Golem Encyclopedia

Stone Golem.

A hahakigami is a type of tsukumogami that comes from a broom or sweeping brush. Traditionally, brooms were used in purification ceremonies, clearing out evil spirits and negative energy. Sometimes, after enough years have passed, these brooms can take on life, becoming tsukumogami.

Generally considered benevolent, hahakigami are often used as charms to aid in a safe and swift childbirth. They can sometimes be seen on windy autumn mornings, sweeping at the fallen leaves.

Golem, Nest CR 7 N Construct This humanoid figure is comprised of a papery material woven into a humanoid shape. Wasps buzz around it in a corona and crawl over its body.

Nest golems are created using the remains of beehives, termite mounds and wasp nests, and then filled with magically conjured wasps. Nest golems are much more nimble than most such constructs, and they are capable of crowd control with their aura of stinging, venomous insects. Any creature struck by a nest golem is simultaneously stung by a host of vermin. These constructs are as likely to be created by druids as any other type of spellcaster, and can be found guarding temples of gods to which wasps or bees are sacred.

Constructing a Nest Golem A nest golem requires a wooden frame to be constructed and anointed with rare oils worth 1000 gp, which is then used as a scaffold for the various nests. CL 8th; Price 21,000 gp Construction Requirements Craft Construct, cat’s grace, insect plague, minor creation, poison, creator must be caster level 8th; Skill Craft (woodworking) DC 15; Cost 11,000 gp

I finally completed my set of Regi fakemon! Took a hell of a long time but I’m super happy with each design!
