Bishibosh
Type: Fallen Shaman
Special Attributes: Magic Resistance, Fire Enchanted
Found in: The Cold Plains. Always in one of the fallen camps.
Quest: Not part of any quest.
Comments: Like other shaman SuperUniques, Bishibosh is able to resurrect other Shaman as well as Fallen. In earlier versions of the game shaman bosses spawned with a pack of shaman and regular fallen. Bishibosh could be quite difficult as he and his minions resurrected dead Fallen almost as quickly as players could kill them. This feature was removed in v1.09 when boss shaman were nerfed by spawning only with regular Fallen rather than Fallen Shaman. Bishibosh can still resurrect shaman but he does not spawn with a pack of them so you’ll only see this occasionally.

Bishibosh dead. Easy.

Blood Raven
Type: Corrupt Rogue Archer
Special Attributes: Fire Arrow
Found in: The Burial Grounds
Quest: Blood Raven must be killed to complete the Sisters’ Burial Grounds quest.
Comments: Blood Raven has the ability to summon new Hungry Dead from the Burial Grounds and can be quite difficult for new characters. She is quick and hard to kill, takes a lot of damage, and her fire arrows are highly accurate and rather painful. She will sometimes run outside the graveyard if pursued, but will not move far from the fence. She’s the hardest and most dangerous monster to kill in the first few areas of the game for most new characters.

Blood Raven dead. Easy but very slow, I had to leap to push her away from her minions sometimes cause she revived them faster then I could kill them.

Found a Conquest Sword. Will socket with cube later.

Bonebreaker
Type: Skeleton, Undead
Special Attributes: Extra Strong, Magic Resistant
Found in: The Crypt. (Dungeon below the the Burial Grounds.)
Quest: Not part of any quest.
Comments: Bonebreaker and his minions are often ignored for the fact that they reside in a non-vital area to complete a quest. However, they can provide a slightly large amount of experience for lower-level characters when killed.
Bonebreaker can typically be found guarding the room containing a golden chest.

Bonebreaker. Hard. Not a lot of place to move around.

Coldcrow
Type: Dark Ranger
Special Attributes: Cold Enchanted
Found in: Act I, The Cave
Quest: Not part of any quest.
Comments: Like Bonebreaker, Coldcrow may reside in an area not vital to visit to complete a quest, but it is often mentioned that she is the best monster to kill for the chance to find Gull, the unique class dagger popular for its 100% magic find property.

Coldcrow dead. Medium. Could engage her in a nice spot.

Rakanishu
Type: Carver
Special Attributes: Lightning Enchanted, Extra Fast
Found in: Act I, The Stony Field
Quest: Rakanishu is not a required kill, but he is always found within the Field of Stones, where players must venture on the Rescue Cain quest.
Comments: Rakanishu and his pack of minions are usually the fastest monsters a new character has seen in the game up to that point. Killing all of them, with the Fallen scattering in every direction each time one falls, can be frustrating. Also, Rakanishu is often the first lightning enchanted monster a character encounters, which makes him memorable.
He, along with Bishibosh and Colenzo the Annihilator, seems to be a demi-god of sorts to the other Fallen and Fallen Shaman; they constantly grumble and mutter his name as they fight.

Rakanishu dead. Medium. It was so much stuff around him.

Treehead Woodfist
Type: Brute
Special Attributes: Extra Strong, Extra Fast
Found in: Dark Wood
Quest: Not a required kill, but he always spawns right beside the Tree of Inifuss, which must be clicked to obtain the Scroll of Inifuss, which is required as part of the Rescue Cain quest.
Comments: Treehead and his brute squad are quite a challenge to new characters, especially ranged attackers, who may end up running quite a distance while firing desperately over their shoulder at the relentless creatures.

Treehead Woodfist dead. Easy.

Griswold
Type: Special, Undead
Special Attributes: Cursed
Found in: Tristram
Quest: Griswold is found in Tristram, where the player must venture to Rescue Cain, but killing him is not required to complete the quest.
Comments: Griswold is a slow but powerful melee attacking undead. He can be slow to die, and his high damage and Cursed property makes him dangerous to melee fighters.
Griswold was the NPC blacksmith in Diablo I, and his appearance as a monster in Diablo II is a nice continuation of the plot from the first title.

Griswold dead. Easy but slow.

Cain saved.

The Countess
Type: Dark Stalker
Special Attributes: Fire Enchanted
Found in: Forgotten Tower
Quest: The Countess must be killed to complete the Forgotten Tower quest. She’s also an integral part of the special Pandemonium Event since she drops the Key of Terror.
Comments: The Countess was largely ignored until v1.09 when she was given a high possibility to drop a rune when killed. The odds of her rune drops increased in v1.10 and as of v1.11 she is a popular monster to “run” for the potential high-level runes she drops:

Normal: El (r01) – Ral (r08).
Nightmare: El (r01) – Io/Ko (r18); above Io (r16) is much rarer.
Hell: El (r01) – Ist/Lo (r28); above Ist (r26) is much rarer.

Countess dead. Easy but slow, I had to lure out all the minions and then engage her.
