Homebrew Flesh Golem Species Details
Sewn together from diffrent humanoid parts and brought to life through magic, Flesh Golems are the product of experimentation and hubris. All Flesh Golems are unique, and may posess diffrent abilities and qualities depending on their biological components and purpose. However, they all share the the common strengths and weaknesses that come of being partially undead magical beings. Most flesh golems are kept subservient to those who made them, acting out commands with no sentience of their own, but some Flesh Golems break the chains of servitude and become independant, learning to think and make decisions for themselves.
