Blizzard announced Diablo 4 during BlizzCon 2019 last year and fans are now looking forward to the release of the title. Recently, Senior Encounter Designer, Candace Thomas shared a brand new blog post in which she revealed a brand new monster type Cannibals that will be featured in Diablo 4. The new enemy is called Cannibals and a new trailer accompanies their reveal detailing them in action.
According to the official blog post, Cannibals are explained as:
Corpses riddled with bite marks. Splintered bones scraped clean of marrow. Tongues sawed off and eyes gouged out of their skulls. These are the bloody fingerprints the Cannibals leave behind—if they leave behind anything at all. No one is certain where they come from, but some legends claim they are a former tribe of barbarians, banished from Arreat years ago. Whether their cannibalism led to their exile or developed out of desperation afterward is unknown. The outcasts brought their endless hunger to the Dry Steppes, and from there spread to the far corners of the world to prey on lonesome caravans and unsuspecting villages
Candace also details that the Cannibal family has four members and each of the family member comes with their own unique weapon and a different silhouette or stance to help players identify the different members. Two of these family members are melee fighters where one of them wields a two-handed greatsword cleaver while the other fights with a lightweight halberd.
Check out the Cannibals reveal trailer below.
The other members include the bruisers and the swarmers. The bruisers use a spiked club in each hand to land attacks that can stun players while on the other hand swarmers come to the fights equipped with dual axes and land flurry of frontal attacks. All of the family members combine their attacks together blocking escape routes for the players and killing them swiftly. The Cannibals are one of the deadliest enemies in the upcoming Diablo 4.
