Bonehead

A common type of Undead Monster found throughout the world, they can arise spontaneously from the remains of those who have perished as a result of their own, consciously acknowledged, bad decisions. People who perish due to their own follies, unsafe or otherwise careless or reckless behavior, or other poor decisions. These fatal choices usually need to be relatively simple and recent, rather than being a gradual decline, such that the final living thoughts of most Boneheads are some permutation of "This was a mistake," "I knew this was a bad idea," "I should not have done that," "My bad," "I fucked up," or simply "Oops." This sudden realization is fundamental to the creation of a Bonehead, as the sudden, intense regret it engenders in the Soul is part of the catalyst required for the formation of Animus that causes the dying to reanimate as an Undead. It is worth noting that bones must remain for a Bonehead to rise... but they need not be intact or even in the same place; the properties of a Bonehead will cause them to eventually reconstitute. However, if the remains are disintegrated, dissolved with acid or radiant energy, or the like, then a Bonehead will not form. An Alchemist's assistant who falls into a vat of acid because he chose to run when he knew he should walk and slipped will not rise as a Bonehead, no matter how much he realizes his mistake, but one that knows he should wash his hands after handling ingredients but doesn't and subsequently dies by accidentally poisoning his own sandwich very much might.
Boneheads are weak Skeleton-type Undead most notable for their exceptional recuperative capabilities; as if in response to the regret that they cannot undo or redo the actions that caused their own demise, they instead are bestowed with an extraordinary capacity to recover from nearly any injury. Boneheads will reconstitute from any physical harm over a period of time determined by the severity of their injuries so long as it does not disintegrate or dissolve their bodies. They may even freely detach and remotely control or perceive through their body parts, so long as they would otherwise be able to use those perceptions from that part of their body, such as removing a hand and using it to move about and feel things or detaching their head and using it to observe a separate location as if it were simply a skull.
Perhaps due to the manner in which they form, Boneheads have a reputation for low intellect and poor common sense. They are not always good at dispelling this reputation.
