Trang'Oul is a dragon-god, hence some of the items being named after parts of his body (wings, claws, scales). It's a near omnipotent entity, with unknown connections to the rest of the world. He seems beyond mere demons and angels.

He is meant to be responsible for maintaining "the balance" of Sanctuary and tasked first his disciple Rathma, the Nephalem and then Rathma's progeny (the Necromancers) in helping him with his task.

More lore about it can be found here.

Diablo II Item[edit]

Trang-Oul's Avatar is designed for a Necromancer, with a class specific shield, armor, helm, belt and gloves. This set overall gives many good bonuses.

Patch 1.10 added a nifty bonus to wearing this full set: the character transforms into a Vampire Lord. Only by visual means, but still cool.

It's only available in D2X.

Development[edit]

This item was first seen in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction together with a host of other Item Sets. Significant changes to the game made some item sets less useful and others more so. Runewords became the over-all long-term gear goal for players, taking some shine away from item sets.
