Gotta admit, this is a really neat design for a golem!

Thanks a lot! I was told to avoid the metal robot look, if I could, so I went with something a bit more abstract :b So I started with, "How can I turn a Jacob's ladder into a creature?"

I knew that middle part looked familiar somehow! I couldn't quite place it, though.

Hehe, yeah. Sort of ended up being the driving force behind adding all those spiky bits to him, and giving him "prong" hands. Figured he could sort of use them like a tazer/shock rod or something, haha. Maybe the little spines on his "hands" can shoot off and stun things?

Could see that and a Palpatine-esque constant flow of electricity.

Yeah, haha, brutal :b Art director figured it would make the lightning golem not particularly lethal, but I think she's underestimating how dangerous electricity can really be! Just ask Luke, haha.

Even more dangerous if you're decked head-to-toe in metal armor.

Hah, yes. Should deal extra damage if you're wearing/using anything metal :b

That would give wizards a huge advantage here, with their lack of armor and possible elemental resistance. Maybe this creature's special ability could be that armor's effects are reversed, so that a plus-"x" armor bonus to defense would become a minus-"x" penalty to defense instead.

Also, just by looking at him, I can practically hear this guy. ZZZTZZAZAZZZTBZZZ!

Haha, brutal, and interesting :b Since he's sorta electromagnetic-themed, call it "reverse polarity" or something :V

Reverse polarity of the neutron flow?

But yeah, Doctor Who references aside, that name for it works quite a lot.

To be honest. It's not even just electricity. It's lightning. If anything, it's deadlier.

Look at it like this: A car battery has at least 12 watts of power that can be expended over a period of 50 to 60 hrs.
That can be used to torture and kill someone if exposed long enough.
A lightning bolt has anywhere from 10 billion to 500 trillion watts of power that expends in the span of ten milliseconds.

Now the car battery can obviously put-out longer than the lightning bolt, but it releases significantly less energy.
The lightning bolt is instantaneous, but releases WAY more energy at once. Not only electrical energy, but heat, both kinetic and seismic in the
form of thunder.

A constant arc, unlike Emperor Palpatine's, would in fact kill anything it touched and maybe even destroy the golem itself.
A constant arc being blasted out would not only fry whatever it touched, but also burn/melt/incinerate and shatter solid rock and
organs (due to near constant vibrations generated) of anything within a growing area, depending on how long the current was maintained,
around the arc.

Assuming a constant arc of lightning is available to this creature, that may in fact be all it would need. And on top of that, it would make
the golem one of the deadliest things in the game

I'd expect the environment in which this particular creature lives to be littered with rubble and patches of melted rock and earth
along with scorch marks over most surfaces along witch incinerated corpses of any living thing that wandered near.

You said that you think they underestimate electricity, but I say they underestimate Lightning.

Badass <3

People generally ask me how I know so much.
I often reply with, "I know a thing or two, about a thing or two", or, "I get bored easily"

Cool! This is a really good looking creature :)

Thanks a lot!

I can see how this one ended up as a bad guy. Probably not a lot of job opportunities for him! He'd make a pretty awful waiter. Or computer technician. Or gynecologist.

lol!

Want...Lol came out super epic.

Hehe, thanks a lot, glad you think so!

thats freakin dope. best golem design ive ever seen

Wow, thanks so much! Glad you like it :)
