Golems are hulking man-shaped monsters made of clay bricks. This sums up most of their appearances with their face being the only other detail: a slit-like opening with two eyes glowing from the darkness.

Since the appearance of the first golem the species has solidified itself as a hefty force of physical might but one that lacks in resistance to spells. One of the most notable vulnerabilities of the golem is that of sleep-inducing abilities, an Achilles' heel that made the first golem easy to defeat and has since, for the most part, stuck with the monster as one of its more unfortunate qualities.

==={{DQMCH}}===
Golems do not appear until near the end of the game, acting as mechs piloted by [[platypunk]] members of the Plob within the Flying Clawtress and can also be piloted by the player once unmanned. They are potent monsters, capable of delivering charging punches and hitting their fists together to ward off opponents that are too close for comfort. If one is already being manned by a platypunk, it must be struck with three Elasto Blasts before the pilot will be forced to disembark. These 'liberated' golems, and ones left unattended, can only suffer another three attacks before they go inoperable and explode, regardless of whether the player is piloting them or they are unmanned. Since they are too big and heavy to be knocked into the air and carried around, a [[chimaera wing]] must be thrown at them in order to send them back to town.
The Golem is a three-star members of the [[Material family]] with a weight of 3. It naturally learns [[Save Power]], [[United Soul]] and [[Body Slam]]. Its in-game description reads "A giant formed out of the soil in order to protect people."


Golems can also be used in tank battles, though they act the same way as they do outside of these battles, meaning they do nothing more than stand idle until the player jumps in to command one, being somewhat disadvantageous since only two other crew members will be left free and even more disadvantageous if these remaining crew members are poor at handling the cannons. This aside, golems can be incredibly useful when it comes to sabotaging an enemy tank since their fist-clapping move can quickly break open the entryway of an enemy tank, and their charging punches can wreck a whole wall of machinery when positioned right and easily enable one to reach the enemy's engine when the time arrives, but they can still only deal with three attacks before being defeated. An exploding golem can damage the player both inside and outside of tank battles, so it is recommended to gain some distance when a golem has taken as much as it can.

{{Enemy
Golems do not appear until near the end of the game, acting as mechs piloted by [[Platypunk]] members of the Plob within the Flying Clawtress and can also be piloted by the player once unmanned. They are potent {{MFamilies}}s, capable of delivering charging punches and hitting their fists together to ward off opponents that are too close for comfort. If one is already being manned by a [[Platypunk]], it must be struck with three Elasto Blasts before the pilot will be forced to disembark. These 'liberated' Golems, and ones left unattended, can only suffer another three attacks before they go inoperable and explode, regardless of whether the player is piloting them or they are unmanned. Since they are too big and heavy to be knocked into the air and carried around, a [[Chimaera wing]] must be thrown at them in order to send them back to town.

====''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''====
Golems can also be used in tank battles, though they act the same way as they do outside of these battles, meaning they do nothing more than stand idle until the player jumps in to command one, being somewhat disadvantageous since only two other crew members will be left free and even more disadvantageous if these remaining crew members are poor at handling the cannons. This aside, Golems can be incredibly useful when it comes to sabotaging an enemy tank since their fist-clapping move can quickly break open the entryway of an enemy tank, and their charging punches can wreck a whole wall of machinery when positioned right and easily enable one to reach the enemy's engine when the time arrives, but they can still only deal with three attacks before being defeated. An exploding Golem can damage the player both inside and outside of tank battles, so it is recommended to gain some distance when a Golem has taken as much as it can.

Gold golems appear as rank D members of the material family and can be scouted within Palaish Isle's shrine where they can be found on the second floor in the room with a coat-of-arms hanging on the far-wall, though their appearances are relatively rare.


In ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2]]'', the gold golem is a Rank D [[Material family|material]] monster in ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2''. One can be synthesized by mixing a [[Metal slime|metal slime]] and a [[Gasbagon|gasbagon]].

The '''stone golem''' (originally ''Stoneman'' and ''Rock Golem'') is a golem constructed of stone blocks instead of clay bricks.


While some games have had stone golems as being superior to their normal brethren, other titles have shown the stone golem as being weaker, though they still boast the strength and stamina of their relatives. They are especially prone to charging up power for increased strength to their already crushing blows.
==={{DQB}}===
{{Enemy
Like in the original {{Dragon Quest}}, the Golem is the first boss fought in the game. At the end of Chapter 1, the Golem attacks [[Cantlin]] and must be defeated. Regular enemy Golems after this point drop chunks of '''Golemite'''.
|float =  
====Strategy====
|name = Stone Golem
The player must use Cantlin Shields to deflect the Golem's attacks as it hurls boulders at the city. After about three times, the Golem will be enraged and begin spinning around in circles. When it stops, it is dizzy. This is the time to use a wrecking ball on it. The wrecking ball will blast it into pieces and take a chunk of its {{HP}} off. Then, the pieces reassemble and the Golem begins hurling boulders anew, repeating the cycle.

Golem appears as a D-rank {{MFamilies}} of the {{Inorganic}} family. It can be faced as a boss in Chapter 3, Episode 7: A Fearsome Foe of the main storyline and it will join the party after being defeated. It can be fully awakened by completing Chapters 10-2, 11-6, and 11-8. The Golem stars in its own Battle Road and it can participate in the Battle Roads of [[Majellan]], [[Wax murderer]], [[Slon the Rook]], and [[Robbin' 'Ood|Red Robbin' Hood]] as a party member.
