The contorting soldier is a glitch in Assassin's Creed III that is very similar to the clipping soldier glitch.
What Happens
In this glitch, a soldier of either redcoat or rebel orientation dies and suddenly begins twisting and contorting into unnatural positions, as if possessed. The body will often end up in a bizarre position that could not occur naturally afterwards, as seen to the right.
How to Trigger Glitch
This glitch happens randomly when killing soldiers. It can be rare, but is also known to occur one after the other when it does rear its head.
