Whether organic or inorganic in origin, Golems are artificial constructs designed or inevitably created by sentient hands to provide a tireless aide for the plethora of purposes it was made for, usually combining multiple capabilities for a multitude of work or a focused specialty otherwise unachievable by a normal person. Golems are made with either a semblance of intelligence or full-fledged sentience, although creation of them are frowned upon by people for reasons ranging from ethical to moral.
The Demacia n artificer Durand's creations, most notably his magnum opus Galio , and the steam construct of Viktor named Blitzcrank are two of the most famous golem creations. Elemental golem such as Malphite was born from the heart of the great Ixtal construct known as the Monolith. Technological golem can also be referred to as robots. Orianna , the lady of clockwork, is a being made purely of technological parts which has long lost all the organic parts of Orianna Reveck, the human who she originally represented.
Zac is a unique form of golem, being created of organic and inorganic matter originating from the ooze dredged from the 'Returning Pool' of Zaun , it has been experimented and shaped into the 'Zaun Amorphous Combatant'.
Sentinels , or Stone-golems , are magical fusion of flora, fauna, and rock native to Valoran but can also be found in Ionia and on the Shuriman Continent . Despite its rock like appearance, its behavior is very much of an animal reminiscent of a bear or wolf. The creature is powered by nature magic. Smaller forms of this creature are called Sentries . Ivern has befriended an injured stone-golem . Knowing the poor creature was on the verge of death, he fashioned her a new heart from a river pebble. Adhering to the tradition of all mineral beings, the golem became Ivern's devoted life-friend. He named her Daisy , after the flowers that mysteriously sprouted from her stone body. Today, if Ivern is threatened, she races to his side.
In Noxus , the Black Rose used hemomancy to create Briar , a living weapon with an instinctual hunger for blood. She was violent and uncontrollable, attacking anyone on sight to satiate her hunger. Briar was given a pillory with a hemolith gemstone to control her instincts, which contributed to her developing independent goals from what she was created for. The Black Rose sent Briar to target Swain during his coup against Boram Darkwill , but he managed to escape and had his forces capture her in his holding facility.
