Lightning Demon

Lightning Demons are a type of demon encountered in Diablo I.

In-game
Lightning Demons attack via a slow but powerful lightning ray and are found throughout the caves and in the upper Hell.

Care should be taken when facing these demons in melee combat. They attack with frightening speed, allowing them to do 2 attacks in the time it takes a Warrior to swing his sword. Add their Lightning ranged attacks and one could consider them the Lightning version of the Magma Demons, only hardier to wounds.
