Gold golem (Recurring)

Dragon Quest monster Gold Golem

Art by Akira Toriyama Japanese ゴールドマン Romaji Gōrudo Man First appearance Dragon Quest Old localisation GoldMan

The Gold golem is summed up by its name: it is a golem made out of gold bricks. Typically, it is the go-to monster for amassing quick cash, usually being the weakest in the golem family. This is appropriate, as gold is one of the softest metals.

Characteristics

Great gleaming golden giants that smack and smash enemies with granite-tough fists of fury. Their metal bodies are massively tough, giving them time to save their strength for extra hard hits that can take out enemies in a single strike.

Gold golem appears as an A-rank monster of the Inorganic family, first appearing as enemies in the game during the limited Dragon Quest event, as well as in the daily Gold Quest: Advanced and Ultra missions. They could eventually be scouted during the limited A Winter Wonderland with the Ice Witch limited event alongside Santa Krystalinda on her banner. It can participate in the Jolly sasquash's banner as a party member.
