Golem / Video Games

• After Armageddon Gaiden has Dhalzam, a quiet but strong earth golem, as one of the main party members.
• Ancient Domains of Mystery features many golem types, including: flesh golems, clay golems, stone golems, stone statues, crystal statues, diamond statues, steel golems, steel zombies, steel horrors, iron golems, and eternium golems. Many of these also breathe fire. Oddly enough, most of them can be pickpocketed, even though fictional golems often don't wear clothes.
• Golems are a unit type in Ancient Empires and its sequel. They are expensive but have the highest defence of any unit and high offence as well. Interestingly, they look different between games and also attack differently. The first game's Golems are humanoids made of rock that attack by rolling into a ball, while the second game's Golems are round boulders with a single eye that attack by slamming the ground.
• Ohtsuchi, the Arcana of Earth in Arcana Heart, is a massive clay golem that Maori's family has been praying to for generations.
• Being based on Dungeons & Dragons, it is no surprise that these show up in Baldur's Gate. The first game had flesh golems which hit hard and required +2 weapons to defeat, of which there are only a handful in the game. The second game upped it with clay-, stone-, bone-, iron-, sand-, magic- and adamantite golems, which could be Demonic Spiders depending on your level and equipment.
• In Baten Kaitos Origins, major character Guillo is a golem of sorts; a magical puppet dug up in the woods near Sagi's home. It was actually created by the Children of the Earth, and was used to slay Malpercio.
• BIONICLE: Maze of Shadows: the Energized Protodermis Entity animates some pillars in its lair to become Living Walls to attack the Toa Metru.
• In Brigandine, golems are slow heavily armored statues that are immune to hostile status-effect magic and can throw boulders. While they hit hard, they're also notorious for being inaccurate unless they evolve all the way into being a Talos.
• All over the place in the Castlevania series. They run the gamut from your typical clay giant to an animated pile of rocks.
  • Castlevania: Circle of the Moon: The Golem Attribute Card:
    The Golem is a mockery of man made from clay.
    Has the power of Earth.
  • In Castlevania: Judgment, a golem winds up with a soul due to the unusual circumstances of the time rift, allowing it to become a playable character and set out on a quest of self-identity.
• The DLC character for Child of Light is a stone golem named Golem. He's first found as a talking head, and Aurora must find the rest of his parts to put him back together. Once that's done, it joins the party, and acts as a Mighty Glacier with abilities that can slow, stun, or push back foes.
• Clash of Clans has Golem as one of the Dark Elixir troops that you can train whose role is to provide a Damage Sponge for the enemy's defenses, allowing your other more damaging troops to freely attack your opponent's village. Upon death, it deals explosive damage and splits into two smaller Golems called Golemites.
• Dark Souls:
  • The original Dark Souls has a fair number:
    • A huge iron golem acts as a boss. The descriptions of the weapons that can be forged from its core reveal that the gods used the remains of a dead dragon to forge the golem's core.
    • Seath the Scaleless made a whole bunch of crystal golems. They have the apparent ability to create new crystal out of nothing, though it only lasts for about a second (still just long enough for them to form a giant mace and smash your skull in with it).
    • Large Stone Knights populate the area outside the Moonlight Butterfly's perch. They are capable of casting Miracles. Likely also created by Seath.
    • Artorias of the Abyss DLC introduces the Stone Guardians, the predecessor of the aforementioned Large Stone Knights. They are golems animated by magic to protect the forest sanctuary in Oolacile.
  • Dark Souls II continues with the golems:
    • King Vendrick studied the creation of golems, and his castle is guarded by Stone Soldiers and living suits of armor. However, the only things explicitly called "golems" are large statues shaped like Giants that are powered by souls. Vendrick apparently stole something from the Giants to be able to create these things, and they guard the path to the Throne of Want.
    • The Old Iron King was reputed to have the ability to imbue his iron creations with life, though the only iron golems we see are in the Brume Tower in the DLC.
    • The Ivory King used golems extensively, though his were usually made of ice rather than stone. He also used soul-powered Giant-like golems similar to those created by Vendrick, except his could actually fight rather than just manipulate simple mechanisms.
• The necromancer of Diablo II can summon fighting golems made of clay, metal, blood, or fire. Clay Golems slow opponents and have HP, Metal Golems take on the properties of what they're created from, Blood Golems can steal life to heal itself and the Necromancer (prior to a certain patch, this link functioned both ways, harming the Necromancer when the golem is hit), and Fire Golems are immune to fire and grow stronger when hit by fire attacks as well as having a damaging fire aura.
• The Disgaea series has the Wood Golem monster class in every game after the first (Which had ones of the clay variety). They're the sentient, speaking sort of golem, and generally the most durable out of all the monsters, boasting high HP and defense on top of the ability to regenerate health after each turn.
• Golems were the dwarves' ultimate weapon in the backstory of Dragon Age. However, the knowledge of how to make them was lost forever during the First Blight. The Player Character can gain one, Shale, as a party member, and later can learn the truth about the lost art of creating them: they're made from living dwarves.
• Dragon Quest:
  • The series features monsters named Golem (made of either bricks or clay), Gold Golem (made of gold), and Stone Golem (made of stone).
  • They all made their appearance in the very first Dragon Quest game: the standard one as the guardian of Cantlin and thus a boss, the Gold Golem as a random encounter that gave lots of gold, and the Stone Golem as an endgame enemy.
  • Later games in the series would introduce golems made of other materials, including chocolate.
• Dragon's Crown has a giant stone Golem in the form of a gladiator that serves as the boss of the A Path in the Forgotten Sanctuary. It's extremely slow, but it has extremely high defenses and hits really hard. Thankfully, you could animate your own giant stone golem for this boss battle, and several of the Mooks you fight here carry around bombs that you could use. Completing the request to defeat the Golem boss without animating your own Golem reveals that these golems were created more than a century ago by Morgan Lisley, the shopkeeper of Morgan's Magic Item Shop, back when she was just a Child Mage.
• Dragon's Dogma has two varieties of Golem, the standard Golem and the Metal Golem. Both have glowing sigils which serve as weakpoints. Of course, to beat these, you must smash the glowing sigils to bits, but there is an added twist of magic attacks doing absolutely zero damage. The difference between the Golem and the Metal Golem is that the Golem's sigils are on its body while the Metal Golem's are scattered around the area. Oh, they also come with lasers.
• Golems are one of the sturdier miniboss enemies in Duel Savior Destiny, though they're also really slow. A golem is also the first fight in the game when Muriel Sheerfield pits a rampaging golem against Taiga in an effort to get his sister to leap to his defense and thus join her army. She does, but to her surprise, Taiga actually destroys it on his own by calling for an Aether Relic, something men aren't supposed to be able to do.
• The Elder Scrolls:
  • Arena has golems of ice, iron, and stone as generic enemies.
  • Daggerfall introduces the golem-like "Atronachs" which have become ubiquitous in the series ever since. As revealed in Morrowind, Atronachs are a type of elementally aligned lesser Daedra. The Flame, Frost, and Storm Atronachs appear as creatures made of fire, ice, and lightning (typically mixed with metal or rock), respectively. Other varieties which have appeared in the series include Air, Flesh, Iron, and Stone. All varieties are at least vaguely humanoid in shape, with some much more humanoid than others. As a group, Atronachs have no particular affinity toward any Daedric Prince, though individual Atronachs may be found in their service. Atronachs are a favored summon of mortal conjurers.
  • A series of Oblivion mods, the Midas Magic mods, introduce such things as the Cheese Golem and the Melon Golem, the summoning of which requires that you have a large amount of said foodstuffs beforehand.
  • With the barriers between Nirn and Oblivion restored by Martin's Heroic Sacrifice at the end of Oblivion's main quest, the elemental Atronachs are one of only two types of daedra that can be summoned in Skyrim.
• Elemental — War of Magic: In Fallen Enchantress, if you are of the Dwarven race or a home-brew one with the ability, you can create Iron Golems. Iron Golems are expensive melee units with high armour, a number of resistances and above average attacking ability.
• Elite Beat Agents has a golem made of rock and lava. It attacks an amusement park. Fortunately for the park's patrons, the janitor is a former baseball player who sees a chance to redeem himself. It's that sort of game.
• Enchanted Arms has Mons that are called Golems, but they do speak. (However, even in the English version, most speak Japanese. Leads to great confusion if you're trying to understand what they're saying. Thankfully, the Devil Golems, counting the Big Bad Infinity speak the language the game is set to.)
• Etrian Odyssey: One of the hidden superbosses in the game is a gigantic Golem that appears to also have some mechanical parts. It's a powerful monster with strong melee attacks, and the ability to restore a part of its HP when all of it is depleted (though this only works once).
• In the third game of the Exile series, the golems are a major plague destroying the planet's surface. All of them appear to be made of metal and gemstones, but they have different associated elements including fire, ice, and acid.
• Fairune has some variants. In 1, the sole Golem enemy type resembled a toy robot with a cylindrical head and blades in place of arms, and 2 has a total of 3 variants: the Golem in Green Fields Underground, Ice Golem as a rare encounter in White Lands, and the Metal Golem found in Sky Lands. The Knight enemies inhabiting the Tower areas of both Fairune 1 and 2 may also count, if they're not homunculi or robots.
• Fallen London has the Clay Men. They are never called golems, but otherwise fit the description. The in-game art even shows that they have writing on their foreheads.
• In the Fall from Heaven II mod for Civilization IV, the Luchuirp is a civilization made up of surface-dwelling Dwarves and golems. The problem is that the crude golems they can make now are incapable of learning (i.e., gaining XP) on their own. Barnaxus is an ancient golem from the old Khrad'Ke-zun Empire, of which only the Luchuirp remain, who can teach himself new things and then pass it on to Dwarves and other golems. Their cave-dwelling Khazad cousins don't use golems.
• Golems are Fate/Grand Order's standard Berserker-class enemy, usually appearing as a Rock Monster but some variants of it include Iron Golems, Crystal Golems, Ruby Golems and Rice Golems. One Advanced Quest plays with the original idea of the golem by having you fight against a Twin Steel Golem named "emeth" with a high special defense and large health bar, but hitting it will eventually make it spawn a golem named "e" which will damage "emeth" with a passive status called "meth" if defeated.
• Final Fantasy:
  • Many games have golems as minor enemies, and they can be made legendary metals like mythril or adamantite. There's also the Golem in Summon Magic, who creates a wall that protects the party from a certain amount of physical damage.
  • The Black Mages in Final Fantasy IX are automatons created by the villain from inert materials; however, they slowly gain a consciousness as the game progresses. In a somewhat unusual variant, their primary skill is offensive magic (e.g., fireballs), not physical strength. The party fights a couple of special winged models sent out as assassins. Unfortunately for Vivi, Black Mages also come with an expiration date.
  • The manikins of Dissidia Final Fantasy are essentially golems, being crystalline copies of the main characters that serve as the game's Mooks. They're failed bodies for the spirits found drifting in the Interdimensional Rift and speak with distorted voices. They're noted to be more dangerous because they'll attack relentlessly until their opponent's body is ruined to the point that it can't be repaired for the next cycle of battle (whereas the people, even the villains, tend to stop after they've landed the killing blow).
• Game & Watch: Climber has brick monsters called blockmen who fill in gaps in the path you can jump or fall through, namely by deposing of themselves to become new brick path.
• Longbow Games' Golem is a 2-D platformer/puzzle game where a young girl searching for a water source in an ancient tower, discovers a shape-changing golem which she partners with.
• Laser Guided Games's Golem Gates is a hybrid card-collecting, real-time strategy game where you are the techno-mage "The Harbinger" who can create golems of Ash (nanites) in a world where technology is so advanced that it's Magic from Technology.
• GrimGrimoire has golems as an alchemy unit. They function as siege tanks because of their incredibly long attack range. Being technically mindless, they're also immune to the Homunculi's Psi Storm.
• Asura in Guild Wars create golems (in-universe, short for Genius Operated Living Enchanted Mechanisms). You can gain a golem named M.O.X. as a hero.
• The Heart Pumps Clay: The party member, Bud, the golem.
• Jade Empire calls its magically animated automata "golems," although they're really a better fit for the Living Statue trope, being based off of Qin Shi Huangdi's terracotta army. They're also Powered by a Forsaken Child.
• One of the characters in Killer Instinct (2013) is Aganos, an ancient war golem that was ordered to learn how to think for itself by a Babylonian king, effectively giving it free will. Aganos is the largest character in the game, big enough for the camera to pan out so it can be fully shown and only rivalled in sheer size by the likes of Gargos, Eyedol and General RAAM, and it's playstyle revolves around loading up on rock chunks, which give it armor and access to various tools, at the cost of moving and jumping slower for each chunk loaded.
• Kingdom of Loathing plays with the idea of the golem, making them out of all sorts of unusual materials: candied yams, pencils, even one made out of a collapsed mineshaft. In the theoretically endless area (Fernswarthy's Basement?) one can encounter N Bottles of Beer on a Golem, which is about what it sounds like.
• Kingdom Wars 2 from Springcomes has two and they're both Super Legendary units. A Golem appears as a gigantic, quadraped lizard with a horned nose and pebbled skin, meanwhile the Angel Golem looks like a sleek metal statue with its lower-half missing and replaced a rocket thruster allowing it to hover. Both of these golems are Mighty Glacier units with a Ground Wave attack.
• The King Of Towers features mud golems in the marshlands levels that can increase their physical defense.
• In Lara Croft GO, the Shard of Life expansion features golem versions of the enemies found elsewhere in the game — the main difference being that when the golem versions are killed, they come back to life after a few turns. This is usually a problem, but some puzzles actually rely on them reviving at the right time to do something useful.
• Last Armageddon has a stone Golem as one of your party members. Being made of rock even gives him some properties like immunity to petrification and weakness to water.
• In JE Software AB's Last Hope TD, 20 Minutes in the Future, you control a tribe of Native Americans who are fighting zombies, bandits and other forces of evil. Your tribe make use of defensive structures, with most of them being either high-tech military or cleverly crafted Clock Punk mechanisms. The exception is the Stomper, this is a spirit drum contraption which does a Shockwave Stomp to slow foes. But with enough upgrades, the Stomper can also use magic to create a golem to attack enemies that have slowed.
• In Legend of Mana, instead of getting a monster or an NPC to be your character's partner in battle, you can create a golem whose stats and powers are dependent on what materials they're crafted from.
• This may or may not be the true nature of the ReDeads from The Legend of Zelda, depending on the game in question. Majora's Mask implies that they are actually undead, whereas their trophy descriptions in the Super Smash Bros. games states that they are merely clay humanoid figures animated with magic.
• Luminous Plume: The Harbingers of Calamity are golems that can absorb and use aura. Their creator, Jade, used them to attack Praelia.
• Mabinogi includes golems as boss monsters. These are all simply piles of magically animated rocks in a vaguely humanoid shape; sometimes covered with plants or snow. As of G9, player characters can get an Alchemy skill that allows them to create and control golems.
• Machina of the Planet Tree -Unity Unions-: Corona gains the ability to consume magic gems to synthesize minions that appear to be made of stone and jewels. By default, she can only have 20 minions on the field, but some equipment can raise that cap.
• Mega Man (Classic): Stone Man in Mega Man 5 is essentially a robot golem made of rocks, a core, and eyes. Earlier games have the Junk Golem enemy, and Mega Man 7 has Junk Man. The various Devils are golems made of shapeshifting blocks or green goo.
• Melfand Stories have a Golem made of stone as the boss in the church stage, which is even named "Golem" in-game. It's also a surprisingly resilient Determinator — you fight it on top of a bridge, and halfway through the bridge collapses. Both you and the golem fell to the bottom of the stage, and while you land unharmed, the golem is reduced to half a body somewhere above his torso... and continues attacking you by hurling pieces of rocks around him on you.
• Might and Magic:
  • The wizards faction has golems made of various materials: stone, iron, steel, gold and crystal — which they use as guardians and foot soldiers (VII even has making one be the point of the quest promoting sorcerers to wizards). The spin-off Heroes of Might and Magic adds dragon golems — in one game, dragonoids made of animated crystal, in another game, dwarves controlling draconic machines.
  • In the fourth Heroes game, during the Academy campaign, Solmyr is implied to compare golems to robots when he remarks that he heard of humans that can create golems without magic (for context, the setting, being hybrid High Fantasy/Sci-Fi, explicitly has robots. It's just that, the games being set on post-apocalyptic worlds, the various characters only ever meet the results, not anyone that has both the knowledge and the resources available).
• Golems appear in Miitopia, in which they look more or less like walls with Mii facial features. They sport both a great defense and a great attack.
• Minecraft has iron golems and snow golems that the player can build. A snow golem looks like a snowman with a jack-o-lantern for a head, and it distracts enemies by throwing snowballs at them. Iron golems can be found in large NPC villages, where they defend villagers from zombies at night.
• Minecraft Dungeons: There's the hostile Redstone Golems, as well as friendly Iron Golems (which can only be summoned with an artifact found on Apocalypse difficulty).
• Minion Masters has to factions with golems: The Crystal Elves and the Zen-Chi. The Crystal Elf-golems have a boulder for a body with short arms and legs causing them to be rather slow. They look rather polished like they are wearing an armor. They are brought to life by elven magic. The Zen-Chi-golems meanwhile are naturally occuring creatures which are comprised out of multiple rocks and boulders of varying sizes linked together. They also have moss and flowers growing on them.
• Golems have been a Monster Rancher staple since the first game. One is even a main character in the anime.
• The Clay Men in Mother 3 are mass-produced clay golems used by the Pigmask army for hard labor. They're brought to life with a device that's inserted into their heads after they're sculpted, and said device needs to be recharged periodically to keep them moving.
• Muelsfell: Rise of the Golems is entirely based around the creation of Golems.
• NetHack borrows the Dungeons & Dragons versions. Stoneing any other type of golem will turn it into a stone golem. Also, using a wand of cancellation on a clay golem erases the word of life on its forehead, destroying it. There's a gold golem which turns into a pile of gold coins when killed and a paper golem which turns into blank scrolls when killed. The Slash'EM variant additionally has a plastic golem which turns into credit cards when killed, a wax golem which turns into candles when killed, several gemstone golems which turn into their type of gem when killed, and a glass golem which turns into worthless fake gems when killed.
• Neverwinter Nights, being based on Dungeons & Dragons, had these in certain dungeons. The sequel steps it up a notch by allowing you to recruit one as an Optional Party Member.
• The second boss of Night Slashers is a rock golem.
• Ogre Battle offers golems, including one made of baldr. They become stronger when teamed with enchanters, who fight by magically controlling dolls.
• Path of Exile has Golems available as a type of minion. A summoner can only have one golem active at a time, and each provides a different buff to the summoner while it's active. Fire golems provide increased damage, Ice golems provide increased accuracy and critical chance, Lightning golems provide increases attack and cast speed, Stone golems grant life regeneration, Chaos golems give physical damage resistance, and Carrion golems grant bonus damage to your other minions.
• The Pokémon franchise has several creatures that could be described as golems.
  • Golett and Golurk, introduced in Pokémon Black and White, are clay statues given life through supernatural means to protect an ancient civilization, making them a direct reference to the Golem of Prague.
  • Magearna, from Pokémon Sun and Moon, resembles a clockwork robot but has more in common with a golem since its body is animated not by mechanical motion but by an artificial soul.
  • The Regi trio — Regirock, Regice, and Registeel — were created from rock, ice, and metal by Regigigas and activated through the Braille writing on their foreheads. The Crown Tundra expansion of Pokémon Sword and Shield adds two more Regi golems — Regieleki and Regidrago — who are made of electricity and draconic ore respectively.
  • Ironically, the Pokémon actually named Golem is not based on one — it looks more like a reptilian Rock Monster.
• The Vyr of Remnant: From the Ashes aren't so much robots as near-Lost Technology Magitek golems that serve the Undying King or guard ruins.
• In Risk of Rain, Rock Golems appear as enemies. They are highly resilient to damage and their smash attack can be deadly to low leveled players, however they are restricted by low mobility which makes them easy to avoid or out maneuver using hit and run tactics. The Stone Guardian boss is a massive version of this enemy.
• Girl Stinky in Sam & Max: Freelance Police is a cake golem, and a very intelligent and shifty one at that. Then again, she might just be a mermaid pulling a really elaborate con.
• Golems are common enemies throughout The Secret World; essentially bargain-basement copies of the gigantic Guardians of Gaia, they're normally produced by mages and put to whatever use requires brute strength. However, there's been a recent trend towards golems shaping and animating themselves, much to the consternation of your faction contacts.
• The colossi from Shadow of the Colossus are created from the earth itself. Their hairy bodies are actually composed of dead grass, and once they're defeated, they crumble into dirt and mold themselves into the ground.
• Shantae
  • Shantae (2002) has a place called the Golem Mine. No points for guessing what serves as the boss of this dungeon. It fights by spewing fireballs from its mouth and attacking you with its Giant Hands of Doom, and has a Power Crystal on its head that serves as its weak point.
  • Shantae: Risky's Revenge: As the fat man at the beginning of the game names, golems, beings of rocks with Mad Eye, are carrying picket signs, kindly requesting that you don't smash them, and scattered in various parts of the world, preventing Shantae from entering those areas until she learns the Elephant Dance.
• Skully contains three different golems you can transform into by entering a magical clay pool — the Mighty Glacier Strong Golem, fast-moving Fragile Speedster Fleet Footer Golem, and finally the balanced Jolly Jumper who can Double Jump.
• Sonic the Hedgehog:
  • One boss from Sonic & Knuckles is a golem (it appears at the end of an Ancient Egyptian-themed level, but whatever). You can't actually destroy it — it just rebuilds itself - and instead have to lure it into quicksand.
  • The Egg Golem boss from Sonic Adventure 2, a gigantic mecha covered with stone whose only vulnerable point (in the Hero Story) is a control device on its head. In the Dark Story, Sonic scrambles the control device and the Egg Golem turns on Dr. Eggman, who's forced to blow off its rocky armor and destroy its power cores to stop it.
• Soul Series: Astaroth was created after Rock the "White Giant" attacked a cult to rescue his adopted son. The cultists were so impressed by Rock's strength that they created Astaroth in his image. Astaroth eventually went rogue and tried to claim Soul Edge and kill Rock so that he could be a truly unique being instead of being just an Evil Knockoff. The remnants of the cult also created a feminine clockwork golem named Ashlotte to bring Astaroth back to them. In the time period between the fourth and fifth games, Astaroth was apparently Killed Off for Real by Maxi and Ashlotte retrieved his golem heart. The cultists, having failed to learn from their past mistakes, have created an entire series of Astaroth-like golems.
• In Cauldron HQ's turn-based strategy game Spellcross, golems are a wake-up enemy after you finish the first area of the game. Prior to the golems, enemy anti-vehice units were the ineffectual Dark Elves and Ballistas. When you encounter a golem, they look nothing more than an angry stone cube with legs. However, they're an effective anti-vehicle unit that can easily take on your IFVs and early tanks with their energy bolts while their stone bodies can take significant damage especially against infantry.
• Spyro the Dragon:
  • Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!: Earthshapers (both the original and its reignited version) are enemies that can be found in Fracture Hills and Magma Cone. In Fracture Hills, they have incased the bagpipe-playing satyrs and the temple in stone, having grown tired of them playing their bagpipes at all hours of the night. In Magma Cone, they are responsible for unplugging the volcano and ruining the faun's party. While the smaller earthshapers in Magma Cone can be killed by charging and flaming, the larger ones are immune to Spyro's attacks and can only be killed by charging them into the lava (or in Magma Cone's case, charging them into the faun's elaborate demolition traps).
  • The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon: Golems are Kaiju-sized lava monsters from below the Earth. Only one appears and it serves as The Dragon to Malefor in the game. It can regenerate by absorbing rock or rubble and the only way to permanently kill it is to destroy the Dark Gem acting as it's brain. Spyro and Cynder shatter its brain, sending it falling off a building. The Destroyer, a planet-destroying Eldritch Abomination Malefor unleashes, is pretty much a mountain-sized, much more frightening one.
  • Skylanders has many playable golems such as Eruptor, Prism Break, Crusher, Hot Head, Doomstone etc. as well as enemy golems such as Crystal Golems and Gear Golems.
• There are three kinds of golems in Telepath RPG:
  • There are the stone golems, who are the less dangerous and who attack by punching, with the exception of Flint who can gets a flamethrower and a saw blade.
  • There are the bronze golems, who can attack with an arc with their saw blades.
  • Then there are the energy golems, who can't move but can attack in a straight line with unlimited range with their laser canon. One of your potential party members is a prototype energy golem called Dorgon who can move, use a melee attack and learn a burst shot move.
• Terraria has quite a few golems that act as enemies: namely the Golem (a Lihzahrd-made being that serves as the boss of the Jungle Temple after defeating Plantera), the Granite Golem (an enemy found within Granite Caves that can shield itself to No-Sell attacks every now and then), the Rock Golem (rather like the Granite Golem, except found within the Cavern layer and much tougher to boot) and the Ice Golem (a tough mini-boss that only appears during a blizzard in the snow biome, and is the source of Frost Cores that can be used to craft the Frost Armour set, amongst others).
• TimeSplitters 2's Aztec level has wood and stone golems protecting the time crystal. Also worth mentioning is Mister Fleshcage, a Flesh Golem of sorts whose skeleton is made from the torture device its flesh donators died on.
• Total War: Warhammer: Besides the various constructs of the Tomb Kings, such as the Ushabti, the newly created Cathayan faction has their giant Terracotta Warriors.
• A rock golem is the first boss of Undead Line, with the ability to summon rock projectiles as a ranged attack.
• Warcraft:
  • Warcraft III has a range of golems much like Dungeons & Dragons. Mud Golems can slow enemies, while the other versions tend to be tougher and can throw rocks to damage and stun.
  • Golems also appear in World of Warcraft. They often appear in Titan ruins or alongside Dark Iron dwarfs (who have a large factory dedicated to creating golems in their capital). Blood Elfs use arcane golems, which are a Magitek version. The Drakkari Trolls construct mojo-powered stone Colossi, which are later used by the Zandalari.
  • The Burning Legion has Infernals, which are golems made out of rocks held in a humanoid shape by green Hellfire. They usually are deployed into battle in the form of flaming meteors. Warlocks can also summon Infernals when they gain enough levels.
  • After their flesh-and-blood creations turned on them, the Mogu developed methods for animating stone and terra cotta statues to act as soldiers.
• Warlords Battlecry: Practically the entire fighting force of the Dark Dwarves consists of golems. Stone golems are basically sloooooow mooks with a heavy backhand, Iron golems can summon firebombs and have an area-of-effect spinning strike while still slow, and Bronze golems are nasty pieces of work with a really heavy hand and Implacable Man levels of armor and resistance. All these, combined with some general upgrades for golems and some huge, though expensive, accumulated bonuses when researching the Armorer-Weaponsmith-Mithril upgrade line, makes them a slow, tough as hell and pretty damn dangerous fighting force. Unless they mass Flame Cannons and Hellbores.
• The Golems from Wild ARMs, particularly 1/Alter Code F and 3. Most turn against their creators.
• In the swamp in The Witcher, there's a dormant stone golem in a clearing. A sidequest lets you reactivate it, whereupon it becomes an Optional Boss whose heart is an ingredient in a mutagen that grants a bonus to Geralt's magic. A couple of other types of golems appear in the sequel.
• Wizard101 has these all over the spiral. The main ones are living mannequins, Clockworks, iron golems, and Homunculi.
