The wax golem is a new golem added in SLASH'EM and UnNetHack. Wax golems have a fire attack that can destroy potions and scrolls in open inventory, but otherwise is not a significant threat to the player.

What makes this golem significant to players is that it drops wax candles when destroyed, making wax golems potentially valuable as a non-conduct-violating source of candles in those games where Izchak's lighting store doesn't have enough candles to perform the invocation.
