golem

Magical beings built by wizards and sorcerers as servants and protectors. Held together and given life by powerful runes, golems are constructed of varying materials which determine their capabilities. However, few golems have been created since the age of wizards. And while those that remain have stood the test of time and proved incredibly resilient, they are often lost and wandering without purpose.

But a golem's mind is easily jogged, and once they remember their purpose, they stop at nothing to fulfill their duties. As long as one doesn't oppose their directives, golems can be helpful and assist those in need. However, the golems of evil sorcerers are built in the reflection of their makers' own twisted, cruel hearts.

combat

Golems are brutish combatants that charge, bash, and slam their foes. They are not very strategic in choosing targets; their greatest concern is defending a place or thing.
