Abomination.

Once they were human. Now they are corrupted echoes that bleed deeper and leave scars on the ledger.

Quick facts

Abominations are rare spawns among regular humans.
They carry more blood than ordinary humans.
Each has its own Essence reward.
Every Abomination kill is permanent and also counts as a human kill.
Some Abominations return after death; if one rises again, the hunt resumes.

Identifying an Abomination

Each Abomination carries an individual echo or description. A Blighted Abomination Scan may show its status, current blood, Essence reward, and echo or backstory.

Abomination scans deliberately omit:

Hunter Protection progress
Witch Resurrection progress
Revival scheduling or cooldown details

Hunter Protection and Witch Resurrection do not apply to Abominations. Any Abomination-specific return behavior is separate from Witch Resurrection.

Rewards and tracking

Abominations have larger blood stores than ordinary humans.
The Essence reward varies by Abomination and is claimed by the killing blow.
The kill is written to the ledger permanently and also counts toward human kills.
Qualifying combat against an Abomination can restore Hunter Energy.

Leaderboards and ledger

The login-required Abomination Kills page includes the current Abomination list and kill leaderboard.
