Rock Golem

Rock golems are semi-sentient beings that live primarily underground.

Size: 3-4 feet tall

Body: They almost all have distended potbellies. Rock golems are covered in thick, earth-colored scales. They have short pairs of ram's horns jutting out from the top of their scull and curling into tight spirals as they mature.

Rock golems are four-fingered, five-toed. They're largely hairless and bald, except sprouts of stiff whiskers on either side of their noses. Rock golems are poor sighted but use a keen sense of smell to locate darkglass which they munch constantly.

Rock golems domesticate trillings: housecat-sized cockraoches that accompany them undergorund in their search for darkglass and other minerals and ores. The relationship is a symbiotic one, as trilligs emit a high pitched squeak when close to large mineral deposits.

Rock golems use pickaxes, hammers, and spades to mine.

Their domestic life is only semi-organized; they set up nomadic camps around larger deposits and defend the camps when necessary. However, due to the abundance of darkglass, rock golem tribes rarely come into conflict with each other when mining.

Language: Terran.
