Tainted are Demons.
Large, dog-like, lightning-based demons, Tainted have a melee range bite, and the ability to spit lightning orbs over a distance. They can be dangerous in packs, especially with tough Monster Modifiers. The Superuniques boss Pitspawn Fouldog and his minion pack are often quite dangerous to new characters on Jail level 2.
- 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.
