' Golems are a class of monsters in NetHack. As they are inanimate objects given life, their corpses are sometimes useful or valuable objects, especially in the case of paper and gold golems. Because they are artificial constructs, golems cannot be genocided.

Generation
Golems are randomly generated, and an appropriate golem can also arise when trying to polymorph large piles of objects at once, depending on the object material -- see the table above. (Clay and stone golems can be produced by the same objects; one is chosen at random. Polypiling many bone objects, such as unicorn horns, can produce a skeleton, which is not a golem.)
Stone golems can be created by stoning any of the other golems (e.g. with a cockatrice corpse). Stone golems themselves are stoning resistant, since it would be rather odd if stoning could kill them.
Casting stone to flesh at a stone golem or a statue of any golem will turn it into a flesh golem. Flesh golems are weaker in combat than stone golems, and their corpses can give almost any resistance in the game.
Mythology
Golems are creatures from ancient Jewish folklore. They are not derived from Gollum in The Lord of the Rings. The legendary golem was made of clay, but the word has also been used to describe similar creatures made from other materials.
Although the encyclopedia entry for gold golem describes their mythological counterparts as female, the NetHack monster is neuter.
