}}[[Image:Mon-lamprey1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Lamprey]] explosion!]]One of the more interesting monsters seen in the [[WWI 2008]] [[gameplay movie]], the Grotesque are basically living piñatas. They are fat, white, humanoid monsters, who has a very simple attack. What they do instead is run up to a player who comes into range, hits them, receives quite a few hits, bend over backwards and rupture into a massive fountain of wriggling silver eels. There seem to be far more eels within a grotesque than their volume would permit, but such is the nature of [[magic]].
The eels, properly called [[Lamprey]] are wriggling creatures that must be killed lest they consume your character's toes, but they seem to die very quickly, and on the whole the Grotesque/Lamprey combo looks more inventive and amusing than dangerous. One [[AoE]] attack usually kills them all.

==Lore==
The grotesques may seem slow and senseless, but they hide many dangers within their hideously malformed bodies. A set of spikes lurks beneath the monsters' flesh and foul parasites nest within them. It is said that these horrors themselves are constructed by a greater evil... a darkness that I cannot even fathom.<div style="text-align:right;">- [[Deckard Cain</div>]]
In an interview with [[Anthony Rivero]][http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcast-6-diablo-iii-qa/], the designer of the Grotesque, he mentioned the "Corpulent" as the name for this monster. It could be the monster "family" name, or possibly just an alternative name.
