| Reference | monst.c#line2252 |
The stone golem is a golem. It may come about after another type of golem is stoned[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].
When a stone golem is killed, it leaves a statue (of a stone golem) rather than a corpse[17]. The contents of the statue is from the killed stone golem's inventory[18] which is likely empty; the stone golem never picks up items, and it is mindless and has no items when generated. it is generated, so it is unlikely to be worth breaking the statue for a spellbook. A randomly generated statue of stone golem in dungeon may still contain one spellbook.
Casting stone to flesh on the "animated" stone golem will turn it into a flesh golem. Stoning this flesh golem will turn it back to a stone golem. Casting stone to flesh on its statue will create a single meatball, because the golem is not considered a fleshy monster.
Stone golems are always generated with 60 hit points.[19][20]
Encyclopedia 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." ...
