''They're definitely not suicidal'', true to an extent, however, fetch are so destructive that their enemies tend not to stop sweating until they're dead, which, combined with their low hit-point level, makes them the unit with probably the shortest lifespan in Myth.
One other thing- when the Fetches were summoned, how could they don human skins fast enough to avoid being spotted by Wyrd? The Myth manual says that ''they wear the skins of men they've electrocuted'', but we know from the game that men they've electrocuted tend to be in multiple charred bits, and their skins are in no state to wear. The only possible explanation I can see is if they are true demons. Demonic summonation, in most systems, requires the sacrifice of a humanoid creature, whose corpse the demon can then use as a vechicle to manifest itself. In the case of the Fetch, I would guess that they merely transmuted the internal flesh and organs into fetch, while leaving the skin intact. This would also avoid the problem of any stitching that might come undone.
