Golem (Castlevania)
"Mature Content" | |
This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these. |
“ | An artificial human being created by Carmilla. Perhaps due to a mutation, he awakens to self-awareness. Golem seeks the meaning of being alive: An artificial humanoid created by Carmilla. The Golem's self-awareness has been awakened within the time gap, and it wants to know the meaning of its existence. | „ |
~ Golem's Official Background |
Background
Golem is a playable character in Castlevania Judgment, with a design combining elements of both the Golem and Frankenstein’s Monster. In his story mode, it is revealed that the Time Rift grants him a degree of sentience, which he hopes to use to become fully human. However, his sentience can only be sustained within the rift, which, if left open, would threaten humanity. In the end, Golem sacrifices his chance at humanity to help seal the rift, saving mankind. Once the rift is closed, he loses his sentience and reverts to a mindless state. Tragically, he was later destroyed by a vampire hunter. His theme song, "Tower of Dolls," originates from Castlevania Chronicles.
Personality
- Dislike of Fighting: Golem has a dislike of fighting, not wanting to fight at all[1]. Only fighting to live[2]. He views fighting as bad and only fights when he must[3].
- Want to be Human: Golem wants to be human to the point that seeing Cornell makes him question if there's a curse that can make him human[4]. Asking beings such as Death if he can be human with Death revealing that he is already human as he can ponder his own existence[5]. Making Golem happy to learn his soul is real[6].
- Existential Questions: Golem wonders why he is alive and goes through the rift to find the answer[7]. Wanting to live and not understnading why people want to stop him[8]. Questioning where is any place for him[9].

Powers and Techniques
Resistance to Dracula's Castle (Golem can fight in the throne room in Dracula's Castle without any adverse effects[86]) The Castle Abilities Include: Reality Warping (The Castle does not work on standard logic, where changing rooms can have one view a completely different background[87], such as room with a blue sky that is reflecting up and downwards and having the clouds rotate at a fast speed[88]), Transmutation (Beings that come near are subject to the castle's influence, such as a local barnyard owl which was mutated just from flying near it[89]), Possession (The castle possesses objects with its magic, such as a ouija table[90]), Sealing (Dracula's magic captured Aguni, a primitive god of fire[91]. The Castle has doors sealed off without solving puzzles[92]. This can extend to walls being sealed off where explosions will not affect it until the seal is gone[93]), Mind Manipulation (Everything that enters the castle is under the control by the power of Dracula's castle[94], the ghost of Eric Lecarde needed to cast a magic barrier to bind himself so he could be free from the control of the castle[95]. The Castle corrupts the minds of those who enter it, such as making Maxim Kischine feel strange ever since coming to it[96]. It also corrupted the mind of Hugh turning him against Nathan with Nathan noting he's being controlled by Dracula[97]. The castle increases one's dark desires, allowing Dracula to easily control them[98]. The magic of Dracula's power that empowers the owl enemy also spurs it to violence[99]), Madness Manipulation (The Castle warped Gergoth, a once-gentle beast and drove it mad[100]), Size Manipulation (Magically enlarged a toad through the use of demonic baptism[101]), Fear Manipulation (Even while far away, Curtis and Michelle felt malicious intent from the castle where their bodies seemed to squeal "run away"[102]. Michelle even being at the entrance to the castle had her body telling her to not go in and her leg muscles being petrified like stone[103]), Curse Manipulation (The Curse status that spirits inflict[104] comes from them absorbing the magic power around the castle. The Castle cursed a human to turn into a lizard man[105]), Life Manipulation (The castle can bring inanimate statues to life to attack[106]. Can cause the glass murals to come to life and attack[107]), Soul Manipulation (Those that die in the castle become one of the floating spirits that wander the halls of the castle for eternity[108]), Abstract Manipulation & Hell Manipulation (The castle can create a core of evil made from hatred, envy, anger and other dark emotions[109])
Equipment
Nothing notable.
Notable Techniques

Other
Standard Tactics: Golem uses strong punches infused with electricity and when he overloads, he shoots a massive energy beam out.
Weaknesses
- Creature of the Night Weaknesses: Creatures of the night become weaker when exposed to the morning sun[110]. Garlic significantly weakens creatures of the night[111], and causes demons to die if its placed on the ground[112]. If a vital soul is defeated, the grimoire will revert back to its original content[113].
- Unique Weaknesses: Golem has just awoken to self-awareness within the time rift, thus he does not understand much.
Trivia
For overall species
- The Golem from Harmony of Dissonance is one of only two bosses in the game who receives non-neutral damage from an element, Golem resisting Thunder, and the Skull Knight, who is weak to it.
- This same boss also possesses mirrored sprites: although it has a ball and chain on its right arm when it is first encountered, when it turns around, the ball and chain will appear on the left arm instead.
- In Aria of Sorrow there is a rare chance a wooden golem would look like an iron golem, a good place to find it is in Dance Hall.

When suddenly, an end to it all has been foretold. 1999----- Thanks to the power of a clan in Japan, Dracula’s castle was sealed inside a [solar eclipse] to disappear forever.
However, in this world, there is no such thing as forever. [They] had understood that Dracula’s regeneration cycle ought to have ended. Indeed, people have prepared for this but will it still exist?

That really is no doubt an obsession.
The youth had more than 28 holes penetrating his limbs and body. His heart is already starting to fail and he is desperately trying to say something amidst the darkness.
“Only…… protect…… you……-----“
When he said those words he must say, the man’s soul already left his body-----becoming one of the floating spirits that wander the halls of the castle.
However-----
Fate did not allow it.
For those people who are involved with the demon castle, even the loneliness of death seemed half hearted-----
The man’s soul is pierced by a small scythe that flew in from somewhere. That scythe did not exist physically. It was a diabolic blade created by some magic and possessed a strong soul." - ↑ Castlevania: Curse of Darkness Beastiary No. 115
