Golems are constructs magically crafted to act as mindless servants for their creator. There are many different types of golem, usually based on the material they were crafted out of.[1] The dragons of Argonnessen often use golems as servants, and showcases of their arcane power.[2]
House Cannith initially crafted crude war golems prior to the start of the Last War for King Jarot ir'Wynarn.[3] However, these creations were too expensive to mass-produce and subsequently surpassed by the warforged titans and the warforged.[4][5][6]
