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.

Useful Info

Large abominations are enormous piles of roughly connected humanoid body parts. Their HP, AC, EV, and speed are randomized, but they always deal significant damage in melee. They are often found in the Abyss.

Tips & Tricks

• Abominations with high speed are hard to escape from. If you're banished to the Abyss early, and notice a quick abomination, considered teleporting.
• One stat that isn't randomized is their willpower. Unfortunately, at 100, it is moderately high: don't expect wands to do much if you haven't trained Evocations. Similarly, those using Hexes at lower-than-average spell power may find they have some trouble affecting large abominations as well.

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 0.27, 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.
