Petrified corpse

Petrified corpses are the bodies of people who have been completely consumed by the Scorch. They are found throughout Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Petrified corpses were once humans or ghouls. At some point, they were infested by the hazardous fungus known as the Scorch, which eventually killed them and converted their bodies into a radioactive, petrified mass. Many were consumed so quickly that their corpses remained standing in place where they died.

Petrified corpses contain no loot, but can be searched, at which point they will crumble to pieces and release a small cloud of radiation (up to +8 rads/s).

Appearances
Petrified corpses appear only in Fallout 76.
