Golem
From Harath Rules
Intro
A golem has a body made from some material (Stone, Flesh, Clay, and Iron are the most popular), frequently stylized to suit its creator. For example, it might look like it is wearing armor, with a particular symbol carved on the breastplate, or have designs worked into the stone of its limbs. Its head is often carved to resemble a helmet or the head of some beast. While it may be sculpted to carry a stone shield or stone weapon such as a sword, these aesthetic choices do not affect its combat abilities.
Golems cannot speak and makes no sound other than the sound of the material they are made of hitting the ground as they walk. Golems can be as small as the creator wants or as large.

1Stinger includes a venom (Dex-10-20). After 20 segments, the venom will begin affecting the victim. Each turn the venom attacks. Initially it attacks with 10 dice. The victim resists with their Con. If the victim wins, then they reduce the potency of the venom by the amount of extrasuccesses. Each turn after the Latency period, the potency of the poison drops byone, and it’s effects are rerolled.
Behavior
Wyverns are aggressive and not greatly intelligent. They are not averse to attacking anything less powerful than themselves. Their sleek, strong legs proved very useful for an attack. When fighting these creatures will dive down from above, grabbing prey with their claws and then attempt to sting them. Their tails are so long that opponents are typically struck by a wyvern's tail before their legs.
Ecology
Wyverns can be both solitary and group animals. They do not have a strong odor, although their lairs often can be tracked by following the smell of their recent kills. They are typically found in tangled forests, rocky outcroppings or large caverns.
