Golem (ゴーレム Gōremu) is a Western Yōkai and within the fifth anime is a parent figure to Ko-Golem.

Appearance

Golem appears as a humanoid figure made out of gray clay, with a bulky yet stout build, with stocky arms that end in fingerless hands, below the belt the torso ends abruptly, appearing as if it was the end of a garment, under this are their short thick legs, ending with round feet. Their head consists of a small round stub above a line where the mouth would be and a pair of mounds with indents, making them resemble ears. Because they lack a neck their head rests directly on their torso. They have a dark gray belt with a long thin iron plate that is pointed on both ends attached to it with bolts and another iron plate is placed above it diagonally with the left end being higher and is secured with a pair of bolts.

Golem appeared in the Fourth Anime and the Fifth Anime notably differentiated in physical appearances. The former resembled a bulky humanoid with a face with eyes and a nose. It wore a red singlet.

Personality

Golem in the fifth series was depicted as kind-natured, but he was in pain for being enslaved as a weapon for evil and for losing his own control.
