Blood golem

Blood golems,Attuned Crystal also known as anima golems, are mechanical creations of Archritualist Kelada, under the Thunder King's command, and were forged in the Throne of Thunder. They were made animate through anima, a vital substance used by the Mogu in their flesh-shaping rituals. The small golems serve the great Dark Animus. After its defeat, the blood elves acquired the Dark Animus' power source and began empowering blood golems of their own.
