The '''Crypt Child''' is a small humanoid [[demon]] found in the early dungeons of [[Act One]].
These demons were first seen in a screenshot from the beta build, released in July 2011. These monsters are found in the early levels of Act One, and seem to fill much the same role that the {{iw|Flayer Rat Men}} did in Diablo II; fast moving, small, creepy little ankle-biting demonic humanoids.
They attack in packs, and can be dangerous in large groups, but aren't too tough for most heroes to dispatch, especially when singled out.

Little is yet known of Crypt Children. They appear to be small, fast-moving swarmers, but they have only been seen in the [[beta]] demo build. In those early game levels they are purely melee attackers.
There may well be higher level types of this monster, with [[shaman]]s and other advanced units.
===Spells and Abilities===
They have no known spells or special abilities.

There are no Crypt Children in the previous games in the series, but they appear to be quite similar in appearance and function to the Rat Men, who were a subtype of the {{iw|Flayer Flayer monsters}}, which were found all through the jungles of Act Three. Rat Men were weaker versions of Flayers, given a brownish color to make them harder to see in the dark levels of the Catacombs, which they infested in the later levels of Act One.
Like the Rat Men, Crypt Children are small unarmored humanoids that move quickly and attack in packs. Unlike Rat Men and other types of Flayers, the Crypt Children are not armed with massive butcher knives.
