A hideous mass of body parts. Each varies in speed and durability by the nature of whatever unfortunates were used to make it.

Useful Info

Small abominations are mindless, demonic, undead horrors with semi-random stats that stalk the Abyss. They are much less dangerous than large abominations, but can still be pests, especially when their speed is higher than 10.

Small abominations can be created from corpses by the monster-only Twisted Resurrection spell, and they also spawn randomly in the Abyss. They do not heal naturally, instead they can regain hitpoints by fusing with crawling corpses and macabre masses[1]..

Tips & Tricks

  • Though these are much weaker than the big version, they are much more likely to have high speed. This makes running from them in the Abyss a challenge, and you generally don't want to stand and fight there.
  • Being brainless, they can be lured into traps easily.

Alternate Tiles

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