 When active, iron golems produce a substantial heat, causing the interior of the golem to glow red along the joints where its metal plates are locked together.  This heat does not cause damage it itself (although the [[Temperature Grades|temperature]] is [[Sweltering (temperature)|sweltering]], but the process creates a highly noxious '''gas''' within a 20 ft. radius of the golem when the golem is engaged in combat.  All those that are within this area will sustain 2 [[Hit Points|hit points]] of damage per round, and must make [[Saving Throws|saving throw vs. poison]] or pass out for 2-5 rounds.

 The elephantine weight of the iron golem — five tons — demands that it stand or move upon a solid stone surface which will support its weight.  If moving over fields, the construct will tend to sink ankle deep, and may become helplessly bogged down if attempting to move over soggy or wet ground.  For this reason, the iron golem is never found outside urban or subterranean environments, though there are rumours of these creatures dwelling in mountainous places (if so, it has never been reliably witnessed).  They are able to move fluidly, though it is sometimes difficult for the creature to judge overhanging obstacles and will commonly hit its head (without harm) when pursuing a victim.
