When ENVOY’s release their DELEGATES, and those DELEGATES are slain, the BEETLES that keep them alive swarm in to attempt to revive them. They are upsettingly efficient in their task, grafting metal to bone, wire to skin, tar to blood and death to the fraying threads of life.
When they fail or are separated from their host, the BEETLES are left dormant in the poisoned soil. Occasionally, though nobody knows why, a group of them will attempt to build a DELEGATE whole-cloth with whatever they can find.
A grim creature of rotting hide, sun-bleached wood, rocks and bones, Corpse Delegates have no impetus to do anything. The BEETLES control the imitation body but cannot build a brain-stem. Shambling Delegates stand or wander listlessly on the poisoned soil until they once again fall apart and return to the ASH that all ENVOYs are born from.
This is true:
The creak of the Corpse Delegate’s snapping wires and creaking wooden bones will be heard as you fall asleep.
