Sand Golem

The Sand Golem is an enemy from Final Fantasy IX found in Cleyra's Trunk.
==Stats==
== Battle ==
Sand Golem cannot be killed by attacking it directly, because when its HP reaches 0, it will only become immobilized for a short period of time. The way to defeat the Sand Golem for good is to destroy the Core within it.
The Golem can counter both magic and physical moves if the Core is attacked, so immobilizing the Sand Golem first avoids the counter. However, the Core will revive the Golem after a brief period of time. The Sand Golem uses the Fira spell for its regular attack, and a physical counter when the Core is attacked.

== Behind the scenes ==
Design documentation provides a backstory for many of the monsters depicted within Final Fantasy IX, including the Sand Golem. Final Fantasy Ultimania Archive, Volume 2 states that it is a defense device worthy of being called the masterpiece of the alcehmist Uekat , one of several such devices, along with the Water Golems, Air Golems, and Magma Golems. However, only Sand Golems appear within the game because only the instructions for creating them were passed down within Cleyra.
