The '''golem''' is a recurring {{Material}} {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|first game]] as a boss, it has since appeared in several other installments of the series, primarily as a normal enemy.

Golems are hulking man-shaped {{MFamilies}}s made of clay bricks. This sums up most of their appearances with their face being the only other detail: a slit-like opening with two eyes glowing from the darkness.

Since the appearance of the first golem the species has solidified itself as a hefty force of physical might but one that lacks in resistance to spells. One of the most notable vulnerabilities of the golem is that of {{Sleep}}-inducing abilities, an Achilles' heel that made the first golem easy to defeat and has since, for the most part, stuck with the {{MFamilies}} as one of its more unfortunate qualities.

|description=Risen from the remnants of a magnificent ancient city. A visceral nostalgia for the days of old led bricks from the ruins to spontaneously reassemble themselves in [[human]] form.
