    Your links are all broken unfortunately, it doesn't like the parentheses . :-) instead of just pasting them, use the post URL button and paste the URL into the box.

    this kinda reminds me of this time a homebrew golem went wrong:

    Counter Monkey - The Age of Manure

    Any Golem that has been created with the living brain or spirit of an intelligent humanoid, with the influence of the dark desires and obsession of its creator and/or dark forces and entities can become a Dread Golem. Dread Golems, unlike regular Golems, are self-aware and indipendent, and can have an high intelligence score.
    That sounds a lot like the Homunculi and the golden dragon from Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke.

    The idea is, that some crazy alchemist tried to create life in the middle ages, but all he could pull off was to borrow the life of a living creature and build a new creature around it. As it is revealed in the end, the creature is still alive inside the creature (in some kind of state of suspended animation, as it seems).

    Fliegenbein/ Twigleg - He is a so called Homunculus who looks like a tiny humanoid with very thin arms and legs. I don't think it's ever mentioned what creature his life is borrowed from, but given his name I am guessing it's a fly. He used to have 12 (?) brothers, but they where all eaten by ...

    Nesselbrand/ Nettlebrand - He is an artificial dragon. Most noticable, he is much larger than regular dragons (silver dragons) and is golden. His magical golden scales are so heavy, that he can't fly but thanks to the creature his life was borrowed from - a frog (or was it a toad? It has been ages since I read that book) - he gains the power to essentially "teleport" through water. How exactly he does it is never explained, but for as long as there is a body of water somewhere, he can go there (there is one scene where he shows up in a well ... and he completely demolishes it in the process because he is way too large). He can also use water surfaces for effectively video calls. And breath under water, obviously.

    It doesn't seem that the creatures inside them influence their personality and level of intelligence (like for example Shale from Dragon Age), but instead influence their powers somehow.

    I would love to see something like the Canim from the Codex Alera series (amazing novels!)

    Dogmen? Wolfmen? Bah! Humbug.

    We've got Hyenamen. They're twice as cool. :P
