A submandate is a rare and mysterious phenomenon where a subordinate entity, often a sentient being or a sentient non-being, is compelled to do the bidding of a superior entity without question or hesitation.
Submandates can be found in the most unlikely of places, from the depths of bureaucratic red tape to the highest echelons of intergalactic politics.
Submandates are often identified by their distinctive uniform: a black and white striped onesie, adorned with a golden pin that reads "Property of [Superior Entity]."

Submandate Ninja: A stealthy submandate that has mastered the art of invisible servitude.
