Gold golem (Recurring)

The Gold golem is summed up by its name: it is a golem made out of gold bricks. Typically, it is the go-to monster for amassing quick cash, usually being the weakest in the golem family. This is appropriate, as gold is one of the softest metals.

Characteristics

Great gleaming golden giants that smack and smash enemies with granite-tough fists of fury. Their metal bodies are massively tough, giving them time to save their strength for extra hard hits that can take out enemies in a single strike.
