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 humans or ghouls. 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.

Petrified corpses rarely contain loot, such as nuclear waste bottle caps and glass bottles, 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.
