Monster modifiers

This page needs additional citations for verification.

Please help improve the page by adding citations to reliable sources.

Some monsters spawn with affixes that make them more difficult. Magic monsters have one affix; rare monsters have three affixes, one of which may be an aura. This system 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. For more information see Rarity#Monsters.

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