Abomination (creature)

For the lore article, see Abomination.

An abomination is a monster created when a demon possesses a mage.

Background[]

There are stories of abominations that have ravaged entire settlements or even gone on to tyrannize a countryside for years after their creation. Most of the world does not know, however, that the strength of an abomination depends entirely on the power of the demon that possesses the mage. Thus, the magnitude of threat an abomination can pose is dependent on the type of demon that possesses the mage.

Skill Used	Condition	Use Chance
Rage	HP < 75%	50%
Rage	Any	20%
Triple Strike (its effect varies slightly in abomination types)	Any	30%

Strategy[]

Abominations are vulnerable to fire, but are immune to nature damage, as well as being resistant to cold damage (but they can still be slowed, frozen, petrified or shattered). As a result, the party should avoid using Shale's natural crystals, Acid Flasks, Acidic Traps, and most poisons against them, in favour of their fiery equivalents.
Abominations one of the few enemies to have electricity resistance (25%).
Abominations explode shortly after death, dealing minor area of effect damage.

Notes[]

Although this article lists abominations as demons, in terms of resistances, abomination can sometimes be classified as undead. Some abominations (first and second floor of the Circle Tower, for example) have high cold resistance and negative fire resistance. Demons however should have high fire resistance and no cold resistance. Other abominations (third floor of the Circle Tower) do not have either cold or fire resistances.
- Cold iron runes do not damage abominations even when their resistances are set to be like those of the undead.
