It's been a while since Blizzard has made an update, but finaly they have unloaded a heavy amount of info. The Fallen Ones have returned and they are thirsty for war, blood, and revenge.
The Fallen Ones come in all shapes and all sizes. They provide a large quantity (and quality) of weapons and units to fight in large packs of groups. Here is what they have to offer:
Imps - These are the commonest of the fallen family of demons. They are the stereotypical fallen ones in look and behavior: small, red, swarming, bloodthirsty, and cowardly.
Shaman - Fallen shaman priests lead camps of fallen. I have also heard it rumored that they possess the ability to raise imps from the dead!
Lunatic - These enraged, oversized fallen creatures are bloated seemingly to the point of bursting, an impression buttressed by the fact that these insane demons rush their intended victims and then stab themselves until they explode. A more fitting name could not be found for these maniacal beings.
Overseer - The fallen overseer drives his smaller impish charges into a frenzy with his ape-like leaping and growling. An overseer among a group of fallen is a dangerous thing, as the cowardice that usually characterizes them is overwhelmed by fear of their much larger brethren.
Hounds - These slobbering abominations are commonly found among groups of the fallen and are utilized as guard animals, beasts of burden, or even food by their demonic masters. These beasts are loyal to a fault, regardless of the abuse heaped upon them.

The Diablo III bestiary has been updated with a demon family you may recognize - The Fallen Ones!
"When unleashed upon our realm by their master, Azmodan, these impish terrors display a tendency to swarm like flesh-hungry locusts, and they have been known to tear apart a sleeping village in minutes. Small of stature and simian in appearance, these creatures possess surprising strength and unnatural agility. Other than feasting on human flesh, the only act that gives these unspeakable horrors pleasure is breeding; hence the tendency to encounter them in large packs."
Visit http://www.Diablo3.com for the full bestiary update, including concept art, screen shots, and video!"
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm in the heavy mood to play some Diablo. All this talk and information about the knew Fallen Ones has set me in the vibe.
