Petrified corpse

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

Background
Petrified corpses were once Scorched. At some point, they were infested by the hazardous fungus that causes The Scorched Plague, which eventually killed them and converted their bodies into a radioactive, petrified mass. Many were consumed so quickly that their corpses remain standing in the same stance and place they died in.

When interacted with petrified corpses will crumble into pieces, releasing a small cloud of Radiation (up to +8rads/s), and rarely drop loot such as nuclear waste, bottlecaps, and glass bottles.

Appearances
Petrified corpses appear only in Fallout 76.
