A hellish combination of arachnid and human corpses, these gigantic monstrosities have spelled the doom of many brave souls. A strange, greenish crystalline growth on their backs gathers the toxins they naturally secrete. The Siege Fiend can then channel these poisons at its victim with virulent results.

These creatures are smarter than they appear, perhaps stemming in some way from the overlarge human skulls that make up their "face". The sheer size of the Siege Fiend makes it an easy target, but the speed with which its toxin can kill does not allow for delay when engaging them in combat.

Caste: Necro
Rank: Lesser Demon
Subtypes: Siege Fiend, Death Bringer, Colossus Scourge
Special: Turrets fire huge fireballs, catapult style.

Massive though they are, the Siege Fiends we've seen in gameplay movies have been stationary, and defenseless, dying quickly to Templars with swords. Perhaps their AI is still in need of polishing, or they're only dangerous from a distance, where they can rain down their fireballs upon you. In any event, the three skulls and antenna on the front seem to be little more than hood ornaments, serving no actual purpose.
