Sabrecat

Sabre Cats are a type of lacuni enemy encountered in Diablo II.

In-game[]

Sabre Cats wield whips and shields as well as potion grenades and javelins. They are able to travel distances very quickly and are quick to attack anyone who is deemed an enemy. They are very deadly in larger numbers and can cause considerable damage.

Though they run fast, their armor is weak, allowing players to kill them quickly.

Development[]

In their death animation there is an unused blood spurt, it's not broken or anything it's just disabled for Sabre Cats, not connected to the death animation of Spear Cats, and not connected to corpse sprites of both.

Sabre Cats (alongside Slingers) have an unused base red color palette, and unused dark green color palette.

A pre-release gameplay video from June, 1999 shows that Sabre Cats appeared in the Maggot Lair at one point.
