A hideous conglomeration of mangled body parts, possessed and altered in ways that challenge sanity. 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!”
-H.P. Lovecraft, _The Unnamable_. 1925.

Useful Info

Large abominations are enormous piles of roughly connected humanoid body parts, and much more dangerous than their smaller counterparts. They spawn with haste, might, or regeneration as a permanent buff. No matter their buff, they always deal significant damage in melee. They are often found in the Abyss and occasionally in parts of Pandemonium.

Tips & Tricks

Alternate Tiles

Being haphazard collections of random body parts, large abominations can take many forms:

In console, they can be any manner of colors. Neither the alternate tiles nor colors indicate anything about their stats.

History

  • Prior to 0.32, large abominations had randomized attributes instead of spawning with a permanent buff. Also, they did not regenerate.
  • Prior to 0.31, large abominations had randomized speed (6-12).
  • Prior to 0.27, large abominations could heal by merging with crawling corpses and macabre masses. Also, monsters could cast Twisted Resurrection to create large abominations.
  • Prior to 0.16, players could also cast Twisted Resurrection.
  • Prior to 0.14, abominations could regenerate naturally.
