Golem

Golem is a term for the unnamed species of monsters residing inside the Earth that appear in Kimblis the Blue and Neverending Light.
In Kimblis they're portrayed as mystical creatures, possessing the ability to warp short distances and telepathically throw rocks from the ground. While they can be hurt, they're only killable through unknown magic possessed by a lone little girl.
Golems are instead depicted more realistically in Neverending Light, lacking magic abilities and being more easily killed.
While most golems usually only grunt or make other noises, a few are known to speak fluent English, such as Ned and the monster in Kimblis.
==Appearance==
Golems are dark grey insect-like creatures with red, pupilless eyes.
One of their most notable features are their extremely long arms, each having 3 similarly lengthy claws that let them swipe and kill prey from a distance. Despite their crouch-like stance, golems move relatively fast, and their long legs give them a boosted lunge distance. They also have boomerang-shaped spikes on their vulnerable backs and tail to protect them. Another trait is the monster's abnormal neck, which can stretch at a whim and allow their head to freely move from one end to the other, while also seeming to function as a mouth.
The species lacks genitalia, thus they reproduce asexually. Due to their nonstop growth and ability to live for hundreds of years, the species can be found in a variety of sizes, with the largest known member's head alone being bigger than an adult human.
===Vocalizations===
==Role in Kimblis the Blue==
A single large golem serves as the game's antagonist and final boss.
After learning of a little girl who possesses powerful magic, the creature reduces an entire city to rubble to find her unsuccessfully and takes the townspeople prisoner in a nearby cave.
==Role in Neverending Light==
As a result of their asexuality making reproduction uncontrollable, golems began suffering from overpopulation and lack of food, forcing them to constantly spread outward from the center of the Earth.
Long ago forbidden from reaching the surface, golems eventually decided to escape through the Cablad Caverns, eating humans inside the popular tourist attraction and once again acting as the antagonists.
