The Smith is a Super Unique found in Barracks. It never spawns with minions and always has the Extra Strong modifier.
The Smith can be found in the Barracks during Act I of Diablo II. He guards
Horadric Malus, a quest item required by Charsi to complete the 
Tools of the Trade quest.
Resembling the Butcher from Diablo I, The Smith is a large demon blacksmith wielding a massive hammer and attacking with fierce melee blows that can quickly overwhelm unprepared players. It uses the same model as Hephasto The Armorer.
The Smith gets faster as he gets hurt: when he walks, he gains half the life he has lost as extra speed, up to +50% just before he dies.
When facing The Smith, it’s best to lure him away from nearby enemies and use ranged attacks or hit-and-run tactics, as his damage output and speed can be dangerous in close combat. Once defeated, he drops the Horadric Malus, which can be returned to Charsi for an Imbue reward, allowing players to enhance a normal item into a rare one.
