indeed, we might have to flip over the handle bars of our ufo and shoot bullets at their heads. gotta love full life consequences... Lord Snip. 10:51, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

if this idea turns out to be the truth... then that's just pure BAD-ASS.

I know it probably wont look at all like the super arachnoid, but when I heard the words alien experiment, this is what I imagined them to look like.--Moltenfungus 02:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Destroy all Humans
Half human half alien eh, this reminds me of Destroy all humans. For those that haven't played it, a small, gray, big-headed alien gets it on with a russian in his Flying Saucer (giggidy).

I've just completed this DLC and I've never seen these.
What gives?

-Check the Biological Research area, they're found in there. -tobiath

...What?
Really. What? Why are these things on the ship? Why are the aliens making them and then letting them free to slaughter all the crew? What point is there to them? Is there any? Is this the alien's grand plan? Making freaky things for no reason? Did I miss a recording or something? 'Cause I never really figured out why they were there. 65.186.83.127 08:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC)


 * They really only seem to appear after you push a button by where a lot of the Alien Workers are and you watch them get slaughtered. Hilarious, but I really can't believe that one tiny little button could somehow control every other stasis field (or whatever) on the ship. --Carpathian Cookie 14:00, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I think the abominations are the result of a bio weapons progrogram and when you and your rag tag band of humans are wrecking havoc in the ship, they got loose. AEONAME CAME

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
I'm sure I wasn't the only one to notice how they point and scream when they see you. Most likely a reference to the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers, in which the cloned human alien things would point and scream. The clip below is from the 1993 remake (they do it in the 1978 version as well). The scene in question begins at 0:59.

It's not just you. I'm going to put it in. StClair 14:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I did notice this, but their appearance and guttural nature is also very similar to the proto-Alien hybrids from the X-Files. Maybe they're a reference to both? ~ The Unsigned One 6 August 2009

Had no idea about the body snatchers reference...I immediately though of this: http://www.sheeparcade.com/computer-games/arcade-games/space-quest-collection-free.jpg Bigtuna00 18:07, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

um....i have a theory.
ok, so on alien captive recording 17, there's just an alien making noises....and to me it almost translates to sexual grunting....so, is it possible, that the aliens did it with some of our women, and the Abomination is what came out of it?

oh, haha, nvm, i learned that 17 is bugged....well it would've been a good theory tho, huh?

You make me imagine things I don't want to imagine... Anyways, it can be possible but I don't if the aliens DNA would fit with human DNA, or something about our chromosome count.... It's a good theory though...--BloodOmelet 02:38, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, if the aliens tested on the PC using alien genes (with no major side effects of course) but with side effects on other test subjects, then maybe.--Master of cheeZ 05:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Another Theory
I'm not sure if it's obvious from my posts about fallout's creatures, but I'm a biologist and I have a theory about what's going on here. If you really keep your eyes open in the bio labs you'll notice some interesting devices. The first of which seems to be a modified chair that will drain the occupants blood and store it in nearby tubes (which appear to be filled with many quarts of blood each, red blood...human blood). So the aliens drain their captives blood in order to procure large amounts of viable DNA. The second set of interesting devices are the stasis chambers that seem designed for small occupants, while allowing them room to grow. So lets assume the aliens are pretty good at tinkering with genetics, and that they are NOT attracted to our women and that they can splice our DNA with theirs with relative ease. They would already be taking into account any chromosomal anomalies (such as possible alien [unknown to earth, not Thymine, Adenine, Guanine or Cytosine] nucleobases, differences in chromosome number, differing molecular structures in the DNA 'backbone', etc etc). They then splice the human DNA into their alien gametes, resulting in alien sperm and eggs with human components, they then allow them to combine to form a zygote. Once the being is "born" (if they don't use tubes and shit) it is placed in these pods until it grows large enough to keep in the holding cells. There is likely no "off-world love'n" going down on MZ, the chances that we have a similar enough genetic situation for this to occur is so small it's negligible...that is unless...the aliens are actually highly evolved HUMANS from far into the future who've returned to the past in their spacecraft/time machine :P --DashMan54 14:50, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That "FUTURE HUMANS" Thing is a good idea, infact it originated in england in the victorian times in HG Well's the war of the worlds, however i still think that, due to the "Probearms" and "buttprobefadein" Entries in the geck, that Abominations are somehow implanted in women, that is after all their limbs have been disabled and their minds have been turned to pretty much worse than the "Ug ug" mind you get in Fallout 1 if you have low intelligence, Or atleast it was, either that or the aliens just shove lasers up people's assholes for fun, like some sick gameshow. --Non-Logged In Drsalvador
 * .(ok first off i couldn't get a definate space between the other uys post so im telling u now this is a different person) you know, i saw the chair that drains blood too and immidietly thought, hey they must be replacing our human blood with alien blood causing a mutation due to the fact that the alien blood being made of different materials,(combined with how heavily our organs rely on our blood) might make our body partially convert into aliens, but not all the way creating a hybrid with a seriously screwed up brain.--some random guy on the internet

Abomination are E.T. from Spielberg film
I think these are a reference to E.T. :

They look ( quite ) the same and when they attack they point their finger ( ET phone home ). BTW the Add On sucks but I bought it for my brother, hopefully he liked it....

Pre-war books.
The pre-war books dropped by the Abominations are not recognized by Brotherhood Scribe Yearling at the Arlington Library. --207.119.52.141 23:25, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * See Pre-War Books page, only some work, ones with a greenish cover when dropped in the world or with 'Junk' written across them in the Pip-Boy View aren't viable for the library for reasons unknown. ThePog 01:34, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Pickpocket
Since I got my Chinese stealth suit my play style has been to sneak around reverse-pickpocketing things to plant live grenades however trying to pickpocket Abominations doesn't seem to work(In which case I just nail them in the head with my shiny new MPLX Novasurge)

Wow

Slitheen
Personally I think the Abominations look alot like slitheen from the doctor who series, they have the same features, however an abomination is considerably thinner. - RASIC 00:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone else think this or am I the only one that thinks this - RASIC 00:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Since i'm currently in a massive dr who/captain scarlet obsession i have to say yes, infact the first thing i expected an abomination to do was fart and then claw my face off. which it did neither --Non-Loggedin Drsalvador

it does look like a slitheen but i thought of the newborn from alien ressurection.

Creepy Shit, Man
So, once I deactivated the one generator that lets these guys out, an Abomination comes right for me out of the door. It's partially dark, and the greenish lighting shines creepily off their semi-wet looking skin. When I highlight it in V.A.T.S. though, it looks almost human, aside from being an alien experiment gone (possibly) wrong. I nearly flipped when I saw these things.

Anyone else hate these creepy mofos? Ronin

I Fuckin' HATE these SOBS --Anaconda852 18:42, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Greys?
Does anybody else think that the abominations are based on the "gray" aliens?Gray_alien --76.6.110.178 16:14, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Skull-Popping
Is it just me, or is it impossible to actually destroy their entire head? Whenever I try, only the top of the skull comes off, like the Super Mutant Behemoth's head does.
