A spell golem:
| |
A spell golem, ', is a type of monster that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. The spell golem is a type of golem that is a stronger variation of the paper golem with spellcasting abilities, as well as standard golem traits: it is thick-skinned, amphibious and incapable of regenerating HP.
A spell golem has a claw attack and the ability to cast one mage spell during each of its turns, and possesses sleep resistance, poison resistance and death resistance like all golems.
Generation
Randomly generated spell golems are always hostile. Spell golems always generate with 20 HP.
Spell golems drop up to 8 random scrolls upon death in place of a corpse: each scroll type has an equal probability of being dropped, and never includes blank paper, ward, warding, antimagic, or resistance scrolls or any scrolls that are not randomly generated (e.g. scrolls of mail).
Encyclopedia entry
The spell golem shares the following encyclopedia entry with other golem monsters that lack their own entry:
"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." ...
