| A hideous mass of body parts. Each varies in speed, strength, or resilience by the nature of whatever unfortunates were used to make it.
“No — it wasn't that way at all. It was everywhere — a gelatin — a slime yet it had shapes, a thousand shapes of horror beyond all memory. There were eyes — and a blemish. It was the pit — the maelstrom — the ultimate abomination. Carter, it was the unnamable!” |
Useful Info
Small abominations are mindless, demonic, undead horrors with semi-random stats that stalk the Abyss. They are much less dangerous than large abominations, but can still be pests, especially when their speed is higher than 10.
Tips & Tricks
- Though these are much weaker than the big version, they are much more likely to have high speed. This makes running from them in the Abyss a challenge, and you generally don't want to stand and fight there.
Alternate Tiles
Being haphazard collections of random body parts, small abominations can take multiple forms:
History
- In 0.31, small abominations will have speed 12 instead of 7-15.
- Prior to 0.27, small abominations could heal by fusing with crawling corpses and macabre masses. Also, monsters could cast Twisted Resurrection, allowing them to create small abominations.
- Prior to 0.16, players could also cast Twisted Resurrection.
- Prior to 0.14, abominations could heal naturally.
- Prior to 0.12, you could read a scroll of unholy creation to get a permanent friendly abomination.
