A flesh golem follows simple commands by its creator, and can be ordered to stop all activity until a specific event takes place. For each melee round spent in combat, the flesh golem stands a 1% cumulative chance of going berserk and attacking all targets in sight. The golem’s creator can attempt to reassert control at a chance of 10% per round.

A flesh golem is created with a magical tome written for such a process or by a magic user (of at least 14th level) using the following spells: wish, polymorph object, geas, strength, and protection from normal missiles. One thousand gold pieces per hit point of the golem is spent on material components, and the entire creation process takes one month.
