Abomination

The Abomination is a variation of the Husk which glows red rather than blue and act as suicide troops. The Abomination appears in Mass Effect 2.

Capabilities
Offensive

The Abomination will start to glow and charges at its target, exploding when it gets close. If an Abomination has begun to glow, it will always explode regardless of how it is killed.

Defensive

The Abomination has moderate health but gains light armor on higher difficulty settings.

Tactics
Using Pull on an Abomination is strongly discouraged as the Abomination may be pulled into close proximity with the player and/or party members before exploding. Instead, powers like Throw, Shockwave and Slam should be used to launch the Abomination back to a safe distance where it will explode away from the party.

Incendiary Ammo is moderately effective against Abominations.

Unlike regular Husks, the Dominate power can control an Abomination just like other organic enemies. Once controlled, it will run and explode at Shepard's enemies.

Trivia

 * In the BioWare game Dragon Age: Origins, there is also an enemy called an abomination. When it is killed it will also explode, dealing fire damage.
