Night Wanderer Corpses—aside from Old Jasper, that Legendary Level Undead Mage, and their corpse champion, Muhawa—the most crucial of their number are the Corpse Demon Envoys!
Before the Night Wanderer Corpses reach any given settlement, a figure clad in motley rags will appear. They dance along the road, their limbs jerking like a puppet with its strings cut. Ancient bells jingle and chime, every movement punctuated by a rhythmic crackling. This silhouette will sometimes draw behind it a trail of eager children, following in its wake in search of where the performance will begin. Sooner or later, it will reach the town's heart—and there unveil its true face.
This figure is their Envoy. It will push back the broad brim of its hat, revealing a skeletal grin. Eyes glint in the light of Morse Rib, peering out from a face stripped clean of flesh. Then it bows, extends a hand, and delivers its ultimatum: "Surrender your dead."
