Anatomy
Obsidian golems are often carved in a bipedal form, with two arms, two legs and a head. Being made of obsidian, they are black in coloration. This material also makes them immune to earth magic and offers some degree of protection against fire. The obsidian also makes any edge on the golem very sharp and every single limb is a deadly weapon more than capable of slicing a human to ribbons.
Like all golems, they are animated by a powerful Mist core, which provides some protection against spells.
