Just wondering; can normal enemies drop Legendary quality equipment? What is the breakdown for probability for White/Blue/Yellow/Purple?

1They do drop Legendary (I got both of mine from white mobs) no idea what the probability is. – Halfwarr Jun 01 '12 at 19:57

Is it a good idea to use "critter" in the title? I associate small decorative NPCs with that word - the ones that tend to explode when clicked too often in Starcraft. – Fadeway Jun 26 '12 at 21:04

Normal enemies CAN drop a Legendary. Breaking barrels can drop a legendary. There is a chance of it happening, albeit a small one.
NOTE: As of patch 1.0.3, the chance for loot drops from containers is even smaller.
As you have probably noticed, the Elite and Unique enemies tend to have a better chance of dropping better loot. You are more likely to get something good off these mobs, but that doesn't mean a normal enemy couldn't give you a great and rare weapon.
As far as the probability or formula, no one really knows the answer except an official source that would never disclose it.

A friend of mine got a legendary item from a barrel. We could almost not believe it but it is possible. But it's highly unlikely. – Anders Jun 01 '12 at 20:12

I have received two legendary armor pieces from normal mobs. The third one I found was from an elite pack. – lmickh Jun 01 '12 at 21:28

5It is worth noting that loot from "containers" has been reduced in patch 1.0.3. – kalina Jun 22 '12 at 11:09
