Abominable

Abominables are Animals.

Winterized versions of the Wendigo found in earlier acts, Abominables are dangerous melee battlers with fast attacks that can stun, a rapid hit rate, and high damage. They are especially dangerous for minions and mercs, since the duration of their stunning slaps stack up, and they can leave a character's army standing motionless for dozens of seconds.

Chilled Froth are listed in the game stats and on Blizzard's site, but they do not appear in the game as of v1.11.

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

Statistics

Speed rates a monster's movement speed. 1 is very slow, 10 is fast, with some very fast creatures rated at 10+.

• 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.

Offense

All Abominable have a chance to stun with their slap attack. Some Abominable have a 33% chance to deal bonus cold damage with their two-fisted overhead hammer blow attack.

Defenses

• Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.
• Blocking values are assigned to every monster in the game, but the ability is seldom enabled, so most monsters can not block (Hence the blocking % given on most Diablo II monster pages, including Blizzard's, is inaccurate.) When enabled, blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to block.
• Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
• Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Resistances

• Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
• Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the Resistances page for more details.

Locations

• Monster variety in Act V on Normal difficulty is static -- the same monsters are always in the same areas. (This was true of Nightmare/Hell also, prior to v1.10.)
• Many Expansion monsters only appear as Guest Monsters in v1.10+.
• Monsters in areas marked "Boss Only" will only appear as random bosses or champions.
• Monsters in areas marked "No Boss" will never appear as random bosses or champions.
