Meat Puppet(s) are Banes that possess rotting corpses.
Overview[]
These spirits embody innocence defiled. Meat Puppets wander the Umbra in search of those young beings (both human and animal) who have suffered wrongful deaths. A Meat Puppet will possess anything from a drowned kitten to a young child beaten to death by her father.
Meat Puppets hunger for the feel of young flesh. They wish only to possess a body and wreak vengeance on those with "natural" bodies. However, they are not strong enough to take a living body, so they prey upon the dead. They possess the recently dead cadavers of young children or animals.
Although individual Meat Puppets are not very strong, they often appear in groups. Since their bodies have already died, Meat Puppets attack unrelentingly and can only be stopped by utterly destroying the host body. Thus even a groups of Meat Puppet "kittens" can be very dangerous.
Legends say that when Gaia chose which spirits would live in flesh and which would be immaterial, these ones were given immaterial existence. But they rebelled, and sought aid from the Wyrm to get the bodies they sought. They are immature spirits and only seek the dead bodies of young children or animals.
