Golems are magically created automatons of great power. The animating force is a spirit from the Elemental Plane of Earth, bound to an artificial body and subject to its creator's will. Golems are mindless: they do nothing without orders, follow instructions explicitly, and use no strategy. A creator can command a golem within 60 feet if the golem can see and hear them. If uncommanded, a golem follows its last instruction (and returns attacks if assaulted). The creator may order it to obey another person, but can always resume exclusive control.
An iron golem has a humanoid body of iron, often fashioned with armor detail. It is 12 feet tall and weighs about 5,000 pounds. It cannot speak or make any vocal noise, has no distinguishable odor, and moves with a ponderous but smooth gait that can make floors tremble.
