Flesh Golem in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Flesh Golem
Favored more so by necromancers than by the typical artisans that create golems, flesh golems are constructed out of a multitude of corpses instead of the typical minerals used to craft golems. The elemental spirit bound inside flesh golems is the most willing to escape, causing them to go berserk from time to time.
