Clay Golems

When clay and earth are shaped into a bulky humanoid form, a skilled golemancer might see fit to call forth a minor spirit of elemental earth to trap within it and provide the golem with its spark of life. 
A clay golem stands head and shoulders taller than most human-sized creatures. Strong magics are woven into their limbs by their makers, such that their enemies are slow to heal from wounds inflicted by the golem, if they heal at all. 
A clay golem follows instructions given by their creator or current master to the letter, lacking any capability of reasoning themselves. However, clay is a transient substance to inhabit, and when cracks and wear appear on the form, the elemental spirit trapped within can begin to thrash in its cage, sending the golem wild and turning it heedless to any command.
