You can also make abominations out of corpses that can't be zombified, such as [[ugly thing]]s. They can also be upgraded to large abominations through further use of Twisted Resurrection.

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!”
-H.P. Lovecraft, _The Unnamable_. 1925.

Useful Info

Small abominations are mindless, demonic, undead horrors that stalk the Abyss. They spawn with haste, might, or regeneration as a permanent buff. They are much less dangerous than large abominations, but can still be pests, especially due to their high speed.

Tips & Tricks

  • Though these are much weaker than the big version, they are faster. This makes running from them in the Abyss a challenge, and you generally don't want to stand and fight there.
  • They can usually be one-shot by Dispel Undead.

Alternate Tiles

Being haphazard collections of random body parts, small abominations can take multiple forms:
