While their origin is unknown, multiple re-animated corpses were found on a parallel Earth by the unnamed brunette woman [[Cristina Thompson]] and [[Thomas]] while attempting to dispose of the [[Soul Reader (Book)]]. These re-animated corpses were only visible when under direct light, otherwise they remained invisible. The corpses appeared to have been reanimated through the influence of a large mobile metallic construct.
The same re-animated corpses and gargantuan metallic construct were later encountered by refugees fleeing inwards from the effects of [[The Crushing Fist]]. The controlling entity is enormous in size, with mobile metal legs stretching up above cloud height.
