Golem

Golems are magically animated being created by magic. Unlike Undead (which are an animation of a previously living creature), Golems are an animation of non-living materials. This could be in the form of raw materials, such as Ice Golems, or more insidious matter such as Flesh Golems.

Golems are often the creation of magicians who animate them to act as the muscle for the magician's brain. Still, some natural forms of Golems (known as Elementals) can be found in areas where magical disturbances occur (like the Stone Elementals scattered through Ascalon near the large magical crystals).

Golems in general tend to be resistent to physical damage, but being made of simple materials, they often inherit the properties of these materials. So, Ice Golems would be highly resistent to cold damage but very susceptible to fire damage.

Because Golems are not real living creatures, they do not leave behind a corpse that can be exploited by a necromancer.
