The '''Clay golem''' is a [[golem]] found in the remains of the ruined city of [[Uzer]], and is the last surviving life-form there. It starts "[[The Golem]]" [[quest]], and also has an important role in the [[Shadow of the Storm]], in which it helps the player by replacing one of the cultists who was killed with the re-summoning of [[Agrith-Naar]], allowing the player to kill the demon.

== History ==
The Golem is one of the last survivors of its race (though there are a few other golems found in [[Ullek]] and the [[Uzer Mastaba]]), as they were wiped out in the [[God Wars]] by the [[Elder-Demon]] [[Thammaron]], a commander of [[Zamorak]], and his armies. This clay golem was part of an army of clay golems that were created to fight in the [[Battle of Uzer]], mortally wounded Thammaron, who later died of his injuries in the [[Infernal Dimensions]], though all the other golems, Uzer itself, and the [[human]] inhabitants of the city, were killed in the battle.

=== Today ===
Remarkably, the Golem survived the battle and remained in the city of Uzer for thousands of years, until the settlement became visited again in the [[Fifth Age]]. A famous [[player|adventurer]] discovered the Golem, which was badly damaged from years of being exposed to the sun and sandstorms of the [[Kharidian Desert]]. After repairing the Golem, which still believed it had to kill Thammaron, and writing a [[scroll]] and placing it in the back of the Golem's head, the adventurer made the Golem understand that its mission had been completed.

== Trivia ==
* Interestingly, it seems to follow [[Wikipedia:Three Laws of Robotics|Isaac Asimov's First Law of Robotics]], meaning that it cannot harm a human or allow a human to come to harm. This is because in mythology (usually), golems were constructs that were animated solely by magic for a specific purpose. This makes golems much like modern robots, albeit made of weaker materials (though metals were still used for golems), which seems to accurately describe the Clay golem.
* The clay golem bears many resemblances to the golems of author Terry Prachett's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld Discworld] series. Both are baked from clay by ancient civilizations and controlled by scrolls placed inside their heads.
* Before starting the quest "The Golem", it appears severely damaged. Afterwards, it is returned to its original appearance.
