Abnormalities (환상체, Hwansangche) are, as their name suggests, a type of abnormal entity that can be used to generate power. Each is given a classification via letters and numbers, as well as a nickname based on their appearances and abilities.

Lobotomy Corporation possesses a variety of Abnormalities, using them for study, power generation, and the harvest of E.G.O equipment. Each is ranked on a threat scale, and the ways they can harm humans are summarized into color-based types. They are the 'Main/Recurrent Enemies' of the game, as well as one of the main features. All of the Abnormalities are different and each poses a different threat in-game.

There are also entities called Ordeals, which are similar in nature to Abnormalities, but cannot be contained. These creatures randomly appear in-game during certain Qliphoth Meltdown events.

Contents

Overview

Before Lobotomy Corporation discovered Cogito and began mass-producing Abnormalities, these kinds of entities were one of the numerous types of ‘monsters’ (괴물, goemul) native to the Outskirts and Ruins—the wastelands beyond the safety of the City.

Abnormalities of ascending Risk Levels.

Being cognitive beings made manifest into the current reality, Abnormalities are entities representing various concepts born from the human mind. Ranging from human fears, complexes, and desires, these phantoms can be considered a different form of humanity and an existence considered as “human” as mankind itself.

Each ‘species’ of Abnormality possesses a unique physiology and appearance, ranging from inanimate objects to humanoid beings; some Abnormalities even lack a physical form entirely and exist as an intangible phenomena themselves. Given the fact that they are human fantasies made real, Abnormalities don’t abide by the conventional laws of physics, nor possess functional anatomy analogous to those of normal living organisms—regardless of outward appearance, they all possess a will and desires of their own. Because of the basis of their existence, every Abnormality is immortal, and will come back from any and every wound—no matter how many times they're smashed, split, strewn apart, and suppressed.

Behavior

Among the more intelligent ones, communication is possible with some Abnormalities, but interaction inherently poses danger due to their volatile personalities and abilities. Abnormalities typically possess an orange-and-blue morality, with their values being centered on the concept they embody. Due to the strange strands of logic that Abnormalities fundamentally follow—along with their dangerous, anomalous capabilities—this renders conventional reason and judgement irrelevant and brings great risk of death to those encountering them.

It is also due to these factors that it makes forming a genuine relationship with an Abnormality essentially impossible, with connections between these entities and their handlers only possible through a thorough understanding of that Abnormality and by entertaining its innate desires. Still, any degree of bond a human may form with an Abnormality will not stop the entity from killing the former if the human in question missteps and offends and/or loses themselves to the desires of the Abnormality. Repeatedly killing humans is not a strange occurrence for these monsters, as their psychology and mentality remain immutably constant, as Abnormalities are abstract concepts and ideas made manifest. Thus, they will perpetuate the same behaviors over and over for the rest of their existence and will naturally forget or ignore anything that happens in the past in favor of their current behavior, incapable of even acting in any manner unrelated to their embodied concept.

Because of this, and the fact that Abnormalities are immortal beings that can never die, there is no point in resenting or hating them. They can never be permanently destroyed, so upon breaching containment and running amok, suppressing the Abnormality and re-containing it is the only option one is left with.

Pairs and ‘Families’

Certain Abnormalities can form sorts of pairs as well, due to embodying concepts or themes interconnected to one another; pairings like these vary from Symbiotic (such as Yin and Yang) to Hostile (such as Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary and Big and Will be Bad Wolf) and will usually cause havoc to the facility when interacting with one another.

There also exists ‘families’ of Abnormalities, in which all embody concepts that share a common theme, grouping them together as an interconnected series.

With these ‘families’ of 3 or more Abnormalities, it is not unusual for them to attempt to merge together or summon a greater threat—such as an ALEPH-class Abnormality—which will endanger and potentially destroy the entire facility they inhabit. It is due to the disastrous consequences of housing an entire set of closely related Abnormalities that facilities usually limit the number of these pairings and groups, either by placing their Containment Units far apart or splitting them across different branch facilities.

Origin

Spoiler Warning!

This section contains spoilers related to the story of Lobotomy Corporation. Read ahead with caution if you wish to experience the story for yourself.

Story Mode Spoilers!







Enkephalin

Lobotomy Corporation had the unique ability to produce \"Enkephalin\" (엔케팔린, Enkepallin), a substance extracted from Abnormalities whenever they feel satisfied. Enkephalin was typically manufactured by isolating Abnormalities into Containment Units and providing stimulation through interactions such as play, conversation, or violence. The refined version of the substance appears as a green liquid kept in PE-Boxes, but Enkephalin can be kept in a gaseous form depending on the extraction method.

PE-Boxes, the most popular container for Enkaphalin.

Strictly purified Enkephalin possesses a psychotherapeutic effect on those that consume or are exposed to it, thus it can be used as a recreational drug in addition to its energy production. Due to its soothing nature, Enkephalin is regularly administered towards L Corp. employees to subdue their mental stress, ranging from standard liquid doses, to even Enkephalin gas—which fills the departments throughout the facilities. The SP-E Bullets (SP-E 탄환, SP-E Tanhwan) made available to the manager to restore the sanity of Agents were developed through the use of Enkephalin’s therapeutic uses as well.

Because Enkephalin was highly valuable as an efficient fuel source and was advertised as an eco-friendly form of energy, L Corp’s status as a Wing was elevated far above its peers and cemented the megacorp as a major power within the City.

E.G.O

The E.G.O Equipment given to employees are weapons and suits extracted from Abnormalities' beings, appearing in various forms. E.G.O (or Extermination of Geometrical Organ) is in itself the archetype of an Abnormality, drawn out and compressed into equipment form. It is said that the moment someone equips E.G.O, they'll instantly know how to properly wield it, regardless of fighting background. As this type of equipment is essentially independently functioning archetypes of an Abnormality, it is no mistake to say that Agents wield the same kind of power and danger that Abnormalities possess. All E.G.O Equipment produced and distributed towards L Corp’s employees are extracted by the Extraction Team under the Lobotomy Corporation Headquarters.

E.G.O Corrosion

Due to their nature of essentially being Abnormalities stabilized into suits and weapons, those with weak minds and wills will risk having their egos consumed by E.G.O Equipment beyond their capabilities. Thus L Corp. only assigns E.G.O towards employees with appropriate levels of Fortitude, Prudence, Temperance, and/or Justice to avoid such risks.

When a human equips E.G.O they are not mentally prepared to wield, the Abnormality within the equipment will one-sidedly whisper into the mind of the user until it eventually takes over their mind. This process is known as E.G.O Corrosion (E.G.O 침식, E.G.O Chimsik), where the Abnormality’s personality gradually overrides the wearer like a ‘shell’ until the equipment in question completely overtakes them, physically transforming the wielder into a monster acting as another instance of the original Abnormality, albeit slayable.

E.G.O Gifts

Apart from direct extraction methods, Abnormalities can also provide trinkets or even their own body parts to employees they fancy. These presents are collectively known as E.G.O Gifts (E.G.O 기프트, E.G.O Gipeuteu), and will either permanently integrate into the employee’s anatomy or form an attachment with the Agent that makes them reluctant to cast the gift off. Though E.G.O Gifts are of a lesser degree than regular E.G.O Equipment, they are still a part of the egos of the Abnormalities they originated from, and carry the same risk of mental deterioration if too many Gifts are taken by an Agent.

Related Entities

Monsters

Initially, Abnormalities were discovered as a general type of monster (괴물, goemul) that could be found in either the Outskirts or the Ruins. While Abnormalities can generally be considered monsters, the word 'monster' is used as an umbrella term for many different kinds of entities distinct from Abnormalities (i.e., the Mermaids and Whales found in the Great Lake).

Ordeals

Ordeals (시련, siryeon) are created as a byproduct from the extractions and Negative Enkephalin produced by the Abnormalities within the Lobotomy Corporation Headquarters.

Ordeals, like Abnormalities, are beings that can represent past traumas and any conceptual idea imaginable, embodying any possibility from the past, present, and future. Aimlessly wandering around the facility as intangible phenomena, Ordeals will resonate with the Abnormalities and manifest physical form. Thus, these threats are out of the hands of the Extraction Team and wreak havoc across the facility almost uncontrollably, if not for them being incapacitated by Qliphoth Deterrence in the way Abnormalities are.

Gameplay

The Abnormalities possess different aspects in-game, from information to effects. This section will explain the basics of them and most features that the Abnormalities share.

Containment: Abnormalities are contained in 'Containment Units', zones where they reside at the start of the day in passive states. The Containment Units are all the same. The Abnormalities contained are divided into the different departments available, usually housing 4 to 8 Abnormalities per Department in their units. At the start of most days, the player must choose one Abnormality to add to their facility, usually from a selection of 3.

The Containment Units display the name of the Abnormality and the Qliphoth Counter (initially \"?\") at the top, their Risk Level (If unlocked) and amount of PE-Boxes collected at the top left, and at the left side a bar that fills when work is performed, displaying the amount of PE and NE-Boxes produced. At the middle is the Abnormality, to which player can assign works by clicking on the room.

Works and Interactions: The main interaction with the Abnormalities are by sending Agents to their Containment Units to perform one of the four works available: Instinct, Insight, Attachment, and Repression. Depending on the work preference and other stats, the Abnormality will produce an amount of E-Boxes. PE-Boxes are positive energy that will be collected at the end of the task and added to the Energy Quota, while NE-Boxes are negative energy that is discarded as a 'fail work', which will also damage the employee working with the Abnormality.

Encyclopedia/Information Section: Any PE-Boxes collected at the end of the task will also be added to the respective to be used as 'points' to unlock information about that Abnormality and its equipment. The PE-Boxes of the Abnormality are saved permanently over days and new games, as well any information unlocked. New Abnormalities don't possess any information unlocked and only their Subject Number will be displayed for their name. To access their Information Tab, the player must click on the name of the Abnormality while in the Management Phase or their portrait while in the Deployment Phase.

There are 4 sections of information, each one unlockable by spending PE-Boxes. Depending of the Risk Level, the cost of the sections will change. The sections are:

Observation Levels: When unlocking completely one of the sections, it will grant an Observation Level, up to 4 levels. Each level can grant an increase of Success Rate/Chance or Work Speed, depending of the Abnormality. Unlocking Observation Levels also add Entries to the Abnormality's Story, which can be access at the top left of the information tab of the Abnormality. The Story Tab cover entries about descriptions, explanation of effects, related events, interviews and other information linked to said Abnormality.

E.G.O Equipment: The E.G.O Equipment is unlocked along, but not limited to, the Observation Levels of the Abnormality. There are 3 types of E.G.O Equipment: Weapon, Suit and Gift. The equipment needs PE-Boxes as a cost to be manufactured once unlocked, which then later can be equipped by Agents during the Deployment Phase to fight off and resist more bigger threats.

Weapons change the Damage Type and value that an Agent deals, as well the Range and Firing Speed. Suits change the defenses of the Agent against the Damage Type that they receive. Multiple Gifts can be equipped by a single Agent, as long as they don't occupy the same slot. They can change an Agent's stats, giving a slight buff or adding extra effects in certain conditions. These aren't manufactured but given randomly (chances range from 1% to 5%) by the Abnormalities when finishing work.

Qliphoth Counter and Anomalous Effects: Abnormalities are entities that possess unusual abilities that can harm or benefit employees and/or the facility. This vary from simple Healing to breaching containment. A way to measure the triggering of a effect is via their Qliphoth Counter, which, when reaching a number (usually 0), will trigger its ability. Most abilities will include the Abnormality breaching the Containment Unit. However, not all the Abnormalities use the Qliphoth Counter to use their abilities. Unused Qliphoth Counters are marked with a 'X' instead of a number.

Abilities may also be triggered by Work Results, PE-Boxes collected, Stat Levels and work performed. Breaching Abnormalities need to be suppressed to be returned to their Containment Units. If neglected, they can cause major harm in the facility or lessen the amount LOB Points earned when ending the day.

Tool Abnormalities

Tool Abnormalities are another type of Abnormality that are used. These Tools, unlike other Abnormalities, are added to the facility every fourth day of each six day cycle. The Tools don't possess work preferences but instead have a single work to use them. In most Tool's subject numbers, their type is 09 (With one being 07). Tools give positive effects, like healing, energy production or Stat boost, among others, often for a cost.

They are divided into 3 types:

Single Use Tools: Tools that give a single and instant effect upon being worked with an Agent. These Tools have a 'Number of Uses' to unlock their information.

Channeled Use Tools: Tools that have a constant work use that can be cancelled when ordered again. These Tools have a 'Time of Use' to unlock their information.

Equippable Tools: Tools that an Agent equips upon use. When equipped, they grant their effects to the Agent. To return one of these Tools, simply click on the Tool's Containment Unit. Agents can only equip 1 Tool at a time. If the Agent equipped with a Tool dies, it will be returned to the Containment Unit. They are also returned at the end of the day.

Depending on their type, their Observation Level and the way to get information about them is different. The main information unlocks its name, portrait, subject number and tool type. Logs unlocks entries and story related information and the Methods unlocks information about the Abnormality, like its effects and ways to use it.

Classification Code

Each Abnormality is given a classification code following a Letter-XX-YY format:

The first letter denotes the source category of an Abnormality's origin. Among the designations shown below are F, T, and O, which were revealed in the Lobotomy Corporation Artbook[1], and M, which appears in Limbus Company but has not yet been explained:

The second number's purpose is currently unclear.

The third number acts as a unique code for the Abnormality, which doesn't repeat between Abnormalities, and the last letter (Only for Legacy) is for the risk level classification (Z for ZAYIN, T for TETH, and so on). In effect, a player knowing this, especially the third number, can get a huge jumpstart on information about the Abnormality.

Codex

The Codex, also known as The Abnormality Encyclopedia, is a mechanic that allows players to view their collection of Abnormality Details. It can be accessed on the main menu via the lower right corner (before story completion) or top right corner (after story completion). The Codex starts out with no Abnormalities within and 0% Abnormality Dissolution but will grow as the player fully researches Abnormalities.

Abnormality Dissolution

The Abnormality Dissolution is the percentage of fully researched Abnormalities within the codex. The percentage excludes Backer Abnormalities, Don't Touch Me, Plague Doctor, and Apocalypse Bird, leaving only 74 Abnormalities required for complete codex.

Trivia

Etymology

An ‘abnormality’ refers to an abnormal trait or occurrence; the term is usually used in a medical context.

“Abnormality” was a machine translated result of the Korean name for the entities, ‘Hwansangche’ (Hangul: 환상체; Hanja: 幻想體); a remnant of the poor translation work done by the first English translation team that scammed Project Moon during the early days of Lobotomy Corporation's development. While not wholly accurate, the name stuck—being used by the non-English parts of the fandoms due to the early translations; “Abnormality” continues to see use in future works within the franchise.

Derived from ‘hwansang’ (환상, 幻想), meaning illusion or fantasy; the suffix -‘che’ (체, 體) implies the former to be a physical entity. Their names would’ve formed wordplay around “fantasy”, as exemplified with Adam’s monologue on Day 49 as seen below. If Abnormalities could have been given a more accurate localization, a title such as ‘fantasm’ or ‘fantoms’ would’ve been appropriate paronomasia.

Story Mode Spoilers!

In early versions of the Japanese translation, as a result of the sloppy translation work, the English name, ‘Abnormality’, was directly transcribed as ‘Abunōmaritī’ (アブノーマリティー), rather than properly transcribing the Korean name ‘Hwansangche’ (환상체). This transcription is retained even in the current version of the Japanese translation of Lobotomy Corporation.

While the issue was alleviated with Library of Ruina and later installments of the franchise, with Abnormalities being referred to as ‘Gensōtai’ (幻想体, げんそうたい), the JP fandom still habitually refer Abnormalities as ‘Abunōmariti’ (アブノーマリティ).

Each is given a classification via letters and numbers, as well as a nickname based on their appearances and abilities.\n\nLobotomy Corporation possesses a variety of Abnormalities, using them for study, power generation, and the harvest of E.G.O equipment. Each is ranked on a threat scale, and the ways they can harm humans are summarized into color-based types. They are the 'Main/Recurrent Enemies' of the game, as well as one of the main features. All of the Abnormalities are different and each poses a different threat in-game.\n\nThere are also entities called Ordeals, which are similar in nature to Abnormalities, but cannot be contained. These creatures randomly appear in-game during certain QliphothMeltdownIcon.png Qliphoth Meltdown events.\n\n\nContents\n1 Overview\n2 Behavior\n2.1 Pairs and ‘Families’\n3 Origin\n3.1 The River\n3.2 The Bucket\n3.3 Extraction process\n3.3.1 Employee protocol\n4 Enkephalin\n5 E.G.O\n5.1 E.G.O Corrosion\n5.2 E.G.O Gifts\n6 Related Entities\n6.1 Monsters\n6.2 Ordeals\n7 Gameplay\n8 Tool Abnormalities\n9 Classification Code\n10 Codex\n10.1 Abnormality Dissolution\n11 Trivia\n11.1 Etymology\n11.1.1 Adam, Day 49\n12 External Links\n12.1 Project Moon Universe\n12.2 Foreign language wikis\n13 Navigation\nOverview\nBefore Lobotomy Corporation discovered Cogito and began mass-producing Abnormalities, these kinds of entities were one of the numerous types of ‘monsters’ (괴물, goemul) native to the Outskirts and Ruins—the wastelands beyond the safety of the City.\n\n\nAbnormalities of ascending Risk Levels.\nBeing cognitive beings made manifest into the current reality, Abnormalities are entities representing various concepts born from the human mind. Ranging from human fears, complexes, and desires, these phantoms can be considered a different form of humanity and an existence considered as “human” as mankind itself.\n\nEach ‘species’ of Abnormality possesses a unique physiology and appearance, ranging from inanimate objects to humanoid beings; some Abnormalities even lack a physical form entirely and exist as an intangible phenomena themselves. Given the fact that they are human fantasies made real, Abnormalities don’t abide by the conventional laws of physics, nor possess functional anatomy analogous to those of normal living organisms—regardless of outward appearance, they all possess a will and desires of their own. Because of the basis of their existence, every Abnormality is immortal, and will come back from any and every wound—no matter how many times they're smashed, split, strewn apart, and suppressed.\n\nBehavior\nAmong the more intelligent ones, communication is possible with some Abnormalities, but interaction inherently poses danger due to their volatile personalities and abilities. Abnormalities typically possess an orange-and-blue morality, with their values being centered on the concept they embody. Due to the strange strands of logic that Abnormalities fundamentally follow—along with their dangerous, anomalous capabilities—this renders conventional reason and judgement irrelevant and brings great risk of death to those encountering them.\n\nIt is also due to these factors that it makes forming a genuine relationship with an Abnormality essentially impossible, with connections between these entities and their handlers only possible through a thorough understanding of that Abnormality and by entertaining its innate desires. Still, any degree of bond a human may form with an Abnormality will not stop the entity from killing the former if the human in question missteps and offends and/or loses themselves to the desires of the Abnormality. Repeatedly killing humans is not a strange occurrence for these monsters, as their psychology and mentality remain immutably constant, as Abnormalities are abstract concepts and ideas made manifest. Thus, they will perpetuate the same behaviors over and over for the rest of their existence and will naturally forget or ignore anything that happens in the past in favor of their current behavior, incapable of even acting in any manner unrelated to their embodied concept.\n\nBecause of this, and the fact that Abnormalities are immortal beings that can never die, there is no point in resenting or hating them. They can never be permanently destroyed, so upon breaching containment and running amok, suppressing the Abnormality and re-containing it is the only option one is left with.\n\nPairs and ‘Families’\n\nLittle Red Riding Hooded Mercenary and Big and Will be Bad Wolf fighting it out.\nCertain Abnormalities can form sorts of pairs as well, due to embodying concepts or themes interconnected to one another; pairings like these vary from Symbiotic (such as Yin and Yang) to Hostile (such as Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary and Big and Will be Bad Wolf) and will usually cause havoc to the facility when interacting with one another.\n\nThere also exists ‘families’ of Abnormalities, in which all embody concepts that share a common theme, grouping them together as an interconnected series.\n\nWith these ‘families’ of 3 or more Abnormalities, it is not unusual for them to attempt to merge together or summon a greater threat—such as an ALEPH-class Abnormality—which will endanger and potentially destroy the entire facility they inhabit. It is due to the disastrous consequences of housing an entire set of closely related Abnormalities that facilities usually limit the number of these pairings and groups, either by placing their Containment Units far apart or splitting them across different branch facilities.\n\nOrigin\nSpoiler Warning!\nLobotomy Corporation Sephira 001.png This section contains spoilers related to the story of Lobotomy Corporation. Read ahead with caution if you wish to experience the story for yourself.\nStory Mode Spoilers!\nEnkephalin\nLobotomy Corporation had the unique ability to produce \"Enkephalin\" (엔케팔린, Enkepallin), a substance extracted from Abnormalities whenever they feel satisfied. Enkephalin was typically manufactured by isolating Abnormalities into Containment Units and providing stimulation through interactions such as play, conversation, or violence. The refined version of the substance appears as a green liquid kept in EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes, but Enkephalin can be kept in a gaseous form depending on the extraction method.\n\n\nPE-Boxes, the most popular container for Enkaphalin.\nStrictly purified Enkephalin possesses a psychotherapeutic effect on those that consume or are exposed to it, thus it can be used as a recreational drug in addition to its energy production. Due to its soothing nature, Enkephalin is regularly administered towards L Corp. employees to subdue their mental stress, ranging from standard liquid doses, to even Enkephalin gas—which fills the departments throughout the facilities. The SP-E Bullets (SP-E 탄환, SP-E Tanhwan) made available to the manager to restore the sanity of Agents were developed through the use of Enkephalin’s therapeutic uses as well.\n\nBecause Enkephalin was highly valuable as an efficient fuel source and was advertised as an eco-friendly form of energy, L Corp’s status as a Wing was elevated far above its peers and cemented the megacorp as a major power within the City.\n\nE.G.O\nThe E.G.O Equipment given to employees are weapons and suits extracted from Abnormalities' beings, appearing in various forms. E.G.O (or Extermination of Geometrical Organ) is in itself the archetype of an Abnormality, drawn out and compressed into equipment form. It is said that the moment someone equips E.G.O, they'll instantly know how to properly wield it, regardless of fighting background. As this type of equipment is essentially independently functioning archetypes of an Abnormality, it is no mistake to say that Agents wield the same kind of power and danger that Abnormalities possess. All E.G.O Equipment produced and distributed towards L Corp’s employees are extracted by the Extraction Team under the Lobotomy Corporation Headquarters.\n\nE.G.O Corrosion\nDue to their nature of essentially being Abnormalities stabilized into suits and weapons, those with weak minds and wills will risk having their egos consumed by E.G.O Equipment beyond their capabilities. Thus L Corp. only assigns E.G.O towards employees with appropriate levels of Fortitude, Prudence, Temperance, and/or Justice to avoid such risks.\n\nWhen a human equips E.G.O they are not mentally prepared to wield, the Abnormality within the equipment will one-sidedly whisper into the mind of the user until it eventually takes over their mind. This process is known as E.G.O Corrosion (E.G.O 침식, E.G.O Chimsik), where the Abnormality’s personality gradually overrides the wearer like a ‘shell’ until the equipment in question completely overtakes them, physically transforming the wielder into a monster acting as another instance of the original Abnormality, albeit slayable.\n\nE.G.O Gifts\nApart from direct extraction methods, Abnormalities can also provide trinkets or even their own body parts to employees they fancy. These presents are collectively known as E.G.O Gifts (E.G.O 기프트, E.G.O Gipeuteu), and will either permanently integrate into the employee’s anatomy or form an attachment with the Agent that makes them reluctant to cast the gift off. Though E.G.O Gifts are of a lesser degree than regular E.G.O Equipment, they are still a part of the egos of the Abnormalities they originated from, and carry the same risk of mental deterioration if too many Gifts are taken by an Agent.\n\nRelated Entities\nMonsters\nInitially, Abnormalities were discovered as a general type of monster (괴물, goemul) that could be found in either the Outskirts or the Ruins. While Abnormalities can generally be considered monsters, the word 'monster' is used as an umbrella term for many different kinds of entities distinct from Abnormalities (i.e., the Mermaids and Whales found in the Great Lake).\n\nOrdeals\nOrdeals (시련, siryeon) are created as a byproduct from the extractions and Negative Enkephalin produced by the Abnormalities within the Lobotomy Corporation Headquarters.\n\nOrdeals, like Abnormalities, are beings that can represent past traumas and any conceptual idea imaginable, embodying any possibility from the past, present, and future. Aimlessly wandering around the facility as intangible phenomena, Ordeals will resonate with the Abnormalities and manifest physical form. Thus, these threats are out of the hands of the Extraction Team and wreak havoc across the facility almost uncontrollably, if not for them being incapacitated by Qliphoth Deterrence in the way Abnormalities are.\n\nGameplay\nThe Abnormalities possess different aspects in-game, from information to effects. This section will explain the basics of them and most features that the Abnormalities share.\n\nContainment: Abnormalities are contained in 'Containment Units', zones where they reside at the start of the day in passive states. The Containment Units are all the same. The Abnormalities contained are divided into the different departments available, usually housing 4 to 8 Abnormalities per Department in their units. At the start of most days, the player must choose one Abnormality to add to their facility, usually from a selection of 3.\n\nThe Containment Units display the name of the Abnormality and the QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter (initially \"?\") at the top, their Risk Level (If unlocked) and amount of EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes collected at the top left, and at the left side a bar that fills when work is performed, displaying the amount of PE and NE-Boxes produced. At the middle is the Abnormality, to which player can assign works by clicking on the room.\n\nWorks and Interactions: The main interaction with the Abnormalities are by sending Agents to their Containment Units to perform one of the four works available: Instinct.png Instinct, Insight.png Insight, Attachment.png Attachment, and Repression.png Repression. Depending on the work preference and other stats, the Abnormality will produce an amount of EBoxIcon.png E-Boxes. PE-Boxes are positive energy that will be collected at the end of the task and added to the Energy Quota, while NE-Boxes are negative energy that is discarded as a 'fail work', which will also damage the employee working with the Abnormality.\n\nEncyclopedia/Information Section: Any EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes collected at the end of the task will also be added to the respective to be used as 'points' to unlock information about that Abnormality and its equipment. The EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes of the Abnormality are saved permanently over days and new games, as well any information unlocked. New Abnormalities don't possess any information unlocked and only their Subject Number will be displayed for their name. To access their Information Tab, the player must click on the name of the Abnormality while in the Management Phase or their portrait while in the Deployment Phase.\n\nThere are 4 sections of information, each one unlockable by spending EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes. Depending of the Risk Level, the cost of the sections will change. The sections are:\n\nBasic Information: Unlock the basic info of the Abnormality, including Name, Portrait, Subject Number, Risk Level, PE-Boxes, Range of Mental Results, Attack Damage and Damage Type. It will change the current name of the Abnormality's Containment Unit and display its QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter, if it has any (Otherwise, shown with an 'X').\nManagerial Works: Helpful notes that inform about the effects and 'rules' to handle the Abnormality. This can be information about the QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter, work preferences, harmful effects, breaching abilities and others. There can be multiple Managerial Works to unlock, each one displaying different information of the Abnormality.\nWork Preferences/Favor: A list of 4 minor sections that unlock the overall preferences of the respective work, showing the WorkSuccessIcon.png Success Rate for the each 5 level of that work, depending on the stat level of the employee performing that work. When selecting an employee to perform a work on an Abnormality, the overall WorkSuccessIcon.png Success Rate of the work will be shown as: Very Low, Low, Common, High or Very High. If the Work Favor of the respective work is not yet unlocked, the WorkSuccessIcon.png Success Rate will remain hidden and classified as 'Unknown.'\nEscape Information: Display the QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter, its initial count or with an 'X' if not using it; and the defenses of the Abnormality if it's able to breach, escaping from their containment and needed to be re-contained by 'Suppression Work', sending employees to attack the Abnormality until its HPIcon.png HP drops to 0. The defenses show their vulnerability against the 4 types of damage: RedDamageTypeIcon.png Red, WhiteDamageTypeIcon.png White, BlackDamageTypeIcon.png Black and PaleDamageTypeIcon.png Pale.\nObservation Levels: When unlocking completely one of the sections, it will grant an Observation Level, up to 4 levels. Each level can grant an increase of WorkSuccessIcon.png Success Rate/Chance or WorkSpeedIcon.png Work Speed, depending of the Abnormality. Unlocking Observation Levels also add Entries to the Abnormality's Story, which can be access at the top left of the information tab of the Abnormality. The Story Tab cover entries about descriptions, explanation of effects, related events, interviews and other information linked to said Abnormality.\n\nE.G.O Equipment: The E.G.O Equipment is unlocked along, but not limited to, the Observation Levels of the Abnormality. There are 3 types of E.G.O Equipment: Weapon, Suit and Gift. The equipment needs EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes as a cost to be manufactured once unlocked, which then later can be equipped by Agents during the Deployment Phase to fight off and resist more bigger threats.\n\nWeapons change the Damage Type and value that an Agent deals, as well the Range and Firing Speed. Suits change the defenses of the Agent against the Damage Type that they receive. Multiple Gifts can be equipped by a single Agent, as long as they don't occupy the same slot. They can change an Agent's stats, giving a slight buff or adding extra effects in certain conditions. These aren't manufactured but given randomly (chances range from 1% to 5%) by the Abnormalities when finishing work.\n\nQliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter and Anomalous Effects: Abnormalities are entities that possess unusual abilities that can harm or benefit employees and/or the facility. This vary from simple HPHealing.pngSPHealing.png Healing to breaching containment. A way to measure the triggering of a effect is via their QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter, which, when reaching a number (usually 0), will trigger its ability. Most abilities will include the Abnormality breaching the Containment Unit. However, not all the Abnormalities use the QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter to use their abilities. Unused QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counters are marked with a 'X' instead of a number.\n\nAbilities may also be triggered by GoodResult.png Work Results, EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes collected, FortitudeIcon.png Stat Levels and work performed. Breaching Abnormalities need to be suppressed to be returned to their Containment Units. If neglected, they can cause major harm in the facility or lessen the amount LOB Points earned when ending the day.\n\nTool Abnormalities\nTool Abnormalities are another type of Abnormality that are used. These Tools, unlike other Abnormalities, are added to the facility every fourth day of each six day cycle. The Tools don't possess work preferences but instead have a single work to use them. In most Tool's subject numbers, their type is 09 (With one being 07). Tools give positive effects, like HPHealing.pngSPHealing.png healing, EBoxIcon.png energy production or FortitudeIcon.png Stat boost, among others, often for a cost.\n\nThey are divided into 3 types:\n\nSingle Use Tools: Tools that give a single and instant effect upon being worked with an Agent. These Tools have a 'Number of Uses' to unlock their information.\n\nChanneled Use Tools: Tools that have a constant work use that can be cancelled when ordered again. These Tools have a 'Time of Use' to unlock their information.\n\nEquippable Tools: Tools that an Agent equips upon use. When equipped, they grant their effects to the Agent. To return one of these Tools, simply click on the Tool's Containment Unit. Agents can only equip 1 Tool at a time. If the Agent equipped with a Tool dies, it will be returned to the Containment Unit. They are also returned at the end of the day.\n\nDepending on their type, their Observation Level and the way to get information about them is different. The main information unlocks its name, portrait, subject number and tool type. Logs unlocks entries and story related information and the Methods unlocks information about the Abnormality, like its effects and ways to use it.\n\nClassification Code\nEach Abnormality is given a classification code following a Letter-XX-YY format:\n\nThe first letter denotes the source category of an Abnormality's origin. Among the designations shown below are F, T, and O, which were revealed in the Lobotomy Corporation Artbook[1], and M, which appears in Limbus Company but has not yet been explained:\n\nF: Fairytale\n\"Forgotten tales, Folklore, Oral tradition, Legends\"\nT: Trauma\n\"Intense personal experience, Horrific fear, Emotions\"\nO: Original\n\"Beyond the boundaries between the River and the Ocean, Unknown causes, Natural occurrences, Manufactured, the Well\"\nThe catch-all categorization for any Abnormality that doesn't neatly fit into the previous classifications.\nD: Donation\nAbnormalities created by the Tumblbug backers that crowdfunded the Lobotomy Corporation kickstarter from before the official release of the game.\nDonor Abnormalities are given unique, rounded extraction boxes to differentiate them from regular Abnormalities with square boxes on the selection menu.\nThese types of Abnormalities are not required for 100% completion of the game and do not contribute in obtaining the True Ending of the game.\nCan be turned off from appearing in the Abnormality selection pool in the settings.\nM: Unknown - possibly 'Mythical'\nDoes not appear in Lobotomy Corporation, but several Abnormalities with the 'M' classification appear in Limbus Company, including My Form Empties, Brazen Bull, and Doomsday Calendar.\nAll three of these Abnormalities are associated with objects from or are representative of mythology, which is where the speculation that M stands for Mythical stems from.\nThe second number's purpose is currently unclear.\n\nThe third number acts as a unique code for the Abnormality, which doesn't repeat between Abnormalities, and the last letter (Only for Legacy) is for the risk level classification (Z for Risk Zayin.png ZAYIN, T for Risk Teth.png TETH, and so on). In effect, a player knowing this, especially the third number, can get a huge jumpstart on information about the Abnormality.\n\nPresumably, the third designation represents the order the Abnormalities were extracted in (i.e., implying F-01-02, Scorched Girl, was the second type of Abnormality to have been extracted, for example).\nCodex\nThe Codex, also known as The Abnormality Encyclopedia, is a mechanic that allows players to view their collection of Abnormality Details. It can be accessed on the main menu via the lower right corner (before story completion) or top right corner (after story completion). The Codex starts out with no Abnormalities within and 0% Abnormality Dissolution but will grow as the player fully researches Abnormalities.\n\nAbnormality Dissolution\nThe Abnormality Dissolution is the percentage of fully researched Abnormalities within the codex. The percentage excludes Backer Abnormalities, Don't Touch Me, Plague Doctor, and Apocalypse Bird, leaving only 74 Abnormalities required for complete codex.\n\nTrivia\nEtymology\nAn ‘abnormality’ refers to an abnormal trait or occurrence; the term is usually used in a medical context.\n\n“Abnormality” was a machine translated result of the Korean name for the entities, ‘Hwansangche’ (Hangul: 환상체; Hanja: 幻想體); a remnant of the poor translation work done by the first English translation team that scammed Project Moon during the early days of Lobotomy Corporation's development. While not wholly accurate, the name stuck—being used by the non-English parts of the fandoms due to the early translations; “Abnormality” continues to see use in future works within the franchise.\n\nDerived from ‘hwansang’ (환상, 幻想), meaning illusion or fantasy; the suffix -‘che’ (체, 體) implies the former to be a physical entity. Their names would’ve formed wordplay around “fantasy”, as exemplified with Adam’s monologue on Day 49 as seen below. If Abnormalities could have been given a more accurate localization, a title such as ‘fantasm’ or ‘fantoms’ would’ve been appropriate paronomasia.\n\nStory Mode Spoilers!\nIn early versions of the Japanese translation, as a result of the sloppy translation work, the English name, ‘Abnormality’, was directly transcribed as ‘Abunōmaritī’ (アブノーマリティー), rather than properly transcribing the Korean name ‘Hwansangche’ (환상체). This transcription is retained even in the current version of the Japanese translation of Lobotomy Corporation.\n\nWhile the issue was alleviated with Library of Ruina and later installments of the franchise, with Abnormalities being referred to as ‘Gensōtai’ (幻想体, げんそうたい), the JP fandom still habitually refer Abnormalities as ‘Abunōmariti’ (アブノーマリティ).\n\nThey are notably similar to, and inspired by, the various Special Containment Procedure objects from the SCP Foundation.\nPoor Screenwriter's Note, Hammer of Light and Price of Silence are Legacy Abnormalities that weren't brought back into the new version.\nEach of the damage types is the same color of one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.\nRedDamageTypeIcon.png RED for the red horse of War.\nWhiteDamageTypeIcon.png WHITE for the white horse of Conquest.\nBlackDamageTypeIcon.png BLACK for the black horse of Famine.\nPaleDamageTypeIcon.png PALE for the pale horse of Death.\nThe Lobotomy Corporation artbook details most of the non-donator Abnormalities' designs and unlockable stories from the game, as well as in-development designs and other unused or beta designs. The format of the artbook is also based on a paper manual intended for the manager, with the front cover stating \"Manual of Lobotomy Corporation.\" The back of the artbook also bears the unique classification code \"O-09-05.\"","extensions":{"cardex":{"origins":[{"created":"2026-06-07T22:00:19Z","current":true,"first_seen":"2026-11-09T17:31:36Z","id":"3a36d9cd-3b0b-4228-9ba3-46bdee0fc780","source":"janitorai","url":"https://janitorai.com/characters/3a36d9cd-3b0b-4228-9ba3-46bdee0fc780"}],"url":"https://cardex.zip/janitorai/3a36d9cd-3b0b-4228-9ba3-46bdee0fc780","version":1}},"first_mes":"","mes_example":"","name":"Abnormalities","personality":"","post_history_instructions":"","scenario":"","system_prompt":"","tags":["lobotomycorporation","lobcorp","abnormalities"]},"spec":"chara_card_v2","spec_version":"2.0"}
