Golem/Fablehaven

**True Golems** were once actual, living creatures made out of stone, mud, or sand, but all except Hugo have long since passed out of Human knowledge. Manufactured Golems, also of, stone, mud, or sand, were fashioned after the original Golem but are mindless puppets who exist only to carry out orders.

Hugo, the Golem at Fablehaven, has been mentioned at least once in all of the *Fablehaven* and *Dragonwatch Series*.

Dullions are sloppier versions of the Golem.

**Hugo** is a Golem, a servant made of natural materials that granted the semi-balance of life by a powerful Spell. He is ancient, having been donated to the preserve a couple hundred years before the events of *Fablehaven*. As a Golem, Hugo must follow orders given to him by those with the authority to do so. Hugo performs much of the hard labor around Fablehaven including, milking Viola, the preserve's milch cow, caring for the Stables, and tending to various fields and other produce. He never sleeps and is a fast learner, which enables him to do many things in one night. As a huge being completely loyal to the Sorensons and their friends, Hugo has taken on the role of family protector and transporter, often taking characters to various spots on the preserve. When Ruth Sorenson accompanied by Seth and Kendra go the Forgotten Chapel to rescue Stan Sorenson, it is Hugo who leads as their champion. However, upon reaching the basement where Stan is held by Muriel, she destroys Hugo with the help of the Magical Knots, which holds Bahumat a prisoner. After Kendra summons the Fairy army to rescue her family, the empowered Fairies restore Hugo with one small change. With their empowered abilities at the time, the Fairies made Hugo a True Golem - an actual creature of earth and stone with its own free will. And ever since Hugo has been developing the ability to make his own choices rather then just following orders. Because of his earthen body, Hugo can regenerate body parts as shown in book two when he loses one to Olloch the Glutton, as well as being extremely durable to both magic and material things such as during the shadow plague when the magic of darkened creatures could not permanently harm him.

Standing at roughly 9 feet tall at the beginning of the first novel, he is made of soil, clay, and stone. He appears more apelike than human with broad, thick limbs, and disproportionately large hands and feet. Tufts of grass and the occasional dandelion sprout from his body. In spring and summer, he grows more grass and flowers over his body. He has a long, oblong head with a square jaw. Crude features resembled a nose, mouth, and ears. The eyes are a pair of vacant holes beneath a jutting brown.

**Dullions** are a cruder form of their cousin the Golem and are also capable of releasing great strength. They can be made of hay, tar, or other similar matter and they do not have their own free will and only to be instructed by its master. The only known ones is in the hands of the Society of the Evening Star and of the Somber Knight. In the series it was said that there was a Warlock that knows the extinct art of making Dullions. Note that their creation is an art.

A Dullion interupted Kendra and Seth from escaping Errol Fisk with the help of Vanessa when they knew Errol was part of the Society of the Evening Star. The dullion was made of hay and straw and was said to have been also armed with hard matter underneath its weak outer covering of hay. To Seth who had not yet drank milk by that time it looked like a moving heap of hay and also looked stupid to him. The dullion crushed the roof of Vanessa's car before they escaped the Society and Errol Fisk.

Another Dullion is owned by the Somber Knight that lives in the catacombs of Terrabelle. The creature is bull-shaped and made out of tar. It rode to battle against Celebrant and his guard together with the Somber Knight in *Wrath of the Dragon King*. The bull lost most of its back parts.

Four dullions made out of sand attacked the protected part of Crescent Lagoon in *Champion of the Titan Games.* One was defeated by the menehunes that protected Savani while the others were defeated by Baroi, the Himalayan Cyclops.
