Permanent life draining zombies.

[Rustweaver]

I've run into these guys before back in the day, but I forgot this time thus ruining a barb... I learned a lesson. Just to be sure is it just the yellow zombies?

Which difficulties can these yellow zombies be found?
Are there other monsters which do this?

Some info would be greatly appreciated on this subject. I'd rather not mess up another character.

Yes they are the yellow zombies ("black death").
The monsters can be found in Normal, Nightmare, and Hell difficulties.
They appear on levels 3, 4, 5. They are the only monster that reduce your HP permenantly.
