Golems

Description
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 hard opponents who can endure many hits before going down.

There is no way to predict where a Golem can be.

Evolution in the Series

 * First appearance: Ultima Underworld I


 * Last apperance: Ultima IX

Golems were first encountered in Ultima Underworld I. From then, they changed only very little.

During the series, a number of different types of Golems were encountered:


 * Ice Golems (only one, more below)
 * Earth Golems
 * Stone Golems
 * Iron Golems

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.

Notable Examples

 * An Earth Golem in the Abyss in Ultima Underworld I, who challanges the Avatar to a fight for the Shield of Valor.
 * 4T44, an Ice Golem, guarding the dam controls to Anodunos, and had no idea that everyone is long gone.
 * Bollux and Adjel, two Stone Golems, who are essentially the Test of Love on the Isle of Fire in Ultima VII.
