A champion among his an [[Aberrantaberrant]] clutch, Abominants are an abominant is a misshapen wrecking balls ball of muscle and chitlin chitin that wields a heavy bludgeoning instrument in battle. So hideous is this monster that soldiers recoil at its very sight.{{Fn|2}}

Like the Aberrants aberrants from which they were created, Abominants abominants are born from the deviation of a typical [[Genestealer Cult]]'s brood cycle. This deviation most often occurs towards the later stages of a cult's lifespan, and an abominant begins its life as any other aberrant. After its birth however, its power is fostered and nurtured to new levels by a [[Patriarch]] via a [[Mindwyrm Familiar]]. The Familiar implants the selected Aberrant with a portion of the Patriarch's own biomass with an organ similar to a [[Genestealer's Kiss]]. Once the injected mutagen is implanted into the chosen Aberrant, the creature is reshaped over a long and agonizing process. Its already robust frame grows even larger and more powerful, while its bones break and are reformed into a more powerful skeletal structure. It gains new potent regenerative abilities that help it survive this process as well as endure in battle. The Mindwyrm Familiar does not depart after this strange gift is given, but continues to exert the will of the Patriarch on the Abominant.{{Fn|2}}
