Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Into what niche do most of the creatures of the Diablo II realm fall?

Answer: Carnivores

A niche is an animal's ecological role. Almost all of the Diablo critters are out to eat you or any other meat that they can get. Thus they are carnivores- meat-eaters!

Answer: The llama

Llamas and other members of the camel family defend themselves with a vile and accurately-aimed spit of putrid semidigested stomach contents.

3. Into what niche do the above-mentioned Corpulent, Corpse Spitter, and Maw Fiend fall?

Answer: Decomposer

Decomposers break down dead things. These critters will pass up a fight to graw on a dead body.

4. Another common inhabitant of the Pandemonium Fortress area is the Grotesque, who produces endless streams of offspring from her mouth. What real-world creature can perform a similar feat?

Answer: The tilapia fish

Tilapias and some other African cichlids are mouthbrooders. The parent fish (the male in some species, the female in others) gathers up the fertilized eggs and holds them in its mouth until they hatch. The parent then spits out the young. The young fish, when threatened, will swim back into the mouth of the parent!

5. Which of the following monsters employs the same method of defense as aardvarks and moles?

Answer: Sand maggot

All defend themselves by rapid burrowing into the ground.

6. Which monster employs the same type of defense as a spitting cobra?

Answer: River stalker

Both spit venom.

7. Which of the following monsters does not have invertebrates as ancestors?

Answer: Slime prince

The blood spider- spider. The rock worm- insect. The bone scarab- insect. The slime prince is a frog. Invertebrates do not have a backbone, but frogs do.

8. Which of these creatures is most similar to bees and wasps in its habits?

Answer: Blood hawk

Like bees and wasps, the blood hawk lives communally in a hive and flies out in search of food.

9. How are Diablo II ecosystems most different from real world ones?

Answer: Skewed ratio of carnivores to herbivores

You have all the meat-eaters out there- but no herbivores for them to prey on!

10. Where would you be most likely to find a small scarab beetle?

Answer: Lut Gholein

These tiny beetles crawl all over the desert sands.
