New monster in Diablo III - The Unburied

Blizzard has slowed down in releasing information about new games - Starcraft II and Diablo III. Amount of released information could be an indication that they are focusing on getting the game finished (at least that's what I keep telling to myself) and surprize us with early release date.

The new monster Unburied looks like a big ugly conjoined twins (or triplets).

The Unburied are composed or combined on number of disfigured rotting corpses. They may appear if there is a number of bodies dumped together unceremoniously. The puzzle is why do they appear instead of "normal" zombies?

Here they are in game setting

Abd al-Nzair desribes them as:

He was a law officer of sorts, a local guard out looking into the depraved handiwork of a crazed individual, the sort we seem to be seeing more and more of in these dark days. When the guard happened upon a mass grave dug by this sick fool, a massive, horned, disgusting behemoth was digging itself out. The dying traveler described this loathsome beast – or, as he termed it, the unburied – as being comprised of bloated parts from many fetid, rotting corpses, with a multitude of disfigured heads and slobbering fanged mouths. He was fortunate that day, but when he returned with several men to help him deal with the creature, they found to their horror that the undead spawn was too much for even their combined efforts. They fought valiantly to the last man, sacrificing themselves to keep the beast from rampaging across the countryside and taking who knows how many innocent lives. He was the last survivor, and before he passed on, he proudly told me that they were successful in eradicating the foul unburied creature.

This last screenshot is definetly something that gives me goosebumps... If I have to face 7 of these beasts I do hope that is later in the game when I will have some good spells and really strong armor.
