The Abomination is a type of cybernetic creature that appears as an enemy in Mass Effect 2 and in the Collector expansion of Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode. They are a variant of the human-based Husks created by the Reapers that are used by the Collectors as suicide troops.
Overview[]
Abominations are distinguishable from Husks by the red glow of their cybernetic components. In battle, they will charge enemies much like Husks do, but after grappling to a target they will explode, killing themselves and the target. If an Abomination is critically wounded then it will detonate prematurely.
Abominations also appear in the multiplayer mode of Mass Effect 3. Like Collector Drones, they can be possessed by Harbinger, becoming stronger and deadlier.
