Overview
Regurgitators are hulking demons formed, in Blizzard's Diablo II account, from the flesh and bile of the damned. They can strike directly, but their distinctive behavior is eating a corpse and vomiting the digested material as a poisonous projectile. A battlefield's dead bodies thus become ammunition rather than passive scenery. Corpulents, Corpse Spitters and Maw Fiends are collected within this creature family.
The official guide describes individuals moving toward available corpses even when an opponent is nearby, connecting feeding behavior with their attack pattern. That observation supports a specialized combat ecology without explaining every aspect of infernal digestion. Diablo II and Resurrected provide the selected depictions; variant statistics and later patches are outside the profile's stable traits. The creature is distinct from ordinary scavengers and from monsters whose spit is generated without a consumed corpse.
First appearances & development
Selected treatment: Diablo II (2000). This entry follows the version represented by the primary works listed below, rather than treating the name as a single creature shared by every adaptation. This profile follows Diablo II and its named expansion or remaster, not every later Diablo game. Difficulty, variants and patches change attacks and resistances.
Canon & continuity
Blizzard's individual Arreat Summit monster page supports this creature family's lore, named variants and selected behavior. Diablo II supplies the original encounter, and Diablo II: Resurrected supplies the later visual treatment. The guide itself warns that its comparison statistics may differ from actual gameplay; numerical tables are not treated here as permanent lore.
