Special Traits

• Fire Absorption. Whenever the golem is subjected to fire damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to the fire damage dealt. However, if it fails its saving throw against a fire spell that deals at least 20 points of damage, it must make a Constitution saving throw against the same DC. If this save fails, its cannon immediately backfires, dealing 6d6 bludgeoning damage to the golem (this bypasses its damage immunity).
• Immutable Form. The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
• Magic Resistance. The golem has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
• Magic Weapons. The golem’s weapon attacks are magical.

Actions

• Multiattack. A cannon golem has a magical cannon built into one arm rather than wielding a sword. It makes two melee fist attacks or one fist attack and one cannon attack.
• Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d8+7 bludgeoning damage).
• Cannon. Ranged Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 33 (4d12 + 7) bludgeoning damage. When a cannon golem hits a target with its cannon, it can make a Strength (Athletics) check as a bonus action to shove that target, pushing it away and forcing it prone on a successful check. It has advantage on this check if the target is Medium or smaller.
• Cannonade (Recharge 6). The golem shoots a cannon blast that fills a 60-foot line or a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Reactions

• Cannon Punch (1/Turn). When a cannon golem scores a critical hit with its slam attack, as a bonus action it can make a cannon attack against the same target. It cannot use this ability if it already has made a ranged cannon attack or cannonade on the same turn.

About

A cannon golem is a technomagical construct enchanted into a massive heap of jagged metal in a humanoid form, its enormous cannon tracking movement with mechanical precision. A cannon golem’s internal workings are a mechanical labyrinth; its extradimensional pockets constantly process new black powder to fire its arcane weapon. A cannon golem stands 12 feet tall and weighs around 8,000 pounds.
