Golem, Flesh

Flesh golems are corpses stitched together into undead beings animated with science instead of magic. Flesh golems occasionally retain threads of their previous personalities, and rarer yet, intelligent and philosophical golems sometimes develop from the sad mass of flesh they exist as. They often have a great fear of fire.
