'''Full Stats:''' [[Corpsefire ]] <br>

'''Comments:''' On the [[Hell]] difficulty, [[Corpsefire]] has high [[physical]] [[resistance]] and often possesses the "[[Physical]] Immune" attribute. This made him a special challenge in earlier versions of the game, since he had to be killed to finish this quest, and since so few monsters were Physical Immune back then.

[[Image:Mon-the-countess1.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[The Countess]] <br>

* Hell: [[El]] (r01) - [[Ist]]/[[Lo]] (r28); above Ist (r26) is much rarer.

[[Image:Mon-pitspawn01.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Pitspawn Fouldog]] <br>

[[Image:Mon-boneash01.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Bone Ash]] <br>

'''Quest:''' Not part of any quest.<br>

'''Comments:''' [[Bone Ash]] is a popular superunique to kill since he is so quickly and easily found in the middle of the Cathedral near the [[Inner Cloister]] [[waypoint]].

===The Smith===

'''Comments:''' The Smith is reminiscent of the [[The Butcher|Butcher]] from [[Diablo I]]. He's not as fierce or bloody but he looks similar and moves quickly to initiate a pounding [[melee]] attack. He doesn't carry or drop a [[Cleaver]] like the Diablo I boss and he's relatively easier. He uses the same graphics sprite as [[Hephasto]], found in [[Act Four]], who guards the [[Hellforge]].

[[Image:Mon-andariel01.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Andariel]] <br>

'''Quest:''' [[Andariel]] must be killed to complete the [[Quests_Act_One#Quest_Six:_Sisters_to_the_Slaughter|Sisters to the Slaughter]] quest and advance to [[Act Two]].<br>

'''Comments:''' [[Andariel]] has a special poison projectile attack and poison stinging claws and should be treated with caution.

==Act Two SuperUniques==

[[Image:Mon-radament.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Radament]] <br>

[[Image:Mon-creepingfeature.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Creeping Feature]] <br>

'''Comments:''' The name is a joke based on "feature creep" the gaming industry term for additional features that keep creeping into a game and delaying its completion. Diablo II was released over a year late, and one assumes this monster was named during the endless crunch time.

[[Image:Mon-bloodwitch.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Blood Witch the Wild]] <br>

'''Comments:''' [[Blood Witch]] is always found in a room with the glowing chest that holds the [[Horadric Cube]]. It's not necessary to kill Blood Witch to obtain the [[cube]], but it's hard to avoid as quickly as she had her fellow kitties swarm any intruding characters.

[[Image:Mon-beetleburst.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Beetleburst]] <br>

'''Comments:''' [[Beetleburst]] is not necessarily [[Lightning Enchanted]], though like all types of dung beetles, he emits sparks when struck.

[[Image:Mon-coldworm.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Coldworm the Burrower]] <br>

[[Image:Mon-darkelder.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Dark Elder]] <br>

'''Comments:''' [[Dark Elder]] is fast... for a [[zombie]]. He's also very often [[physical]] [[immune]] on [[hell]], and can be quite difficult to kill if he spawns with [[Stone Skin]] and some other elemental enchantments, giving him multiple immunities.

[[Image:Mon-fangskin.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Fangskin]] <br>

[[Image:Mon-fireeye.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Fire Eye]] <br>

[[Image:Mon-summoner.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[The Summoner]] <br>

[[Image:Mon-ancient-kaa.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Ancient Kaa the Soulless]] <br>

[[Image:Mon-duriel.jpg|frame]]

'''Full Stats:''' [[Duriel]] <br>

'''Quest:''' Duriel must be killed to complete [[Quests_Act_Two#Quest_Six:_The_Seven_Tombs|the Seven Tombs quest]], and to move on to [[Act Three]]. <br>

'''Comments:''' [[Duriel]] is the act boss of act two, and is a formidable, tank-like foe. He boasts a fast, painful charging attack, a rapid-strike jab, and a stunning [[Smite]]. He was terrifying prior to [[v1.09]], but in that patch his damage was lowered considerably, and he lost his "kill you before the level finishes loading" ability. Duriel insists that he is big-boned. Not fat.

==Act Three SuperUniques==

Mephisto was the first hugely popular "item run" monster, since he drops very nice, high quality items, and can be reached fairly quickly from the Durance Two waypoint. v1.10 made him somewhat more difficult to find by increasing the size of Durance Two, and he can no longer be leached for life or mana on Nightmare or Hell difficulty, but he's still quite a popular item finding destination.

==Act Four SuperUniques==

'''Quests:''' Hephasto must be killed to acquire the Hellforge Hammer, which you must equip and use to smash Mephisto's soulstone on the Hellforge to [[Quests_Act_Four#Quest_Two:_The_Hellforge|finish that quest]].<br>

'''Comments:''' Hephasto isn't too fierce in D2X, but early in D2C, prior to v1.07, he was terrifying thanks to big damage and his Cursed and Extra Strong properties. In v1.07 he lost some of his damage and both of his nasty modifiers, making him far less dangerous.  He shares graphics with [[The Smith]] from Act One, and was clearly modeled in an homage to The Butcher, a famous monster from ''Diablo I''.

===Grand Vizier of Chaos===

Thanks to these changes, De Seis is now simply another Oblivion Knight, and can be dangerous if he spawns with a nasty aura (such as Might to strengthen his minions), but he's nothing special anymore.

===Infector of Souls===

'''Quests:''' Diablo is the final boss of Act Four, and must be killed to [[Quests_Act_Four#Quest_Three:_Terror.27s_End|finish the game]] in D2C, or to advance to Act Five in D2X.<br>

'''Comments:''' Diablo has a variety of spells and, like many monsters in the game, was much more dangerous in early versions, when his Firestorm and Pink Lightning Hose could insta-kill characters under the right circumstances. He's been nerfed in various patches, and is no longer quite the terror he once was. Especially not when compared to [[Uber Diablo]] or [[Pandemonium Diablo]], much fiercer versions of himself added in special realm-only quests in v1.10 and v1.11.

==Act Five SuperUniques==

===Dac Farren===

'''Quests:''' Kill Shenk to complete the [[Quests_Act_Five#Quest_One:_Stop_the_Siege|Stop the Siege quest]]. <br>

'''Comments:''' Shenk spawns amidst a huge mob of minions, and is a tempting item run and experience target, sitting as near as he does to the Frigid Highlands waypoint. Since MSLE was nerfed in v1.10, he is not a threat to any but the most underpowered characters. Shenk's corpse can not be touched by any corpse skill, including Find Item. Shenk gets his name from Phil Shenk, one of the lead artists on Diablo II.

===Eldritch the Rectifier===

'''Quests:''' Not part of any quest. <br>

'''Comments:''' Bonesaw spawns in a special, stage-like area in the Glacial Trail, right beside a golden chest. It's worth the detour to kill this SuperUnique and open the super chest, if you are exploring the level.

===Snapchip Shatter===

'''Quests:''' Not part of any quest. <br>

'''Comments:''' Snapchip always spawns near the golden chest in the Icy Cellar dungeon level, below the Ancients' Way. Like all Frozen Creepers, he shatters upon death, so Find Item can not be used on him.

===Pindleskin===

Like [[Bishibosh]] and [[Rakanishu]], Colenzo is an apparent demi-god as his name is often muttered by his kind.

===Achmel the Cursed===

'''Quests:''' Lister and his entire pack must be killed or moved out of Baal's sight range (to the end of the throneroom) before Baal will enter The Worldstone Chamber. All the packs must be destroyed to continue on your way to completing the [[Quests_Act_Five#Quest_Six:_Eve_of_Destruction|Eve of Destruction quest]]. <br>

'''Comments:''' Minions of Destruction are a special, dragon-like type of monster found nowhere else in the game. Lister can not spawn with MSLE; the only one of Baal's five monster packs who can not. He's quite dangerous anyway, with the fast attack rate of his monster type, and quite high damage. Lister with Cursed, or Extra Strong, or Might, is quite dangerous. Give him two of those, and you're really in trouble. Lister represents Act Five, in Baal's sequential run of Act-themed monster packs.

===Baal===

'''Quests:''' Baal must be killed to complete the [[Quests_Act_Five#Quest_Six:_Eve_of_Destruction|Eve of Destruction quest]]. <br>

'''Comments:''' Baal is the final monster in D2X, but seldom the most difficult. Many players find him to be somewhat easier than his minions, though he has enough spells and hit points to offer a challenge to most players.

==Special Area SuperUniques==

Besides the monsters found in the five acts, there are a few other special boss enemies to be concerned with.  

===The Cow King===

Once a character defeats Baal on a given difficulty level, that character may open the red portal to the [[Secret Cow Level]]. There you will find the [[Cow King]], and countless numbers of his (her?) mooing brethren. Hamburger them all.

===Uber Diablo===

Besides the Cow King, there are two other realm-only quests.  The first has no proper name, and is commonly referred to as the Uber Diablo quest. In this quest players selling Stones of Jordan [[Unique Rings]] may trigger Uber Diablo to appear in the place of one of the SuperUniques in a given game. Uber Diablo is the only monster in the game who can drop [[Unique Charms|Annihilus]], the Unique small charm. See the [[Uber Diablo ]]page for more details.

===The Pandemonium Event Bosses===
