Gold Golems are level 5 neutral creatures recruited from the Golem Factory but only when found on the adventure map.

"Like the Stone and Iron Golems found in Tower towns, diamond and gold golems are highly crafted statues animated through magic..." ^{RoE manual}

User commentary

[Show user commentary] [Hide user commentary]

Spells only do 15% of their normal damage to them. They are quite slow, but their substantial health points and Spell damage resistance makes them very durable. Their overall stats are under-average for a level 5 unit, but it's understandable since they are neutral creatures. If you have a stable access to their dwelling and enough resources, you might consider placing them into a town's garrison (but beware of morale).
