Blunderbore

Blunderbores are a type of demon.

Lore
Blunderbores were originally bred as slave labor. However, they were pressed into service by the forces of Hell, and alchemical enhancements increased the physical muscle mass of these warriors far beyond normal proportions. Their heads, and minds for that matter, have suffered in the transformation, making them quite single-minded in their need to fight. As a sign of dominance and intimidation over smaller opponents, they commonly use the bodies of those they have defeated as weapons. Their tactics consist of lumbering up to their foes and pummelling them with their enormous fists.

Types
There are a number of types of Blunderbore. Blunderbore variants include:"Blunderbores were the prototype of all Blunderbores to come. Though less advanced, they are still a menace when taking orders from their evil lords.

Gorebellies eat any meat they can find, in any condition. Like most Blunderbores, they do not even put their food down to fight.

Maulers take thick-witted joy in pounding on things. If they have nothing to attack, they will punch buildings, the ground, or each other.

Urdars are the newest and smartest of the line. Their power is great enough that the lords of hell keep them as bodyguards and as highly resistant torture subjects."

- Monster summary The spine of the urdar is known to possess unique magical properties that unlock arcane secrets for those brave enough to wield it.

In-game
Blunderbores are ogre-like monsters found in later acts of Diablo II. Because of their enormous strength, their attacks will stun anyone unlucky to be hit. They are quite easy to outwit, but should still be considered a serious threat. They also possess twice the health recovery rate of normal monsters. Blunderbores are often found wandering in old temples and underground tombs.

Blunderbores come in three other variants: Gorebelly, Mauler and Urdar.

These monsters have a 15% chance of Crushing Blow in and a 25% chance of Crushing Blow in. On Hell Difficulty, Blunderbores are immune to Fire, Gorebellies to Cold, and Maulers to. Urdars do not possess any immunities.
