Berserk. Whenever the golem starts its turn with 40 hit points or fewer, roll a d6. On a 6, the golem goes berserk. On each of its turns while berserk, the golem attacks the nearest creature it can see. If no creature is near enough to move to and attack, the golem attacks an object, with preference for an object smaller than itself. Once the golem goes berserk, it continues to do so until it is destroyed or regains all its hit points.
The golem's creator, if within 60 feet of the berserk golem, can try to calm it by speaking firmly and persuasively. The golem must be able to hear its creator, who must take an action to make a DC 15 Charisma (Persuasion) check. If the check succeeds, the golem ceases being berserk. If it takes damage while still at 40 hit points or fewer, the golem might go berserk again.
Aversion of Fire. If the golem takes fire damage, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the end of its next turn.
Immutable Form. The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
Lightning Absorption. Whenever the golem is subjected to lightning damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to the lightning damage dealt + its CON modifier.
Magic Resistance. The golem has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Magic Weapons. The golem's weapon attacks are magical.
Multiattack. The golem makes two slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
Description
A flesh golem is a grisly assortment of humanoid body parts stitched and bolted together into a muscled brute imbued with formidable strength. Powerful enchantments protect it, deflecting spells and all but the most potent weapons. This one has had metal from old armor fused to the partially conscious being's flesh, before fully awakening it. As a result, the robust nature of the construct has been weakened, in exchange for a stronger resistance against weapons. The metal also acts as a conductor of electricity, aiding in its lightning absorption. The typical layout for metallic fusion placement is around the head, hands, spine, ribs and feet, avoiding the joints necessary for agile movement and providing protection over the more vulnerable areas, while giving the golem's slam attack an extra pack to its punch. More skilled unorthodox smiths may even equip various metallic parts to the golem that accomplish different tasks, such as fists more shaped for burrowing or climbing, or spinal add-ons made to hold cargo. some have even been seen with custom made seats on the chest add-on that allows for a dwarf sized humanoid to sit there, either to be tortured through the golem by its creator or to ride the golem into battle, attacking in unison with it.
