Abomination

Abomination is an obsolete creature subtype representing creatures that are considered unnatural and whose very existence causes disgust and/or hatred.

Abomination debuted as a creature type in Legends for the card of the same name - <c>Abomination</c>.

The type was removed in the Grand Creature Type Update and consolidated into Horror. Since the type became obsolete, there have been 18 other creatures that have been called abominations.
