Magnetized clay is knit together by circuitry that traces colossal and familiar features: [Body]. A bright mixture of primordial soup and [Catalyst] courses through their glass arteries, and in its soft light their posture evokes the presence of [Atzmus] Diamondlike metachrome limbs are sculpted in the way of [Armament], and in the position of prominence on their body, they bear the sacred amulet of [Hasma].
The Golem is a being crafted from a Mound of scrap and clay by Pax Klanq, its appearance, skills, attributes, and abilities are determined by the components that the player provides for its creation.
The Golem will always have room within its body for the player and one companion. The player can pilot the Golem by sitting in the Pilot seat.
The Golem will act as a companion to the player when not piloted, it will act at 50% quickness.

Catalyst

Atzmus
Atzmus transcendental imprint of being. Pattern trait after creature part, crossed with Body.
The Player must provide a body part of any kind. It can be sourced from a plant, animal, or robot creature. The type of part does not effect the Golem (Head, Face, Hands, etc), only the being it was sourced from.
Mutations
If an Atzmus is sourced from a creature with viable Mutations, the Golem will gain said mutation.
(Night vision, which every NPC has, is not one of the Mutations that cannot be aquired via Atzmus)
Variable Mutations
Some creatures will have differing mutations from one run to another, and will therefore have differing effects on your Golem.
| Creature Source | Possible Mutations | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Disciple of the Sightless Way | One Random Mental Mutation at level 1-4 | |
| Goatfolk qlippoth, Mamon Souldrinker | Syphon Vim at level 1, One Random Mental Mutation at level 1-4, one Random Physical Mutation at level 1-4 | Qlippoths and Mamon draw from the same static choices that are chosen on world generation, and will therefore give the same Mutations as one another each run. They will always have Syphon Vim |
| Psyberneticist | Three Random Mental Mutations at level 1-4 | |
| Svardym eld | Two random Mental Mutations at level 8-10 | |
| Glow-wight apotheote | Four Physical Mutations at level 9-12 |
Stat Bonuses
If a Creature does not have a Mutation(or only has Night Vision) its Atzmus will instead grant the Golem a +5 increase to whichever stat was the Creature's highest.
Armament
Zetachrome weapon. Attune Creature to the martial art and shape metachrome fist-types in the fashion after.
A Zetachrome weapon must be provided to arm the Golem. The weapon type will shape the creature's Natural Weapons, as well as grant them the full skill tree associated with said weapon.
Notes: Arrows are not a valid Zetachrome weapon, Psionic weapons are valid as long as they are Zetachrome.
Incantation
Words spoken from your experience and inscribed to form being-bond. First sounds heard in Creature's early dreambrain.
-Pax Klanq, on the Incantation
The Player must choose a passage from their Journal to speak to the Golem, these will be the first sounds the Golem hears, and will (presumably) shape the Golem's psyche.

| Three drams of Neutron flux |

Tips
 |
This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary. |
- It is possible to prevent the use of the normal staircase Barathrum's Study by using the Chrome key as a Hamsa. It is advisable to use a security card or Bethesda Susa key if one desires a Phasing Golem, lest you have to use the northwest staircase and dig into the study, or use a spiral borer to create a new staircase.
Trivia
- It was briefly impossible to create a Tree Golem, as using a Tree follower to fufill the Body requirement resulted in a Golem Oddity. This was a bug and has since been patched.
