Puppet Dead
They staggered towards us, as if something pulled at their limbs and forced them forward. Vacant faces, unwilling and stiff limbsThe Puppet Dead are corpses reanimated by the Hungry Dark to serve as shock-troops and weapons, able to go into the light by hiding within rotting flesh. The corpses have no will or even animation of their own, but are moved by the sentient, physical dark that fills them. Although each puppet dead is a clumsy, uncoordinated thing, they are dangerous when gathered into a horde, guided by the single intellect of the Hungry Dark.
Darkness clings to the puppet dead like thick slime or smoke, reinforcing them from without when they are outside the reach of light. In it, the dark retreats into the husk of the corpse, sometimes to the point of swelling. As the body rots, tendrils of shadow leak out of the husk, until it can no longer beheld apart.
When sufficiently damaged, the puppet dead will sometimes burst apart in a cascade of oozing darkness. With their armor of flesh removed, the darkness within is as vulnerable to light or sunshard weapon once again.
OH NO :(
