Golem (Clay, Stone, Iron)

Golems are mute, mindless automatons sculpted from clay, stone, or iron and quickened by an unwilling spirit of elemental earth bound into the body. They neither speak, sleep, nor feel, and obey only their maker. The clay golem is a crude figure of baked earth; the stone golem a chiselled colossus of granite; the iron golem a towering plated giant, hardest of all. Each weighs a ton or more and strikes with crushing, tireless fists that ordinary weapons cannot answer, only enchanted steel bites their shells. Some carry a trace of their making: a clay form may fall into a destroying frenzy, an iron one exhale a killing vapour. Slow but utterly relentless, a golem pursues its orders until shattered to rubble.
