Useful Info

The bizarre toenail golem is a moderately powerful construct, a step below stone golems in terms of power. They are not terribly dangerous, only posing a threat to flimsy elemental casters caught in melee with them for too long. They are extremely rare, but are slightly more common in the Volcano.

Tips & Tricks

  • They have resistance to all elemental attacks, so use physical damage or non-elemental Conjurations if you've got them.
