==Background==
Nothing is yet known about the source of the [[undead]] Grotesque. It looks like a construct of human body parts, who either just have [[Lamprey]] inside the tissue, or is designed with Lamprey in mind. Like a Lamprey container.
==Diablo I Monster==
The Grotesque did not feature in [[Diablo I]].
==Diablo II Monster==
The Grotesque did not feature in [[Diablo II]].
==Development==
In an interview with [[Anthony Rivero]][http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcast-6-diablo-iii-qa/], the designer of the Grotesque, he mentioned the "Corpulent" as the name for this monster. It could be the monster "family" name, or possibly just an alternative name.
