Stone Golem[edit]
Bodyguards constructed to protect their creator.
Physical Description[edit]
There is not much finesse to the creation of a Golem, and as such they tend to look more like a pile of rocks and boulders that came to life in a shape similar to that of a humanoid's.
Attitudes and Beliefs[edit]
As creations of spellcasters, Golems believe in nothing but their master's authority. They have very little free will of their own as they are not designed to have any.
History[edit]
Golems came about much the same way as Gargoyles: Spellcasters experimenting with the ability to create life. As most creatures hate and fear them, Golems are created to protect them. But some spellcasters use them to create armies for their own sinister purpose.
