>Minions: Vessels of her Will
"Statues", "Hollow Vessels", "Pot heads"
In contrast to the deep underdark where souls are trapped and locked away, on the surface souls almost seemed to flit through the aether like a breeze, unbound. Gazing up at these free-spirited souls enraged the Mudwyrm. Something that should be so easily collected and solidified instead evaded her claws and refused to heed her will. With a roar and a gout of scarlet mud, the still lingering souls were swatted out of the sky and fell to the ground. Molding their bodies as their minds reeled, the Mudwyrm would not permit this twisted surface world to exist in such a state to defy her. She would bring these rogue souls to heel, bind them, and add them to her ever growing hoard.

A hellish sentence even worse than death, the Hollow Vessels are slaves in bodies not of their own. They are the Mudwyrm's most prized possession, a hoard and measure of her personal wealth, not treated as people but as a commodity, a resource, a symbol of status and acclaim. They are souls of mortal, animal, primal, and otherwise, stripped from their native bodies or plucked from the aether and siphoned in clay vessels dried from divine mud. Unable to leave until their cages are fully shattered, they toil away at whatever their lady demands. Set to make her ideal world on the surface.

Often the Mudwyrm will decorate them or flourish them with an appropriate form molded by her hands, her pride not allowing her hoard to be seen as unkempt or unseemly.

Still hashing out how this system works with the OPs.
