The term kill refers to causing death of a creature.
When kills are made by summoned minions, totems, traps or mines, player characters are credited for kills for the purposes of increased item quantity and rarity, flasks, and achievement-related stats, but generally not combat-related stats, where the non-player entity would get the credit for the kill instead.[citation needed] However, there is currently a bug that causes any damage over time kills to always grant credit to the player character even if they are caused by a minion, totem, trap, or mine.[citation needed]
Corpses
Most creatures leave corpses on death. Totems and non-unique monsters killed when frozen or under certain effects (e.g. 
PyrePyre
Sapphire RingRequires Level 11+(20-30)% to Cold Resistance+(25-35)% to Fire Resistance
(60-80)% increased Burning Damage
40% of Cold Damage Converted to Fire Damage
10% increased Light Radius

On/when kill effects

- gain temporary buffs (e.g. charges)
- gain life, mana or energy shield
- skill-specific effects (e.g.
Infernal Blow's explosion)
