Clay golems are constructed, animated beings created from clay soil. The method of their creation is detailed under the sage study, golems. Clay golems are specifically constructed for the purpose of revenge against a chosen enemy, malevolently wreaking havoc, destroying property and killing as many as possible. A famous example of this is the creation of a clay golem by a Jewish sect in Prague, that raged for seven days and killed seven hundred before the golem was reduced to dust.

They are not careless in their attacks and will choose their targets selectively, preferring to kill those who are most like the chosen race or people they've been order to destroy. As shown in the image, the golem's forehead will display an engraved lettering that indicates the+ ~ golem's purpose, or a blessing that grants the golem

The lettering might be anything. An engraving of the golem's purpose or a blessing upon the golem to send it on its way. It moves with a loping shape.
