- This article is about the construct type. Golems, like robots and clockworks, have been generically described as "automatons" but are otherwise dissimilar from the specific automaton construct subtype.
A golem is a magically created construct most often animated by infusing a lifeless form with an elemental spirit, generally an earth elemental. A golem is mindless and serves at its creator's command;[1] creators of golems are known as golemwrights.[2]
