About

This human-sized automaton has been carved from wax. Its face bears no discernible features and appears as a completely smooth surface.

The tallow golem is a humanoid construct composed entirely of wax.

It stands about 6 feet tall and usually bears no facial features unless the creator chooses to render a lifelike “wax dummy,” in which case the golem can appear quite real indeed. Wizards who specialize in the creation of tallow golems refer to themselves as “chandlers.” Unlike other golem sculptors, chandlers consider their work a form of art. The golem wears whatever clothing (if any) that its creator desires, usually rags or trousers.

It has no possessions and no weapons. The golem cannot speak or utter any sound. It moves slowly, but relentlessly.

A tallow golem attacks by pounding its foes with its massive fists.
