Fetish

From Diablo 2 Wiki

Fetish are Demons.

These are not those odd items of clothing your parents keep tucked away on the top shelf of the closet, but small, fast, cleaver-wielding monsters. Fetish attack in packs, launching stab-and-run assaults sure to enrage most characters. Individually weak, Fetish can be dangerous in numbers, and they often spawn in mobs of a dozen or more, then use their lightning foot speed to swarm furiously.

Chasing Fetish is a fool's game; better is to hold still and let them rush you, then kill them when they get close. Characters with ranged attacks will have little difficulty with Fetish, providing caution is used to avoid getting swarmed by the initial rush. Most types of Fetish can appear with Fetish Blowdarts, and they can be resurrected by Fetish Shaman.

  • All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.


Statistics

  • The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
    • Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher TC.
    • The max TC/Rune possible depends on which level a monster spawns in, and can vary slightly from the listed values (monsters that spawn in later levels can drop higher level items). See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.
