Gold golem (Dragon Quest)

For the III monster, see Gold golem (Dragon Quest III).

Gold golem is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.

Characteristics

The gold golem is summed up by its name: it is a golem made out of gold bricks. Typically, it is the go-to monster for amassing quick cash, it usually being the weakest in the golem family, though in VII and XI, it is the strongest or second strongest of its line.

PSX: It looks like I'll be living out my golden years here. Hey, hey! I don't care how poor you are! Stop trying to chip a piece of my hide! I've got a heart of gold. Your heart is more of a bloody mass of tissue. 3DS: ......... (It seems to be pleased to see you.) ......... (It's struggling to tell you a lengthy anecdote.) ......... (It seems to be giving you a greeting of sorts.)

	Note: A gorgeous demon whose entire body is made of gold. His attacks with stored power are strong, but if you defeat him, you will be rewarded with a lot of money. I'm a little jealous of Stone golem's freedom, as he is often _targeted by travelers who don't have enough money.
