I did notice that the game gives you a warning that the eater is getting difficult to control when you feed it too quickly. Maybe this is a new feature though.

Yes I've seen those, but there's no warning before it reaches the final stage. A one turn or two turn warning would be nice so it could effectively be dropped further away from the provinces of its creator.

What is it's final stage? Is there a specific HP number? That would be nice.

With patience and proper protection you can have the creature reach its final stage... it takes time which is more like babysitting. It's final stage is unit_ID 997 "Unfettered" having 5 attacks yet it's main attack is still trampling. It's fear is 10... and HP vary depending on how much life its drained from the last battle.

Yet it only has 18 MG resistance so it's not very difficult to kill with spells. Also no protection from missile weapons by default so two independent commanders with ethereal crossbows could probably kill it without blinking.

I probably hasn't been updated because no one has mentioned that it's magic resistance is too weak. Increasing it's MR by one for every form after the first would give the Unfettered pretty good total mr.

Once it is fed well enough and has regeneration in the hundreds it may survive soul slay. It will have over 1000 hp. It would probably get killed by the swarms surrounding it, because it doesn't have much hp to spare, and it starts battles with less hp than it can regenerate up to, so it doesn't really change anything in this case.

The fact that it can be summoned as the small form is probably a bug. It shouldn't be summonable if any of the forms exists in the game.

Hmm, I wonder if it's CBM stats are better.

To get back to the original question... I like Abominations. They are kind of battle specific (not usable in every battle), but damn, they look cool. And I love it when they blink their eye.

I just checked, and the Eater gets +2 mr and +10 % regen per form, for a final 26 mr and 50% regen when it goes independent.

For fun and styleness: Troll Kings Court.
For just a medicore caster turn and some earth gems (okay, a lot of it) you get another medicore earth caster, who can take a few hits in combat and brings a gang of real heavy hitters!

Well, if I think about it again, trolls are all I need.
