Chapter 57- Chaos (2)
The Headless Puppet is a Monarch-ranked Bate who appears at the very end of the novel, just before the King of Death.
The Headless Puppet was named as such because it was controlled by a different Bate which was known as Minx. Minx is a mind-influencing Bate that isn't strong on its own but has skills that can easily manipulate any Bate, regardless of their rank.
In the novel, the Headless Puppet never appears in Awsperg. Rather, the Minx sent several smaller forms of the Puppet to destroy the town.
The smaller form of the Headless Puppet or Headlings, appeared to be the same as its parent body but in a small size and possessing not as much strength as the Puppet.
Lilia and Richard didn't have to wander for long before they came across a Headling which was wandering on the street and crushing every being that came in its path.
