'''AnimalBeasts''' is are one of the three classifications of [[monster]]s in [[Diablo IIIII]]. All monsters belong to one of the classifications in Diablo IIIII, and certain spells or [[item]]s are more effective against different types of monsters. It's not known if these classifications will return in [[Diablo III]], but we're using it since it's a convenient way to sort things, until official information is released.
These classifications are quite similar to those used in Diablo II, with one known difference. What were called "Animals" in Diablo II are "Beasts" in Diablo III.
The classifications of monsters we use in [[Diablo III]] are:
* [[AnimalBeasts]]s ([[:Category:AnimalsBeasts|category]]) - Feral, unintelligent enemies.
* [[Demon]]s ([[:Category:Demons|category]]) - Mostly Sinister, sentient monsters from [[Hell]].
* [[Undead]] ([[:Category:Undead|category]]) - Varying types of re-animated corpses, mostly from humans.
* [[Object]]s ([[:Category:Objects|category]]) - Stationary obstacles, like traps.
The '''AnimalBeasts''' classification is all monsters that generally seem to be more part of nature or the environment than direct creations of [[Hell]]. They are all distinguished by a lack of intelligence, and instead have mostly feral instincts, or basic "hunter" type behaviour. Some of these animals do indeed come from the Burning Hells, however, but they are tools for mayhem used by other [[Demon]]s.
A few "animal" type enemies can also be humanoid creatures, that are just ''not demons''. Humans are included in that.
For a full list of Animal Beast-type monsters, check out the '''[[:Category:Animals|Animals Category]]'''. You can also go to the Diablo 2 Wiki to the find '''{{iw|Category:Animals Diablo 2 Animals}}'''. Note that there is a large, bull-like monster called the [[Beast]]. It is a Beast-type monster, naturally, and no one would complain if the game developers changed its name to something less redundant and potentially confusing.
