A mud golem is a bane to weapon-wielding foes as any melee weapon that
strikes the construct's body can become
stuck fast if the attacker is not strong
enough to pull it back out. Any creature
caught by the golem's powerful limbs
will soon find themselves getting
smothered to death within the mud
golem's body.
Often mistaken for an earth elemental, the mud golem is a
magical construct created for its amorphous nature and ability
to appear as natural heaps of mud, making it ideal as an
inconspicuous guardian in outdoor settings, such as a wizard's
courtyard or garden.
