Golems

Golems are magical constructs. Essentially, one kind of material, like stone or earth, is transformed into a mobile, humanoid form, capable of various tasks, and sometimes of thought. This also makes Golems powerful opponents who can endure many hits. Golems as seen in Ultima III were apparently flesh-constructs, nearly indistinguishable from other types of giants.

In Pagan, an Earth Golem can be created with the Necromancy spell "Create Golem". These Golems are much tougher than the Golems encountered before. Some hostile Golems exist as well.

Lore
''Whether these monsters are natural to this chasm, or whether they were created here by long-ago wizards experimenting with dark forces, our wisest men cannot say. What we do know is that the Golems attack us on sight, and that no single mortal warrior has yet been a match for their fearsome strength and resistance to damage. Each type of Golem appears to have been formed from a different element, and they also differ somewhat in mass. The Earth Golem, a brown-hued figure composed of solidified soil, is the smallest. Still, it is a formidable creature best tackled by well-armed opponents. Knight Galloway claims that he once escaped from such a Golem by entering a maze of passageways - he thinks these beasts track their foes by eyesight, and are probably hard of hearing. The Stone Golem is larger than the Earth Golem, and can be recognized by its gray color. As it can slay a man in as few as two blows, and since it would seem to take many sword strikes to slay it, our Knights only tackle this opponent in teams.''
