Adds
Throughout the fight, and with any current vial, Maloriak tries to release the adds locked around the room.
These adds must be picked up by a tank and moved away from the boss; otherwise, they stack increased damage and reduced damage taken.
You can choose to let the cast go or interrupt it if you don't want to deal with the adds now.
You should let through 3 casts every cycle to get 9 aberrations per green vial, where the slime helps you to kill them.
