The herculean golem is an improved form of flesh golem, made not from a haphazard assortment of parts from different bodies stitched together, but rather from a single masterfully preserved body. Smarter, faster and stronger than an ordinary flesh golem, herculean golems can also blast their enemies with bolts of lightning. Many legendary heroes or beloved rulers are crafted into herculean golems when they die, so that they may protect their tombs from those who would defile them.
