Thorned Hulk

Thorned Hulks are a type of creature found in Sanctuary.

Lore
Composed mostly of wood, Thorned Hulks are the ancestral protectors of the jungles of Kehjistan. Despite their strength and immense bramble and thorn-covered arms, even they were twisted by the Prime Evils. Their now glassy, lifeless eyes hint at a deep sorrow beneath a glowing Hell-induced hatred.

By 1270, Thorned Hulks were also found on Bilefen.

Types
Thorned Hulks possess little in the way of intelligence, and those who have to confront these beasts consider that fortunate as they pity the hulks fate.

Bramble Hulks, while no more intelligent, show some spark of would-be cleverness as they sometimes make the futile attempt to hide between a tree or shrub before they attack.

Thrashers have become giants in the service of darkness, dwarfing lesser hulks and most of their opponents.

Spike Fists have laid waste to entire bands of heroes with their terrible fists. Their only weakness may lie an absolute fearlessness, as if the brutes wanted nothing more than to bash everything (including themselves) into oblivion.

Diablo II
Thorned Hulks are found in of Diablo II.

Thorned Hulks use a skill similar to and have a chance to Stun the player upon striking. They also possess twice the health regeneration rate of regular monsters.

While they can inflict considerable damage and are fairly powerful in groups, they have somewhat poor defense and can be easily slain in a matter of hits much like the Wendigo.

Thorned Hulks have four variants, three of which are found in Act III: Thorned Hulk, Bramble Hulk, and Thrasher. The Spikefist is a variant of the Thorned Hulk listed in the game files, but not found in game.

All variants of the Thorned Hulk are immune to Cold in Hell difficulty.
