It's alive - barely.
A literal human skeleton, lightly spattered with black cybernetics (mainly at the joints) which keep it upright and moving. No flesh at all, not any more, although who knows if the brain has been preserved, or in what state. The skull is particularly bare. Huge black liquid eyes peer mournfully and inhumanly out of the sockets. The lower jaw is missing, rendering the creature mute. Wrapped in robes to conceal its beyond-ravaged appearance, it can still move at a very fast walk - it no longer has pain receptors in the footbones which slam and scrabble against the ground.
It just wants to help you. It may no longer remember what 'help' means, exactly, but it does involve getting close and establishing eye contact, then trying to figure out what to do next.
Actions: senses motion. Will follow humanoids, unceasingly and untiringly, and stare at their faces from six inches away. Has a habit of appearing suddenly from the side of your vision at about that distance. Will not generally attack or cause harm (other than causing people to jump half out of their skin if encountered suddenly), but is very difficult to persuade to leave or stay out of personal spaces. Can sometimes be trained to perform simple tasks, with persistence, depending on any remaining intelligence.
