[[Image:Mon-izual.jpg|thumb|left|Izual the [[SuperUnique]].]]Izual AKA Izzy, isn't dangerous, but he can be quite tedious, with more hit point than any sub-Act Boss monster, and relatively high resistances to go with it. He's even got cold attacks with a very long chill duration, to further slow the killing speed of most characters. When Izual dies (just like [[Shenk the Overseer]] in Act Five) all the other monsters within a screen or two die as well, so it can be worth it to whittle Izual down to a sliver, then lead him to a crowded area (or lead crowds to him) before delivering the ''coupe de grace'' and killing dozens of monsters at once. There's no experience bonus from this sort of crowd kill, and the drops from the slain monsters do not check to you character's gold/magic find, so it's just a fun little trick, rather than a source of any real profit.
Izual figures prominently in the game fiction. He was an a battle angleangel, like Tyrael, who led an assault on the Hellforge to attempt to stop the forging of a the great demon sword, Shadowfang. He failed, was captured by the demons, and tortured and tormented until he switched allegiances and joined the forces of evil (unbeknownst to them, a fact Izual reveals in the dialogue following his defeat).
