Golem (character)

The **Golem** is a giant monster made of earth and lava, serving as one of the two secondary antagonists in *The Legend of Lailie: Dawn of the Longma*. It is the first major enemy Lailie, Patty and Sparx have encountered in the game.

## Personality

Fused by the dark will of Chajju, the Golem's sole purpose is the destruction of Lailie and anything else that happens to get in its way. During Lailie and Patty's escape through the Catacombs, the beast has been shown to be persistent in its attempts to kill its two sacrifices, even an arrow to the eye and the loss of its left arm didn't slow down its pursuit.

## Abilities

Besides using its massive strength to crush its enemies, the Golem can breathe fire and release fireballs. It can scale buildings with the use of its spider-like legs. Its tail is also a weapon, whipping away Lailie and Patty, as well as other enemies, and the Golem has the ability regenerate missing limbs (as when he used the rubble of Longma City to build a new hand). Another ability is that sometimes, when you have to press certain buttons to proceed, the Golem may eat or crush Lailie and Patty, causing a death scene.

## Story

The Golem was summoned from the depths of the earth by Chajju sometime after his return. In the events of *Dawn of the Longma*, the Golem was to be given Lailie and Patty as entertainment sacrifices under Chajju's orders. To prepare, the Grublins magically chained Lailie and Patty together and brought them to the Catacombs to be sacrificed before a Grublin audience that stood on the sidelines. The two Longmas woke up too soon however, and a Hero Orc sent Grublins to subdue Lailie and Patty to buy the Golem time to arrive. The lava monster soon emerged from the fiery depths of the area and attempted to stop Lailie and Patty from escaping, only to be temporarily driven away when Hunter shot the monster in the eye with an arrow.

Within the depths of the Catacombs, the Golem reappeared and continued its attempts to capture Lailie and Patty, resulting in them being able to escape and inadvertently destroy one of the Golem's arms in the process. The Golem later played a major role in Chajju's attack on the Longma City of Warfang. After the siege engines had been destroyed, and despite Chajju's massive army nearly taking the city, the Grublin forces retreated to allow the Golem to lay waste to Warfang. It emerged behind the city's walls from underground, smashing a wall as it did, and briefly stopped its rampage to create a new hand out of the debris.

Tempest Shadow, Mega Flavius, Scootaloo and Spyro defended Lailie and Patty from the Golem as the young Longmas navigated their way through a portion of the city, but the Skylanders were defeated one by one. Realizing that the monster was heading towards the upper part of the city where the inhabitants were taking shelter in, Lailie and Patty engaged the Golem within a large building to stop the monster for good, breaking off half of its jaw during the struggle. Ignitus showed Lailie and Patty a small bump on the Golem's head by breathing fire on it, indicating that the main dark crystal that controlled the monster was hidden underneath. Despite the Golem's attempts to crush them, Lailie and Patty tore the bump off and destroyed the crystal inside. With its main dark crystal destroyed, the Golem perished as it fell off the building and hit the ground below.

## Trivia

* + It also resembles Iblis from the 2006 game of *Sonic the Hedgehog*.
