 A '''straw golem''', {{monsym|straw golem}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. The straw golem is one of the weakest types of [[golem]] in the [[monster class]], and is likely to be the first one a [[hero]] encounters.

 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.
-The straw golem is primarily based on a "straw man", a humanoid dummy that is either made entirely out of straw material, or consists of straw stuffed into clothes.

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 from clay gathered at the banks of the Vltava River, which he brought to life to defend the Prague ghetto from anti-Semitic attacks and pogroms. Golems in this and various other tales are inscribed with Hebrew words that animate them; one particular example is the word ''emét'' (אמת, "truth" in Hebrew), which could be used to deactivate the golem by removing the ''aleph'' (א) from the word, changing the inscription to ''mét'' (מת, "dead").
