More animated and challenging bosses
Diablo 4 will feature a mix of familiar bosses (e.g., Andariel and Duriel) and newcomers (e.g., Blood Biship and Drowned Witch). Each has a few unique special attacks. Also, each boss has distinct injury and death animations that should feel rewarding to victorious player. Massive bosses, called World Bosses, randomly spawn in Sanctuary and require multiple players to kill. At launch, there will be three World Bosses.
