Abomination

Abominations are the darkness engulfed versions of an origin species. They are essentially what a Nailux Ghoul will eventually turn into if too much time is spent in the darkness.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Disintegrating, black, shadowy, eldritch. Generally still humanoid in structure but identifying features of origin species are usually indistinct by this point.

Biological Traits

Abominations eventually disintegrate amongst the darkness, and it's a process that takes roughly 200 years.

Ecology and Habitats

Abominations are naturally drawn to the dark, and when not frenzied will wander back to darker areas. It isn't known how the abominations can tell where darkness is with such accuracy.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Darkness sustains abominations, and they no longer require food. However a source of water seems to draw more of them, and abominations have been observed to stand in water for a period of time before moving out of it. It is theorised this is how an abomination hydrates.

Additional Information

Uses, Products & Exploitation

When abominations are killed, the Ashes of Darkness that is produced on their body is a coveted resource for clerics.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Abominations can see in the darkness using a type of blindsight. This blindsight still works with things in the air, as it functions more like echolocation. It is unknown is abominations can still see with any eyes that they once had.
