Demonflesh Golem
The demonflesh golem is a nightmare to behold. Its head, limbs,
and wings have been taken from various demons and are bolted,
stitched, and grafted together to form a 10-foot tall abomination. It
moves with an awkward gait but has supernatural strength that
is fueled by fiendish magic. Malice, mayhem, and murderous
thoughts churn from behind its bloodshot eyes.
Crafted in Mephistar. The first demonflesh golem was
created in the dreaded laboratories within the Citadel
of Mephistar by skilled artificers and wizards whose
souls were bound in service to Mephistopheles. The
demonflesh golems were built from the remains of
slain demons, brought in from the raging Blood War
in Avernus. Instead of elemental spirits, souls were
wrenched from captured prisoners and infused into
the golems' constructed bodies.
Unstable Weapon of War. Unleashed by its master,
a demonflesh golem can tear foes with its powerful
melee attacks, fly, and cast powerful spells. However,
it is flawed and unpredictable construct. Perhaps
due to the imperfections of the magic that binds it
or the residual memories and chaotic tendencies
of its bound demonic soul, a demonflesh golem
will sometimes suddenly run amok when badly
damaged. It breaks free of its master's control
and vents its evil wrath on anything near it until
fully repaired or until its shell of demonflesh is
destroyed. It is said that one still wanders the war-torn
battlefields of Avernus to this day. Because of this, only
a few were ever produced. Somehow, some demonflesh
golems still managed to find their way into the Material
Plane, brought by a powerful devil or sent as a gift to a
diabolical cult.
