Through war, many lives are needlessly lost, especially those of the working class. Farmers take up many of these casualties, leaving empty fields of crops and scarecrows. These spirits are anything but peaceful. Over time, as the fields are soiled, the spirits begin to conglomerate and haunt the still protectors of these fields. As they consume other scarecrows and crops, the straw juggernaut is born. They are frustrated, more than anything. With the collective anger at several lives cut short, they lash out at whatever they find. This isn't to say they can't be reasoned with.
