Abomination

Version 0.32: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

Abominations are undead monsters made by mashing partially-animated corpses together; this process also leaves them with demonic traits and gives them a permanent might, haste, or regeneration buff. Abominations come in two sizes:

• x Small abomination
• X Large abomination

They usually appear in vaults or can be found roaming naturally in the Abyss. Abominations are vulnerable to silver.

History

• Prior to 0.32, abominations had randomized HD, AC, and EV instead of spawning with a permanent buff. Also, they did not regenerate.
• Prior to 0.31, abominations had randomized speed, 7-15 for small abominations and 6-12 for the large ones.
• Prior to 0.27, abominations could heal by merging with crawling corpses and macabre masses. Also, monsters could cast Twisted Resurrection to create abominations.
• Prior to 0.16, players could also cast Twisted Resurrection.
• Prior to 0.14, abominations could regenerate naturally.
• Prior to 0.12, the player could get a permanent friendly abomination by reading a scroll of unholy creation.
