Ice Golem
An ice golem is a 10-foot tall, hulking figure that resembles a
beautifully sculpted ice statue of an armored warrior. Said to be
carved by frost dwarves from glacial ice and infused with magic
and the spirit of an ice paraelemental by frost mages, the ice
golem is a chilling dreadnought designed to serve its creator.
Chilling Foe. The ice golem can batter opponents with
powerful blows. When facing multiple enemies, the ice
golem can unleash an icy breath. Those caught within the
devastating cone of its breath become frozen and encased
in ice. Even if its foes manage to destroy the ice golem, it
would still have to avoid its death burst - an explosion of
razor-sharp icy shards and numbing cold.
Cold Dweller. An ice golem is almost always encountered
in regions of cold climates, for anything warmer could
cause it to melt. They are often used as bodyguards and
sentries by frost mages and powerful clerics of Auril and
Thrym, who take advantage of the golem's ability to absorb
cold, enabling it to repair itself.
