Unique golems

Several unique monsters in dNetHack are golems:

• Arsenal, guardian of the Second Key of Law
• Center of All, guardian of the First Key of Neutrality

Changes to existing golems

• Straw golems drop sheaves of hay when destroyed (as in the biodiversity patch and Nethack brass).
• Iron golems may drop iron bars in addition to iron chains.
