Homebrew Clay Golem - Version 3 Species Details

The Clay Golem are beings, formed together my too much energy in one place. The subspecies are under Clay Golems because energy mostly gathers in riverbeds and the lakes/ponds around waterfalls where there happens to be a lot of clay. However, they can form from sand(not sandstone), cobblestone, limestone, marble, granite, gold, copper, sod, and magma. For the energy to merge with the material their needs to be a lot of open space which is why more clay golems are seen then others. Magma, gold, copper, and cobblestone require a massive constant flow of energy to keep moving which is why the only times they have been seen are in deep caves close to the mantle of the planet's core.

 

There have been many attempts to artificially create golems which this testing resorted in homunculi. The closest attempt was by a nameless warlock who made a golem of gold as a body for their patron, this managed to function for 3 hours before the gold was stuck in place and melting. This killed the patron and the warlock.

 

Clay Golems walk the earth with little to no feeling or troubles. The smooth clay allows attacks to slip off of it. Because they come from the earth they have no problem traversing walls, ceilings, and other difficult terrain.
