Stone golem

''For the World of Warcraft mob, see Stone Golem. For the Warcraft III creep, see Stone Golem (Warcraft III). Not to be confused with other golems made of stone.'' Stone golems, often just called golems, are a type of golem made by the titans, and then copied by the dark iron dwarves.

History
Stone golems were created by the titans at an unknown point in time, and left to guard their now-ruined cities across Azeroth.

At some point, the Dark Iron clan gained the ability to produce them. The construction process can be seen throughout Blackrock Depths and The Cauldron.

Ragnaros has uncovered the secret to creating life from stone and plans to build an army of unstoppable golems to aid him in conquering the whole of Blackrock Mountain.

The dark irons plumbed the secrets of Uldaman to make their golems more powerful. They seek the Discs of Norgannon.

Black iron golems are seemingly a specialized version of this type of golem. Their purpose is unknown.

The term "war golem" is used by both the dark irons and the iron dwarves for various types of their golems. The exact context, beyond that they are golems made for war, is unknown.

Relation to stone watchers
The secrets of constructing a stone watcher were lost long ago with the titans. Today, those who have located and studied stone watchers attempt to duplicate the stone watcher's superior techniques, but invariably fall short. Anyone wishing to construct a stone watcher only succeeds in creating a stone golem instead. This may refer to a generic golem made of stone.

Some stone watchers and stone keepers may actually use this model.

List of stone golems
Stone golems can be either titan-made, or dark iron-made. Some titanic ones are newly made by (often corrupted) titan factories and constructs. Who or what produced them can usually be assumed by location. Some in Uldaman and the Badlands could be either, due to the presence of both influences. Some anomalies exist.

Cannon-wielding stone golems
The dark iron dwarves seem to have expanded on the initial titan design, replacing the hands of some of their golems with cannons, and adding a cannonball magazine to their backs. However, the existence of one titan-made version was revealed in Sholazar Basin, calling this assumption into question.

Iron golems
The iron dwarves have created a similar type of golem made from the same type of iron that most things related to them are made of. However, some were seemingly left by the titans.

Dark iron golems
The dark iron clan has recently made a new version of their golems, resembling a large dwarf made of metal.
