Trivia

Origin

It shares some physical traits with turtles, but it mostly seems to be simply a living rock, which is more or less what a golem is.

Name origin

Golem's name probably is a reference to the golems of medieval and Hebrew legend. Additionally, ゴロゴローン gorogoroon is the sound of rolling.
