Golems
Basic Information
Anatomy
These constructs are generally made with a bipedal, humanoid shape, but stylized to suit their creator. Appearing as merely beautiful statues until commanded by their master to move and act. They are almost never outfitted with any sort of weaponry or armor.
Ecology and Habitats
Like any construct, Golems can be found anywhere across the land regardless of climate or terrain.
In older ages the cost of materials needed to construct a golem was around 60,000 gold coins, and the process took about two months. Skilled laborers, such as stone masons and Dwarves, are often hired to carve the golem from its single block of hard stone. Construction of these constructs can only be undertaken by high magic-users and require use of the spells geas, polymorph any object, slow and wish. These spells can be cast by the user themselves or by means of an enchanted item, such as a scroll or wand.
Behaviour
Golems are emotionless constructs who can not be reasoned with, always dutifully obedient to whoever constructed them, and can be given simple commands. They can even be commanded to fall into a dormant state, then come to life and attack other creatures when hostile actions are detected.
Additional Information
Uses, Products & Exploitation

Perception and Sensory Capabilities
These constructs possess an immunity to magic and can not be harmed by normal weaponry. Only weapons with a strong enchantment are capable of harming them.
