Iron Golem 2014
CR 16 construct
Large construct, chaotic evil
The golem doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
Whenever the golem is subjected to fire damage, it takes no damage and instead regains HP equal to the fire damage dealt.
The golem is immune to poison and psychic damage and to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. In addition, it is immune to exhaustion and to the charmed, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, and poisoned conditions.
The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
The golem has advantage on saves against spells and other magical effects.
The golem's weapon attacks are magical.
At the start of each of its turns, the iron golem chooses one of the following fighting stances to adopt, which lasts until the start of the golem's next turn.
- Retributive. The next time the golem is hit by a melee weapon attack from a creature within 5 feet of it before the start of its next turn, the golem can slam its shoulder into the attacker as a reaction. The attacker must succeed on a DC 18 STR save or be pushed up to 10 feet away from the golem and knocked prone.
- Aggressive. When the golem uses Multiattack, it can replace one additional Spear Arm attack with a Shield Bash attack. If it does so, its AC is reduced by 2 until the start of its next turn.
- Defensive. The golem's AC increases by 4, but it can't make Shield Bash attacks until the start of its next turn.
