Stone golems of man-like shape are constructed by means of a magical tome or a MU of 16th or higher level employing the following spells:
wish, polymorph any object, geas, and slow.
The cost in materials is 1,OOO gold pieces per HP, and it requires 2 months construction time.

Once created the stone golem can be controlled by its creator, and it will
understand and obey simple commands, i.e. attack, stop, wait, go, etc. The
golem can be made to stand and wait to attack until someone does
something to trigger the golem.

In addition to its normal attack, the stone golem is able to cast a slowspell
on any opponent within 1” of its front facing every other melee round.

The strength of a stone golem is twice that of a flesh golem. It does 1 point
of structural damage every other melee round.


<^ not a standard stone golem ^>

Normal weapons do not harm stone golems. In fact, it requires weapons of
+2 or greater enchantment to damage them.

Magic Resistance: The only spells which affect a stone golem are:
rock to mud slows the golem 50% for 2-12 melee rounds,
mud to rock restores all damage suffered by the golem,
and stone to flesh makes the golem vulnerable to normal attacks on the following melee round.
