{{Etym|Abaddon}}
Abaddon is the Hebrew word for "destruction," and the name has many religious connotations. It is also one of the infernal names used in Satanism, hence why it is often an undead monster in-game and why [[Holy (Ability)|Holy]] and healing spells harm it so much. Abaddon was considered a lord of locusts, as well, and the monster's insectoid form references this.
