OVERVIEW : This file is used to define Superunique monsters and their properties. Superunique monsters are boss monsters which always appear at the same places and which always have the same base special abilities with the addition of one or two extra ones per difficulty (Nightmare provides one extra ability, Hell provides two). Notable examples are enemies such as Corpsefire, Pindleskin or Nihlathak.
RELATED .TXT FILES : This file is used in conjunction with the following texts:
MonSounds.txt
MonStats.txt
TreasureClassEx.txt
MonUMod.txt
This file is used by MonPreset.txt.
Superunique: it is the ID of the SuperUnique Monster. Each SuperUnique Monster must be use a different ID. It also serves as the string to use in the field 'Place' of MonPreset.txt.
Name: The string key for this SuperUnique which must be retrieved from a .TBL file.
Class: This column defines the base monster type of the SuperUnique, taken by the "Id" column in MonStats.txt.
hcIdx: It is the "hardcoded index". Vanilla SuperUniques in the game ranges from 0 to 65. Some of them have some hardcoded stuffs attached.
NOTE: It is also possible to create new SuperUniques with hardcoded stuff attached. To do this, you can use a hcIx from 0 to 65.
Example A: If you create a new SuperUnique with a hcIdx of 42 (Shenk the Overseer) then whatever its Class, this SuperUnique will have 20 Enslaved as minions (exactly like the vanilla Shenk, and in spite of NOT being Shenk).
Example B: If you want a simple new SuperUnique, you must use a hcIdx greater than 65, because greater indexes don't exist in the code and therefore your new boss won't have anything special attached.
MonSound: This column forces a particular SuperUniques to use a special set of sounds for attacks, taunts, death etc.
The Countess is a clear and noticeable example of this. The MonSound set is - as the name implies - taken from MonSounds.txt.
Mod1 - Mod3: These three columns assign special abilities so SuperUnique monsters such as "Fire Enchanted" or "Stone Skin". The parameters that you need to insert here are actually the Id's corresponding to the properties in MonUMod.txt. Here is the list of available properties.

EClass: a boolean which ranges from 0 to 1 respectively for Classic and Expansion.
AutoPos: it states whether the SuperUnique will be placed within a radius from his original position - defined by the .ds1 map file, or not. A value of 0 means that the boss will spawn in a random position within a large radius from its actual position on the .ds1 file, while a value of 1 will make it spawn exactly where expected.
Stacks Whenever or not this superunique can spawn more then once in the same game (à la 'nolimit' in UniqueItems.txt). If it can , the value should be 1, if it can´t the value is 0. Updated by Nefarius
Replaceable: Unknown.
TC - TC(N) - TC(H): Treasure Classes for the 3 Difficulties. These columns list the treasureclass that is valid if this boss is killed and drops something. These fields must contain an index taken from the "TreasureClass" column in TreasureClassEx.txt (Expansion) or TreasureClass (Classic).

WARNING: Do not remove this column ! Its purpose is to ensure the last column of the tabulated text files are always filled.
