Manipulator

Puppeteer is a Unique Skill that allows it's user to manipulate their subordinates and gain information from them.

Abilities

 * This ability can convert information into encrypted communications as it conducted surveillance over a wide area. Deploying a member of his team to an area allowed them to function as his eyes and ears to gather intelligence.
 * Marionette Dance: This ability allows him to make dolls out of majins whose souls he stole. Marionette Dolls can immediately regenerate and continue to attack if destroyed. However, these dolls aren't protected against attacks to their souls.

Trivia

 * After Rimuru obtained this Skill from devouring Clayman, it is immediately turned into energy as it is an inferior skill compared to what he has.
 * Clayman using this ability to remove the hearts of his subordinates to ensure their loyalty bears similarity to the half-demon Naraku from the manga InuYasha.
 * Naraku similarly would remove the hearts of demonic "incarnations" he would create from his own body. (With two exceptions) He would squash them for betrayal, or give painful squeezes for disobedience.
 * Unlike Clayman's puppeteer ability, a replacement for the heart wasn't necessary as Naraku's incarnations could adapt to not having a heart.
