Web golems are a type of golem constructed out of thick layers of webbing from monstrous spiders . [1]
Description
Web golems have a vaguely humanoid form with a stumpy head. The two features that stand out among the webbing material they are primarily composed of are a pair of sharp mandibles and eight spider-like eyes. Their bodies give off no distinct scent. [1]
Abilities
Like other golems, they have total resistance to many kinds of magic and spells . The spell web notably has no affect on them and they are capable of casting it themselves.
Because of the material they are composed of, a web golem's body has a remarkable adhesive quality that can easily entrap an opponent's weapons. Their webbing bodies also allow them to move across ceilings and vertical surfaces, much like a spider, and to blend in among the webbing of giant spiders. [1]
Combat
The tactics of web golems are similar to those of a spider: preferring to hide on high ceilings from prey, then waiting for the right moment to ambush them with the web spell and pounce down. Once in close quarters, web golems either slam opponents with their fists or bite them with their poisonous mandibles. [1]
Ecology
In Xen'drik , giants were known to install web golems in their vaults as guardians and many are believed to still linger in the ancient giant ruins on that continent. [1]
Creation
Creating a web golem is a complex task that requires some experience in either weaving or silk-making. The material needed to construct their bodies costs around 1,000 gp. [1]
