Golem

According to Jewish mythology and medieval folklore, a golem - a word that comes from the Hebrew word "gelem", which means "matter" - is an animated being, in human form and lacking voice, soul and intelligence, manufactured by rabbis or magicians from inanimate matter, usually mud or clay. This creature, in addition to lacking in willpower and insight, possessed superhuman strength and endurance and its main mission was to help with domestic chores and defend the Jewish community from the threats that weighed on it.
