[[Baron Teufel]] brought a pair of experimental of golems, known as Hans and Greta, to earth in the early 19th century. Unlike other golems, Hans and Greta were capable of learning and adapting. They also appeared human, appeared to age, and even believed themselves to ''be'' human.

Golems and are outlawed by Article XII of the [[Galactic Law|Galactic Code]]. ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Beast of Orlok]]'')
 
==Valnaxi golem==
The [[Valnaxi]] created a biologically modified species of golem as defenders of Valnaxi art. These golems took over any lifeform they come into contact with and turned that lifeform into a living statue of [[gold]].
 
The golems, however, could only extend themselves to a certain number of lifeforms, so there are a limited number of them. Any life taken over by a golem immediately becomes another golem to become a guard. When fighting [[Wurm]]s, however, golems are easily destroyed by modified [[insectoid]] creatures in the mud shot by the Wurms. Golem victims include a miner and a vulture who stumbled upon a golem in the 22nd century. ([[NSA]]: ''[[The Art of Destruction]]'')
 
==Behind the scenes==
The name "[[wikipedia:Golem|Golem]]" comes from Jewish folklore, in which it is a man-like creature made from mud or clay.
