The Minions carry long scimitars, wicked axes or mace-like weapons almost as tall as themselves and swing it in a gigantic downthrust that tears apart their victims. Sometimes they spawn with a shield, but even if they do not spawn with one, they can block incoming melee attacks with their bare hands if need be. They can be transformed in Suicide Minions by the whips of Overseers. Baal's Minions come in eight variants: Enslaved, Ice Boar, Slayer, Fire Boar, Hell Spawn, Ice Spawn, Greater Hell Spawn, Greater Ice Spawn
