Reading a scroll of unholy creation will create a friendly, permanent small abomination to do your bidding. Unlike derived undead, they can heal over time and will follow you up and down stairs.
If you're worshipping a good god, the abomination will be hostile. The good gods also forbid its intentional use.
Strategy
These monsters can be useful allies in the early game, providing additional damage output and being able to survive for a few floors if handled with care. In the mid- and late-game, however, they are too fragile to be of much use.
Tips & Tricks
- If you're worshipping a good god, the hostile abomination can be extremely dangerous in the early-game.
- Zin - Reciting should destroy them with a few attempts. Reciting next to a small abomination is very dangerous early on, however, so try to get some distance between you and the abomination first.
- The Shining One - If you have it, Cleansing Flame works just as well.
- While monsters normally disregard scrolls, intelligent ones will use scrolls of unholy creation if they find them. Bear in mind this does provide a little bit of extra XP and possibly piety if you don't think you'll have a use for them yourself.
History
- Scrolls of unholy creation were removed in 0.12.
- Prior to 0.11, these were known as scrolls of summoning, but functioned identically. The item which now goes by that name functions very differently.
