Baal's Minion

For the minions Baal summons in the Worldstone Chamber, see Minion of Destruction.

Baal's Minion

Baal's Minions are demonic servants of Baal.

In-game

Diablo II

"The newest monsters created by Baal to serve in his army of destruction, they are stealthy, quick-footed, and unusually tough for their size. Bony knobs protrude from their thick hides, giving them added protection against melee weapons."

- Monster summary^(src)

The Minions appear in Act V of Diablo II. They carry long scimitars, wicked axes or mace-like weapons almost as tall as themselves and swing it in a gigantic downthrust that tears apart their victims. Sometimes they spawn with a shield, but even if they do not spawn with one, they can block incoming melee attacks with their bare hands if need be.

They can be transformed in Suicide Minions by the whips of Overseers.

Uniques

• Eldritch the Rectifier -- Extra Fast Enslaved found near the Waypoint in Frigid Highlands

Diablo Immortal

"These stocky monstrosities still carry the banner of their defeated creator, the Lord of Destruction, in the wastes of Arreat. Why they continue to demolish an already-ruined land and hunt its refugees remains a mystery—is this instinct, or some greater will?"

- Monster description^(src)

Baal's minions

Baal's Minions appear as monsters in the "Destruction's End" dungeon and Ruins of Sescheron zone in Diablo Immortal.

Trivia

This section contains facts and trivia relevant to this article.

• Amusingly enough, the minions' penis is visible in both concept art and the in-game sprites. This was unfortunately removed in Diablo 2: Resurrected.
• Other Minion Demons apart from Baal's Minions appear in Diablo Immortal—Skarn's Minions found in the Halls of Punishment and Unbound Minions in the Defense of Cyrangar. All variants are identical in appearance, with only slight differences in their armor. This implies that Baal's Minions are not unique to Baal, but are simply Minion Demons he created for his Army of Destruction.

development

• Slayers use a color palette of number 2 while the Ice Boars use number 1, furthermore in the Expansion Beta v1.41 files they used these palettes in opposite order - Slayer (1) and Ice Boar (2). It seems that Developers decided to swap the color palettes of Slayers and Ice Boars for the retail release, though their exploding variants still have the original palette order as an oversight.
