Magical and unwieldy, Golems were not so much birthed into the universe as much as created. With great regenerative powers and a body inflexible to change, it is a mystery as to their function in life. The only way to become a Golem is through the Gargoyle race and the remort command.

Comments

Golems are tied with Ents for having the highest racial damage modifier, save for Lord Firedrakes. However, unlike Ents, Golems have the best available racial-armor in game.

Due to low intelligence and wisdom, roles for a golem are usually limited to warriors/berserkers/etc. They are the strongest hitters at hero, and with very high hit points, they are the pinnacle of the brute races, but with a flaw: racial-construct reduces incoming heals. But if you need a cleric while running a hero 101+ golem, you are probably doing it wrong. And this racial does little to effect their exceptional performance as a berserker.

Tanking EHA runs with a golem isn't terrible, because many players run small arcane brandishing alts.
