Abomination

Abominations are half-Stand half-human hybrids that appear throughout The Vice. How they are created and how they act and function is near impossible to study due to their mysterious nature. They are credited for being the identities behind famous cryptids, such as Mothman or the Jersey Devil.

## Biology

Abominations vary in appearance drastically - no two Abomination looks the same. Yet they all bear one similarity - the fact that they have the empty skin of their mother dragging behind them like some sort of hellish tail; but some wear it on their heads or on their bodies. Some have even been observed to have their mother's bodies attached to their stomach by the cervix, uterus or even their entire front (stomach, lungs, heart, etc).

Some Abominations are capable of shapeshifting into alternate forms - some are that of a human, others are that of Stands. Some of them possess wings and are capable of flight. Some possess gills and are capable of breathing underwater.

Unlike the average Stand, they are able to be seen and interacted with by non-Stand Users. How long they've existed is debatable, as well as their lifespan. Many figures in religions and cultures (such as the Wendigo of the Algonquian people) are believed to be Abominations that have appeared so much to people that they've become icons of religion and culture, but this theory is up to heavy scrutiny and speculations, some even believing that it's just people trying to explain away what can't be explained, or trying to explain away what simply should be left alone.

## Effects On Others

### Casualties

There have been hundreds of documented cases of deaths and mass destruction at the hands of an Abomination. Most, if not all accounts have been covered up by the Speedwagon Foundation to prevent mass panic. One of their challenges they had faced, however, was the disappearance of an entire town, all for one sole survivor that many believe is the Abomination that caused the destruction.

#### The Disappearance of Windran City

Windran was a quiet city in an unknown place that was (according to The Witness) completely swallowed up by darkness that was "like a fog so thick you couldn't even see a foot in front of your own face". He reports that everybody had fallen asleep, and when he woke up he was completely alone, with only the outlines of buildings' foundations visible in the ground. The Witness reports that everything smelled "like a vultures' dinner party," with the stench of death and rotted carrion filling the air.

### Insanity

Many that have been face to face with Abominations have been admitted to the Speedwagon Foundation's mental health ward with major PTSD and various other forms of trauma, and some have even come in mentally insane. All were the result of these encounters - leading the Speedwagon Foundation's experts to question the nature of the Abominations and their mysterious abilities. Nobody has gotten close enough to observe however, and come back alive or sane (or both).
