>>33316094Golems as in the Israeli ones
Golems as in the philosophical concept ones?
Golems as in the Homunculos ones?
or Golems as in the Animated Rock Entity ones?
Lot to sift through there when it comes to that line of mythical creature.
A Golem, in the broadest sense" is an empty vessel made of earth material (rocks, mud, clay, metal, flesh) that is created and often controlled by an external person.
So, with the Israeli Golem, it was a 20 foot Mud/Rock Creature with the word Shem written on its forehead. The Golem would do the bidding of the "Master" then revert to its normal form. It would really depend on the Master with that.
A Golum in a philosophical sense is the idea of Dumb Flesh, Intelligent Self that is more commonly known as Descartes Theory of Dualism or in Modern Terms: The Ghost in the Shell theory. The Golum is your Flesh, its Master your Conscious Self controlling it. Again, what the Flesh does is up to you, so it can be a dick, if you are a dick.
A Golum in the sense of a Homunculos is Empty Flesh given Animation. Frankenstein's Monster is an example of this, works exactly the same why as the Israeli Golem does, to an extent. If the GiTS theory is to be believed, the animated Flesh would literally be like Frankenstein's monster, as in "ENH RAR FIRE BAD." It can also be theorized in the Homunculus Golem field that you could "Pull an entity" into the empty vessal (popular in many cults), which would then be a version of Summoning and Goleming, however The Master in that instance would be the entity put into the Empty Vessel, so most likely a huge dick. Frankenstein's Monster was kind of a dick too, if you were actually able to animate Dead and Dumb Flesh, you would just have a retarded Flesh Golem, which could be a dick if you want to make it one.
As per the final category, Animated Rocks/Mud that naturally happen. They just want to be left alone, they won't be dicks unless you are a dick to them.
