Editing Golem (section)

==Material Golems==
You might think that golems get pretty old, pretty quick, but they come in a massive array of forms, abilities and levels. And we mean '''massive'''; check out this list!

* '''Adamantine'''

* '''Amber''': A [[Mystara]]n golem, typically fashioned in the form of a great cat. Appeared in [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]].

* '''Ash''': Native to [[Dark Sun]], creating these golems requires a whole lotta ash, the blood from an Athasian fire drake, and the spells ''wish'', ''burning hands'', ''polymorph any object'', and ''geas''. They can burn whatever is in their touch, hurl fireballs, and emit clouds of caustic ash.

* '''Brain''': Created by [[illithid]]s and widely regarded as one of the ''stupidest'' possible golems for that choice. The key component is a chunk of neural tissue from an Elder Brain, and these golems are treated as the most useful and valuable slaves in an illithid community.

* '''Bone''': A golem fashioned from bones taken from felled [[skeleton|skeletal undead]]. May have debuted as part of the [[Ravenloft]] setting, but has quickly become a generic D&D staple.

* '''Clay''': One of the most iconic golems of all time, as this is the actual mythical golem. In old-school D&D parlance, this was actually considered a "lesser" golem, like the [[Flesh Golem]].

* '''Chitin''': Native to [[Dark Sun]], creating these bug-flesh golems requires a sufficient supply of chitin or giant bug carcasses ([[kank]]s are favored for how common they are), which need to be painted in a mixture of Athasian earth drake blood and the juices squeezed from potion fruits for ''animal control'' and ''vitality''. Then the caster hits the mess with the spells ''animate dead'', ''geas'', ''polymorph other'', and ''wish'', and bang, you got a Chitin Golem. Only [[defiler]]s can create this golem type in AD&D. They're impervious to spells of 5th level or lower, as well as to all necromancy spells, and they wield toxic claws to rip people apart.

* '''[[Flesh Golem|Flesh]]''': Basically Frankenstein's Monster. They got their own page.

* '''Garbage''': One of a collection of "lesser" golems featured in [[Dragon Magazine]] #341.
* '''Gemstone''': Native to the [[Forgotten Realms]] and were created in ancient [[Mulhorand]]. They come in '''Ruby''', '''Emerald''' and '''Diamond''' flavors and escalating toughness in that order. In modern times, or at least AD&D, they are only seen in [[Thay]], and only the Zulkir of Evocation knows how to make them.

* '''Maggot''': Ever wondered how you can make the [[Flesh Golem]] more disgusting? Meet the ''Maggot'' Golem, which looks and smells exactly how you're picturing it. This guy showed up in [[Ravenloft]], and its creator actually became a demilord during that brief period of time when Azalin was deposed.

* '''Rock''': You might be thinking [[Derp|"isn't that the same as stone?"]] Well, yeah. Like the Skeletal Golem, this is basically the [[Mystara]]n version of a golem seen elsewhere in the multiverse, and it's largely identical, save for some fiddly little details.
