Festering Appendages:
is a Monster
and a Demon

Festering Appendages are Demons.Baal summons these tentacle-like creatures from the ground, but only during the final battle in the Worldstone Chamber. They lash at nearby targets and deal damage, but are a welcome site to most players, since they can be leeched from at a much better rate than Baal, and often provide full life and mana refills to characters beleaguered by a long and bitter struggle against the Lord of Destruction.

There are two types of Festering Appendages with slightly different stats. However, since they look exactly the same and have the same hover name in the game, there's no way to tell them apart while playing.
