The '''Golem''' is a recurring enemy in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in the first game as a boss, it has since appeared in several other installments of the series, primarily as a normal enemy.

~~'''~~Golem~~''' is~~ a ~~recurring enemy and boss~~ in the '~~'[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series~~.

==Characteristics==

Golems are hulking man-shaped monsters made of clay bricks. This sums up most of their appearance with their face being the only other detail: a mouth-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 stuck with the monster as one of its more unfortunate qualities.

==Appearances==

===''[[Dragon Quest]]''===

The Golem guards the town of [[Cantlin|Cantlin/Mercado]] and must be defeated before that town may be entered. It can be put to sleep with a fairy flute to make the battle easier.

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===

The first reappearance of the Golem since it was introduced in the original game. While they do not appear until much later on, Golems are one of the monsters the [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|Hero]] is able to tame and can prove to be a devastating physical attacker when properly honed.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===

A Golem stands guard in front of the tower of the first sealed region the player goes to. Strangely, when they are encountered as normal enemies they go by the name '''Golemuga''' but are essentially the same monster.

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===

~~The Golem is an optional boss that~~ can ~~be found~~ in the ~~ruins on the southern continent~~.

While normal Golems do not appear until later on in the story, the player can find a wandering one in the Maella region that they can recruit for their monster team.

===''[[Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors]]''===

The Golem is the boss of [[Galantyne Glades]].

=== '''''~~<u>~~Dragon Quest Monsters~~: Joker</u>~~''''' ===

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''===

~~Golem is the boss in the first shrine. Upon victory, the Incarnus evolves into a stronger form.~~

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters 2]]''===

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart]]''===

==~~Variants~~==

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]''===

Golems are rank A members of the material family, but not the top A monster of that group. A Golem acts as the sentinel of the Xeroph Isle shrine and must be defeated in order to help the [[Incarnus]] reach its goal.

==Etymology==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem Golems] are beings from Jewish folklore, often portrayed as servants animated from clay that obediently carry out orders but often to warped or far too literal extents.
