20% chance of being chosen when a random Champion or Unique pack spawns. Champion packs also spawn in some set locations: Tristram Crystalline Passage (guarding entrance to Frozen River) Glacial Trail (guarding entrance to Drifter Cavern) Drifter Cavern Halls of Vaught (end of hall) Frozen Tundra (guarding entrance to Ancient's Way) Ancient's Way (guarding entrance to Icy Cellar) Icy Cellar [1]

• Spawn in groups of 2-4: all but one are always Champion, with the remaining having an equal chance of being Champion, Berserker, Fanatic, Ghostly or Possessed. [2]
• Champion level is monster level +2: this level is used for chance-to-hit calculation and selecting relevant MonLvl values to calculate base attack rating and damage; base level continues to be used to calculate base defense, life and experience (for both the value and ratio). [3]
• AI cannot be switched.
• Ignores Target Defense does not apply but -% Target Defense from items is 100% effective.
• +% Enhanced Damage from Champion bonuses is halved then rounded down when applied to Willowisp Champion melee physical damage due to a now undocumented change in 1.13. [4] [5] [6]

• Easily identifiable since they are translucent.
• Set to Damage Resist 80%. This even applies to Immune to Physical monsters: although Immune to Physical will still be displayed, physical damage will harm them, and DR -% applied by Decrepify and Amplify Damage will be 100% effective, not 20%. [15] [16]
