Originally classified as Chimera, the Abomination splicer is one that chose to mix different genetic markers into their DNA at every opportunity. Resulting in often terrifying or hideous creations. Abominations, unlike those splicers dubbed Chimera, use a potent steroid infused with illegal regenerative potions alongside their chosen mutagens, most of which were developed on the black market and are highly experimental in nature. The result is the capacity to fully realize the potential of a Splicer, at the sacrifice of more of their humanity and an often horrifying appearance. While clinically referred to as Abomination, many in society refer to these people simply as "Creatures", refusing to acknowledge their status as a truly equal being.
