Golems here, golems there ... golems, golems everywhere

OK, what lunatic sold Irenicus that golem making machine? We can't go 100 feet without stumbling over one or more golems. Now, there are compensations ... killing just one Adamantite golem is worth 25,000 experience ... but we do have to heal up after every such encounter. Those beggars don't go down easily. Changes the attempt to liberate the city from a fast tactical assault into a slog-fest of a siege. :*

    OK, this is getting a bit bonkers. Now they are just making stuff up. What the heck is a sand golem, and how does it even exist? All the other golems .... stone, clay, iton, adamantite .... are made from solid materials. Sand is just a bunch of loose, tiny, almost microscopic particles. How does a sand golem even stay together? Yeah, you could stick sand in a blast furnace and fuse it, but in that case what you'd end up with would be a glass golem. A rather silly concept; sounds a bit fragile to me. :D

    Did you try with Argent77 golems? Some can be tweaked; the clay golems are on steroids with the mod though. I like the small golems there, they look so cute. I suggested to him to also add tiny golems like going just to the kneecap of a dwarf but I seemed to have been too unconvincing.

    Iron golems look best there. Although perhaps there could be new golem images altogether. The vanilla golems look a bit boring after the golem-mod.

    Edit: For those not knowing where it is, it is here: https://github.com/Argent77/A7-GolemConstruction

    Maggot golem is fun but I hate that it will vanish. :(

    I like the Wax Golems in Bloodied Stings of Barovia. And of course, the Iron Golems in IWD look way better!

    I do think it makes perfect sense for a powerful mage to make as many golems as he can, they’re powerful but mindless automatons to do his bidding.

    In D&D, golems can made from just about anything you can imagine. ;) There are Sand Golems, Mud Golems, Coral Golems, Rope Golems, Brain Golems, Zombie Golems, even Hellfire Golems (that are literally golems made out of fire).
