The Bone Fetish is one of the most dangerous monsters in all of Sanctuary. Blisteringly fast and prone to attacking in swarms, these diminutive Undead can easily shatter Bone Armor, obliterate an Energy Shield, trap a character in Block or Dodge animations, or simply send their victims into perpetual Hit Recovery. Walking is simply not quick enough to disengage from a group of Bone Fetishes, while running will rob an adventurer of the benefit of their armor and shield - leaving them completely vulnerable to attacks made as they disengage.
To make matters worse, a slain Bone Fetish will explode when their fragile Life pool is depleted, dealing a devastating burst of physical damage to any hapless adventurer nearby. Thus, attempts to defend oneself from these creatures will often be the very cause of one's demise.

Can be used to make Runewords:
The exploding damage is based upon the TOTAL life, which scales with difficulty settings and player settings (see Hit points on the database).
Other monster auras, such as Amplify Damage can increase the damage the player receives from the explosion, making the encounter very dangerous for melee builds.
Bone Fetish monsters are also particularly dangerous when performing Hell Mephisto Runs with a teleporting character, if the Mercenary is capable of killing them in one hit.
Very famous monster for ending no-Death streaks in SC and entire characters in HC.

These small but wicked undead are one of the main reasons to wield items like Stormshield, String of Ears, Shaftstop, etc - high dr% will save your life more than once. Make sure you keep your distance when these fetishes are exploding - especially if you are under Amplify Damage curse.

Just ran into a pack in the Icy Cellar... HC 96tz 
scared me, especially since I did not expect to see them there and took a second to register

On Hell difficulty, the Bone Fetish has 0% chill effectiveness, therefore being not affected by chill or freeze effects.
These things + any unique w/ Conviction, Amplify Damage, etc = GTFO.
Made it all the way to Act 3 NM no deaths with my SC necro until these lightning fast exploding little shits broke that streak.

Get yourself a Lawbringer and just let your merc deal with these little shits, especially if youre HC. Even killing one of these things can drain a huge chunk of your life when they shatter in your face, let alone an Elite Group with Might or Fanaticism and while you're cursed. For some reason mercs don't seem to suffer as much damage from their Corpse Explosion either, someone correct me if I'm wrong there. Regardless, better your merc than you.
From the Arreat Summit:
Bone Fetish do an incredible amount of melee damage, try to kill them before they kill you or use ranged attacks to kill them before they can get close. They also do a ton of damage upon exploding - this damage is based on the number of players in the game so if you are traveling with a large party be especially careful to destroy them before they can close in.
Horrible nasty little pricks, cost me at least 3-4 resets on HC ladder season 
Any melee character using multiple hit attacks (such as Zeal, Fury: Skill, Fend, or even Whirlwind) needs to be extra careful when dealing with these. Killing two or three in a row will almost certainly mean Death.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing the group catharsis through the sheer anger in these comments. These little bastards are the worst.

Crown of Ages, ideally socketed with Ber runes, is another great (but expensive) item to survive these little ones
