A Golem is a creature created by inanimate matter. The name appears to come from the word 'gelem' which means 'raw material', the word Golem means 'fool', 'silly' and even 'stupid'.
These creatures are said to be controlled by the eye that is in their forehead, which is controlled using a mirror, globe or bowl or water and a scroll with runes on it is inserted into the creature to animate it.
After the scroll is removed, it will return to it's master with little power to keep it alive until it starts to fall apart.
