Some monsters spawn with affixes that make them more difficult. Magic monsters have one affix, and Rare monsters have three affixes and access to auras. This is similar to rarity on items, in that magic monsters have their affix added to their name and rare monsters are given a randomly generated name.

Converted or Dominated monsters will apply the aura to you and your party.
