Golem

The Golem is an enemy in Heretic. They are hulking tan humanoids that attack with their fists. Nitrogolems are more powerful Golems that have an attack where they charge up an aura of flames, and then launch a screaming fire skull that homes in on their victim and can cause up to 32 points of damage, much like a Revenant's rocket although not quite as accurate or deadly. Both the regular Golem and the Nitrogolem come in ghost versions as well. Golems and Golem Ghosts have 80 hit points, while Nitrogolems and Nitrogolem Ghosts have 100 hit points. When golems are killed, a spirit can be seen rising from their exploding corpse. Sometimes they drop a Wand Crystal, but these are only worth 4 shots instead of the usual 10. While not as strong as the sabreclaw, the golem's melee attack seems to be more powerful then the sabreclaw's one.

Some source ports refer to the Golem as "Mummy".

Regular golems first appear on The Docks; nitrogolems first appear on  The Guard Tower.
