This article contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and/or official bonus maps.

The twisted, mutilated bodies of the Abominations are comprised of multiple dead limbs and body parts from various corpses. These enormous warriors love to carve flesh and tear their enemies apart. The slow moving and slow-witted Abominations constantly drip blood behind them and smell like a disease ridden slaughterhouse. They carry large cleavers into combat and wield various sickle-bladed hooks on their disproportionate limbs.

Information[]

Abominations are very powerful ground melee troops with lots of hit points. You should build two Slaughterhouses so that you can build two Abominations at once. Be sure to upgrade the Abominations as much as possible. Abominations are a good progression after Ghouls.

Use Abominations with Necromancers. Cast Unholy Frenzy on Abominations to make them even more powerful. The Abominations are the Undead counterpart of the Human Knight, Orc Raider and Night Elf Huntress.

Counters

Abominations have heavy armor which means it's best to use magic attacks against them.

Spells and abilities[]

Cannibalize[]

BTNCannibalize
Consumes a nearby corpse to heal 25 hit points per second. It takes 20 seconds to fully consume a corpse.
Research Cost Researched At Upgrade Time
50 Gold Crypt 15 sec.
Duration Range Allowed Targets Effect
20 sec. 5 Dead, Organic Heals 25 HP/sec.

Notes: The most wounded units are prioritized, if a group is ordered to cannibalize.

Cannibalize takes a while to work so its best to use it after a battle or to make sure the enemy isn't attacking you while you're using it. Cannibalize and Raise Dead will automatically use corpses in a Meat Wagon as if the corpses were on the ground. So bring Meat Wagons with Exhume Corpses. When units Cannibalize, the most injured units do so first. Group orders won't apply to Ghouls (and Abominations) that are busy Cannibalizing corpses. This is because it would prevent them from healing (Cannibalizing) before the process is complete.

Disease Cloud[]

PASBTNPlagueCloud
Infects nearby enemy living units with Disease Cloud. Disease Cloud deals 2 damage per second. Lasts 75 seconds.
Research Cost Researched At Requirements Upgrade Time
100 Gold 200 Lumber Slaughterhouse Black Citadel 45 sec.
Duration Allowed Targets Effect
75 sec. Ground, Enemy Organic, Neutral Deals 2 damage/sec.

Though the negative regeneration means almost nothing against most units (especially when the enemy has increased natural regeneration), the disease cloud acts as a pseudo-wall when the Abomination dies.
