Clay Golem (3.5e Race)
Clay Golems
Personality
Clay Golems act differently depending on the golem. Some are passive, and exist simply to exist, not having a care in the world. Some are curious of the world around them, and explore, making friends. Some, who have been abused by others, grow hostile, and destroy anything that seems to threaten them with a unstoppable rage, like a rolling boulder.
Physical Description
Height: 2' - 15' Skin Color: Any Color of clay. Clay Golem's eyes are usually just small indents in the face. They almost always have a blank expression
Relations
Clay Golems get along well with any races that will accept them, however some Golems develop hatred for those that try to enslave them, or those that seek to destroy them. This hatred is difficult to form, but once made, it is set in stone, until someone of that species shows them a great kindness.
Alignment
Usually Neutral unless they have a master, if they have a evil master then the Golem will be evil and the same applies to good masters.
Lands
Clay Golems are either created by aspiring Golem constructors, or by random acts of magic in areas with a high amount of clay, such as a rivers bed. As such, Clay Golems are found all over the world, and are not to all uncommon.
Religion
Clay Golems have no religions normally, but may adopt one during their travels, being easily converted by clerics due to their curious, and naive nature, or begin to follow evil gods to enact their revenge upon those who have wronged them.
Language
Golems understands Common but does not speak any languages
Names
Golems are named whatever their master or masters choose. Golems with no master and are sentient will not go by any name unless someone names them.
