Description

   A hulking figure made from vibrant coral with starfish-like hands, it can shape and control nearby water.

Grown, Not Forged: A coral golem takes far longer to create then the more common Iron, or Stone variations seen on dry land. Races such as the Tritons, Merfolk and Sahagin spend decades cultivating the plants from which these constructs are created. This slow process yields great results, as a coral golem is a work of art, as much as function, capable of feats that lesser golems cannot approach.

Underwater Killing Machine: Coral Golems exel at combat, able to fight above and below the waves. They crush, grab, and impale their targets, a brutally simple method. On land their inescapable grip and sharp spikes give them an edge, and in the water their speed dramatically increases, making escape nearly impossible. 

The Long Term: A Coral Golem is built to last. While other constructs are often difficult to repair when damaged, all these require are sunlight to fix any damage. In addition, they have great utility beyond combat. Due to their more patient, harmonious natural creation, they contain Druidic energy that can be harnessed for specific spells. These constructs are used to control the tides, enrich harvests, and escort visitors from the surface Kingdoms who lack a way to breath underwater.
