Cursed Corpse

A Cursed Corpse is a nonliving object that has been endowed with a curse, allowing it to gain self-control. They can appear naturally as hostile creatures, but more often used as dolls and puppets for sorcerers.

Description
Cursed corpses are defined as inanimate objects possessed by a curse that is capable of standing on its own. These types of curses that appear naturally are hostile to humans. Artificial cursed corpses created by sorcerers have a core that acts as their heart, allowing them to act independently from their creator until the cursed energy used to fuel them runs out.

Usage
Masamichi Yaga, the foremost practitioner of puppet jujutsu, was believed to create cursed corpses capable of following a set of pre-determined commands.

However, Yaga was could also able create independent cursed corpses that produce their own cursed energy. He developed the first Abrupt-Mutated Cursed Corpse: Abrupt-Mutated Cursed Corpse: Panda. Panda was born completely sentient and possesses three cores. Each of Panda's cores possesses unique traits, allowing him to switch between them and alter his physical shape at will, making him the most complex cursed corpse to exist.

Around the time of Panda's birth, Yaga was detained due to the dangerous potential an independent cursed corpse presents. The jujutsu higher-ups feared that he could create an army if he so desired and nearly placed an indefinite restraint on him. This did not occur, likely due to the influence of Satoru Gojo. However, jujutsu headquarters used the Shibuya Incident as an excuse to pressure Yaga. They threatened to execute him if he did not reveal the secret to developing independent cursed corpses.

Yaga had developed many independent cursed corpses with self-sufficient cursed energy other than Panda. Rather than an army, he made a family of harmless dolls that live in a forest protected by Tengen.

One of the aforementioned dolls was Takeru, a cursed corpse created with the soul information from Atsuya Kusakabe's nephew to help his sister's emotional state. Yaga made sure that this remained a secret because it could never get out that independent cursed corpses existed. This was proven when he was originally interrogated for creating Panda. Yaga felt that his ability was a curse and kept it a secret until his final moments, and used his final words to pass on the curse from himself to Principal Gakuganji.

To create an independent cursed corpse, a sorcerer must replicate soul information from physical information, then input that into cursed corpse cores. Additionally, the creator must put cores containing three compatible souls into one cursed corpse and have them constantly observe each other. Eventually, that will stabilize each of the souls and grant the cursed corpse self-awareness. Within three months' time, the Abrupt Mutated Cursed Corpse will also gain the ability to replenish its own cursed energy.

Kokichi Muta's Puppet Manipulation technique allows him to control his Mechamaru cursed corpses. Mechamarus are much more humanoid in shape and lethal in purpose than most of Yaga's creations. Kokichi can control numerous cursed corpses over an extremely wide range due to his Heavenly Restriction. Kokichi was also able to develop a gigantic cursed corpse that served as a mecha for him to pilot in battle.
