Arma–Throtten, Abomination of Decay
INDIVIDUAL: Arma–Throtten is a particularly monstrous and grotesque Abomination that is mentioned by name twice in the Next Testament (which is the primary source that established its name), and was encountered on six different occasions on four different planets – Wegneheck, Olymarchus, Namyufefe (twice) and Dexwhupra (also twice), to be exact – over a length of time spanning Ages 113 to 145. At the culmination of the last such encounter taking place on Olymarchus, Arma–Throtten was, thanks to the divine intervention of five Humebockles, wounded by way of a concentrated stream of Rainbow Energy to its left eye, retreated back into the darkness beyond the Prime Galaxy's borders (from whence it presumably came to the Prime Galaxy in the first place) and has never been seen since, though it remains a prominently menacing figure, a "boogeyman" of sorts, in the cultural consciousnesses of the peoples whose planets it attacked. All of Arma–Throtten's attacks were particularly well–documented as far as incidents of their nature go, and are collectively known as the "Rotten Skirmishes". Roughly 1,500 people in total were killed across all six encounters, while approximately one hundred more deaths occurred later on from resultant cancer complications (see below) and yet another three hundred suffered non–fatally from complications of the same nature.
Arma–Throtten is a moderately gigantic (roughly twenty meters) floating entity distinctly resembling the upper half (or, more precisely, upper 40%) of a deformed human–like corpse/skeleton whose chest has been torn wide open and emptied of blood and most organs. Its heart and lungs, the only internal contents of said hollowed chest cavity, are both completely exposed and extremely malformed, and are among Arma–Throtten's most prominent and striking physical features. This Abomination, unlike most demonic and other supernatural creatures, is corporeal, its body made out of material that is identical in composition to tumorous and cancerous living tissue. Arma–Throtten is feral in nature, and is slightly below Hellbeast Kraetsher in terms of wanton hostility. It screams frequently (though not quite constantly) and seemingly at random in a manner suggestive of great pain, which it may very well live in considering both this and its extremely mangled appearance and shape.
Arma–Throtten's rotten flesh has a burning quality, and its touch and very presence bring about symptoms of disease and decay, having an overall effect on everything it comes into contact with similar to that of the artificial monstrosity known as Toxie
#6, whose creation the encounters with it precede by several centuries. The deceased victims of the Abomination were observed to reach severe states of decay very quickly in the aftermaths of its attacks, and many of those who came into contact with the monster and lived later developed moderate–to–severe cases of cancer in various organs (see numbers above). While its primary method of actively causing carnage is brute physical force, Arma–Throtten also possesses an apparently seldom–used "ultimate attack" consisting of shooting a stream of boiling black tar, presumably either produced within its lungs or materialized from thin air, from a large, gaping hole in its noticeably swollen throat. This ability was only known to be used during the monster's attack on Wegneheck (the first attack overall) and its second attack on Namyufefe (the fourth attack overall), and strangely made no appearance during the sixth and final overall encounter on Olymarchus, which lasted the longest and involved the most casualties out of all the Rotten Skirmishes. The durability value of Arma–Throtten has understandably never been measured, but for the Abomination to survive the attack that ultimately made it retreat, seemingly forever, while sustaining as little visible damage as it did, its level of resilience would have to be near or above the 100,000 mark.
Both of the Next Testament passages that mention Arma–Throtten are found in the same general section of the sacred volume, a section whose other passages mostly deal with Humanity's various sins and vices from throughout its time on Earth and do not mention any other demonic beings known to the Nava–Verse. Some have interpreted this peculiarity to suggest that the hideous and foul creature may have been born from the suffering and/or evil caused by some particularly virulent sinful habit.
