		+
		+	==Origin==
		+	{{wikipedia\|Golem}}
		+	The ''gōlem'' is an animate, anthropomorphic being that originates from Jewish folklore, and is created entirely from inanimate matter, usually clay or mud. The most famous golem narrative is "The Golem of Prague", which tells of the late 16th century rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel and his creation of a golem using clay from the Vltava River, which he brought to life to defend the Prague ghetto from anti-Semitic attacks and pogroms. In modern popular culture, the word became generalized to refer to any crude anthropomorphic construct that is made of inanimate material and brought to life by some means, with the method of animation and the resulting creation's sapience and/or sentience varying wildly.
		+
		+	==Encyclopedia entry==
		+	The crystal golem shares the same basic [[encyclopedia]] entry with other golem monsters that lack a unique entry:
		+	{{encyclopedia\|
		+	"The original story harks back, so they say, to the sixteenth
		+	century. Using long-lost formulas from the Kabbala, a rabbi is
		+	said to have made an artificial man -- the so-called Golem -- to
		+	help ring the bells in the Synagogue and for all kinds of other
		+	menial work.
		+	"But he hadn't made a full man, and it was animated by some sort
		+	of vegetable half-life. What life it had, too, so the story
		+	runs, was only derived from the magic charm placed behind its
		+	teeth each day, that drew down to itself what was known as the
		+	`free sidereal strength of the universe.'
		+	"One evening, before evening prayers, the rabbi forgot to take
		+	the charm out of the Golem's mouth, and it fell into a frenzy.
		+	It raged through the dark streets, smashing everything in its
		+	path, until the rabbi caught up with it, removed the charm, and
		+	destroyed it. Then the Golem collapsed, lifeless. All that was
		+	left of it was a small clay image, which you can still see in
		+	the Old Synagogue." ...
