Cadaver Collector

This massive, hunched creature built of stone and metal

looms over you. Its long, heavily plated arms nearly drag on
the ground from shoulders flanking a flat-featured, oblong
head, but its back draws your eye. Spikes of various sizes, all
barbed and covered in gore dried and fresh, sprout from the
plates of metal on its back. A few bodies remain impaled on
the spikes, their mouths open in silent screams.
Battlefield Bodies. Cadaver collectors were originally built
to serve exactly the purpose their name implies. Those with
an interest in collecting the dead would deploy the constructs
to bring bodies back from a battlefield. Corpses gathered in
this fashion are often used by generals to provide information
on an enemy's forces, as well as to fuel magical or medical
research.
Most often, though, cadaver collectors were dispatched to
gather bodies for the creation of undead. This activity after a
battle typically resulted in retaliation from either or both
sides, as few armies want to see their dead return to walk the
land in undeath.
