An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Bone golems are golems constructed from the bones of many different animals and humanoids. A motionless bone golem is all but indistinguishable from an ordinary pile of bones, which the golems use to their advantage, attacking unwary enemies from behind after incapacitating them with their terrifying laughter. They tend to be unusually aggressive for golems, especially when they are close to destruction.
