Instead, a half-golem is a magitek cyborg; a living creature augmented by replacing limbs with artificial limbs animated by magic, and sometimes incorporating other artificial implants for increased armor or stability.

In 3e, the half-golem appeared as a racial template in the Monster Manual 2. This was then followed by a web enhancement detailing further types of half-golem than those listed in the original MM2 entry.
