Mithral Golem
Among the mightiest of golems, the mithral golem
stands 18 feet tall and resembles a hulking
humanoid. It is forged from mithral, the rare
and precious metal produced from ores that
can only be found in the Underdark as well
as in specific mountain ranges of Faerûn.
While most golems tend to be lumbering
and ponderous, the mithral golem is
deceptively agile and graceful.
Dwarven-Crafted Sentinels. The
mithral golems were first crafted
long ago by dwarven artificers to
solve one of their main problems
- vulnerability to dragon attack. The
dwarves needed a powerful guardian
that can withstand and repel an assault of an
adult dragon. Thus, the wealthiest and most powerful
dwarven kingdoms always have a few mithral golems
serving as sentries. The plans for creating mithral
golems were a carefully guarded secret kept by the
dwarves. However, an enterprising master thief was
able to steal and make copies of it, selling them to
the highest bidders. Despite the availability of the
knowledge to craft them, mithral golems are very
rare as they are costly and difficult to build. A few
are rumored to still stand guard over ancient and
forgotten dwarven royal crypts and treasure
vaults.
Alacritous Defender. Adventurers that first
encounter a mithral golem are often surprised
by the construct's quickness, as the mithral
golem can perform an extra action each
turn. Those unfortunate enough to be
gripped by the golem are bludgeoned or
smashed against each other.
