Shadow golems are a particularly exotic and hard-to-create type of golem constructed from shadowstone. Its body can only be crafted on the Netherworld with special tools and anointed with the essence of usually unwilling natives of the Netherworld. Because of this, shadow golems have been associated with evil despite not being evil entities themselves. The shadowstone, although tempered into a solid shape, still grants the shadow golem the ability to walk on air or resist physical attacks. A typical shadow golem stands 11 feet tall and weighs 400 pounds.1
On Golarion
On Golarion, shadow golems are most common in Nidal. Artisans in service to the Umbral Court jealously guard the secrets of creating one, sharing them with only a few others, including House Thrune of Cheliax.1
