Aberration

Aberrations were a category of creatures consisting of alien or otherwise biologically aberrant beings. Aberrations did not originate in Exandria and some originated or were otherwise associated with the Far Realm.

In Tal'Dorei
In Tal'Dorei, aberrations were perceived as the vilest and most intelligent creatures of the monstrous races. Anyone who attempted diplomacy with any aberration tended to become food or their thrall, leading to them also being considered irredeemably evil. Aberrations, in turn, considered Exandria's creatures to be nothing more than food or potential property.

Aberration civilizations existed underground, such as in the Underdark. Prominent aberration civilizations include the mind flayer colony in Yug'Voril, beneath Kraghammer, and the aboleth brood in Salar, below Emon.

A magic item called the Aberration Bane Longsword was in possession by Vox Machina member Scanlan Shorthalt.

In Wildemount
The Mighty Nein, an adventuring party based in Wildemount, once found a Scroll of Protection set to protect against aberrations.

While in Eiselcross with the Tombtakers, Mighty Nein member Jester Lavorre mentioned to Lucien that, while he was Mollymauk Tealeaf, he once displayed food on his penis. Lucien jokingly claimed that it was instead an aberration that performed that action.
