Races & CreaturesNotable Monsters & Summons
Golems are magical constructs that act on their master's orders; Gargantua is a strategic siege golem over 30 m tall that serves as the 4th Floor's Guardian.
- Golems (constructs) need no food or sleep and are immune to instant death, mental attacks, and critical hits; in YGGDRASIL, their strength depends on the value of their metal, the maker's skill, and their data crystals.
- Golem-making has not been mastered in the New World; even the weakest wood golem takes several high-tier mages a year to make, so golems are expensive and rare.
- Gargantua: a strategic siege golem that genuinely exists within YGGDRASIL's rules; since there was nowhere else to put it, it was sunk into the 4th Floor's underground lake and given Guardian status.
- Luci★Fer set out to make golems of the seventy-two pillar demons of the "Lesser Key of Solomon" (Lemegeton) from ultra-rare metals, but got bored after making 67.
- Avatara: golems modeled on the Forty-One Supreme Beings' appearances, wearing their equipment in the Treasury's mausoleum.
- The Sorcerer Kingdom has stone golems working day and night in Carne Village; stone golems also guard the entrance to the Ministry of Magic.
- Nazarick golem examples: a rare-metal golem used to open doors in the library (Vol. 8 p. 299), lion golems in the bathhouse that speak in Luci★Fer's voice and attack rule-breakers (Vol. 8 p. 424), and earth golems in the 6th Floor's amphitheater (Vol. 1 p. 84)
- In the Web novel, the "Silver Golem Cockroach" Kyouhukou rides is made of ultra-rare metal plated with star silver, with Lv70 strength (Web "Ball-1")
- One account: Gargantua has a red "core" (?) (Vol. 4 p. 335); the author said in an Arcadia comment reply that it has not been modified in any strange way (related to speculation about the Caloric Stone's use)
