The Accelerated Transgenic Heuristic Abhorers were savant abominations created by the techno-lords of the Arkanian Dominion as a response to the Assimilators, the self-repairing cyborgs of the Arkanian Renegades. Synthesized to seek in lust and destroy with relish, they were created by splicing the genetic sequences of their Arkanian creators with those of Yaka, degenerate Rakghouls, Amorphiians, dianogas, and other dangerous species. They were capable of digesting even reputedly indestructible materials, including diamond alloys, to chyme. The being that came to be known as Zeta Magnus was the prime specimen of those Abhorers.
