Behavior and Deck
Mountain of Smiling Bodies will target its allies with Devour every Scene to recover HP, so that it can transform to the next Stage. Apart from serving as source of HP for the Mountain, the Melted Corpses use attacks that deal bonus Stagger damage, and their ability punishes any librarians that attack them (the ability does not trigger against the Mountain).
Mountain of Smiling Bodies starts the battle at Stage 2, accompanied by 4 Melted Corpses. While in Stage 2, it will have 1 Strength every Scene and use Horrid Screech every 2 Scenes. If it is able to fully recover its HP, it will transform to Stage 3 and all Melted Corpses will die. While in Stage 3, it will have 2 Strength and use Flop Down every Scene, and will use Vomit every 2 Scenes. Any time Mountain of Smiling Bodies transforms to Stage 1 or 2, it will spawn 4 Melted Corpses. These will replace any living Melted Corpses already present in the battle.

Trivia
- Mountain of Smiling Bodies appeared in the prequel game, Lobotomy Corporation, as an ALEPH Abnormality, with a similar appearance.
- Mountain of Smiling Bodies is the first Abnormality whose background has direct imagery of Lobotomy Corporation as opposed to being given its own original habitat. As each Abnormality's environment is built to simulate the best conditions for the Abnormalities, it can be inferred that Mountain of Smiling Bodies' ideal conditions are the same as its backstory, where piles of bodies that were neglected in a hallway of Lobotomy Corporation merged into a singular Abnormality.
- The other Abnormality with a similar environment is Nothing There, also born from the conditions of Lobotomy Corporation.
