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

  • They can usually be one-shot by Dispel Undead.

Alternate Tiles

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