Skeleton (Fallout 76)

Skeletons are world objects, the remains of deceased people and creatures

Background
The bones of creatures and human beings found in various places across Appalachia.

Characteristics
Skeletons cannot be interacted with or searched. Some are wearing specific outfits, such as vault jumpsuits. Skeletons can be moved by nearby explosions, or by walking into them. Human skeletons are found commonly throughout the region, as well as the skeletons of creatures. For example, large bones have been unearthed near the blade of the Rockhound in the Ash Heap, inside the Hopewell Cave, and near the Interloper inside of Lucky Hole Mine.

Behind the scenes
In the real world, decay equates to skeletons disintegrating as opposed to maintaining their shape. In-game, they are seen posed and intact as a gameplay mechanic utilized to aid in storytelling.
