What were the illusion weavers?
The Illusion Weaver is one of the worst, deadliest enemies we've ever encountered in Diablo. These bastards belonged to the hidden group, and one of their abilities was temporary invisibility – they could disappear and then renew their health points. The weavers looked pretty "ordinary" for hellish monsters – humanoid, androgynous creatures with glowing, light green skin and huge claws and teeth. They lived on the frontier of two worlds, fleeing to the realm of Ether whenever they needed to heal. They became infamous as extremely dangerous even to the most experienced players.
Why were they memorable?
Illusion weavers ruined my game!
My gameplay is stuck because of these maggots! There's at least 15 of them at the entrance! I can't move more than a little bit before these creatures jump on me and overwhelm me. My only option is to start all over.

Aside from the mentioned disappearing and only reappearing when attacked – which usually meant that it was too late to react – these monstrosities were immune to magic, fire, and when they disappeared, they could not be hit by any weapon. Even high-level players were quickly reminded of just how fragile life can be as they encountered a group of the illusion weavers.
