The Torchant is a rather funny looking Viper-like demon and one of the many followers of Na-Krul in Diablo: Hellfire. This monster appears in the final two levels of the Festering Nest. It is a fast-crawling, upright, reptilian things with big eyes. They look creepy and are among the more dangerous monsters in the Hive, thanks to their Fireball spitting attack.
Unlike Advocates, they crawl around and will follow you around corners. This makes them somewhat easier to kill, but more difficult to run from, and a pack of Torchants can emit quite a flurry of Fireballs as they pursue your character through the Hive, it is quite of a serious threat there.
