Minion of Destruction

Lister and pack

Minions of Destruction are Demons.

These fearsome melee monsters are found only in the Throne of Destruction, and a pack of these headed by Lister the Tormenter are the last type of monster a player must defeat before descending to the Worldstone Chamber to battle Baal. They look like dragons crossed with Aliens, and hit very quickly, do a lot of damage, and even pack a knockback attack.

There are thee types of Minions of Destruction listed in the game stats and on Blizzard's site, but only one type actually spawns in the Throne of Destruction.

• 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.

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