unsouled
Lacking inner essence
Unsouled describes something or someone lacking a soul—either literally in religious or fantasy contexts, or figuratively meaning without spirit, vitality, or emotional depth.
The word appears in speculative fiction for beings denied or stripped of souls: The unsouled wandered the wasteland, empty husks of their former selves.
Figuratively, it suggests coldness or mechanical emptiness: His unsouled performance left the audience unmoved.
