Description
Corpse Puppets represent Necromancy at it's most amateurish. Rather than imparting a semblance of life into a corpse, providing it with some semblance of intelligent autonomy (however limited): corpse puppets are literally bodies used as mannequins and manipulated with threads of magic tugging at their flesh and anchored into what remains of their souls. Sometimes malign spirits will create corpse puppets as a last ditch assault on the living: a petty, spiteful act before they themselves finally leave the material plane.
Regardless of how they come into being, they are a frightful and macabre spectacle: bobbing about on invisible wires, flesh slopping off of bone, and careening into enemies with wild swinging blows.
