Bestiary: Clay Golem

Here's my version of a Clay Golem, which probably qualifies as a Pottery Golem in other interpretations of Golems.  In my game world wet-clay Golems become Flesh Golems as that's a magical echo of the mythical Creation of Man.  Another thing to note is that a stiched-together reanimated corpse is a form of Zombie, not a Golem at all.

CLAY GOLEM

Clay Golems are hollow, not solid, and are made of fired clay.  A golem made with wet clay becomes a Flesh Golem instead.
