This breed is rare.
A golem is a being composed entirely of stone. Some say a golem is a result of karma, some say this is what happens to those who angry the gods. Whatever the creature was in it's past life, the stone will take on a similar form and trap the soul of the unfortunate animal inside. It is this soul that powers the doings of the stone body. No matter what the former personality, the trap has one of its own which forces the soul to correspond to certain breed specific traits. The voice of a golem sounds metallic, echo-y or far away to mortals.
While this breed is largely non-aggressive, females have been known to be more aggressive. Due to their size and weight, if these normally slow creatures build a momentum, it will be very difficult for them to stop. What they lack in speed, they can easily make up for in strength and endurance. Their endurance and natural stone defense makes them a perfect match for any elemental.
Since their first appearance in the land of Atheron, the Vinei have tried their best to befriend them. However, a golem's outlook on life is usually bleak and unsociable making relations extremely difficult. Although the more ambitious golems have been known to try to find a way to reverse their predicament, in any way they can.
Weight: Minimum 1 ton.
Height: 6'4 to shoulder
Lifespan: Until their punishment is over & are allowed to rest in peace.
