Whiskey Golem

Whiskey Golems are magically-created constructs employed by the Gremlins of Wyrd Games’ Malifaux universe.

Description
Towering over even the largest of men, Whiskey Golems appear to have been built from wood, bits of old scrap metal, and a large number of whiskey barrels. Powered by the dual fuels of magic and moonshine, these monstrosities are employed as enormous and intimidating beatsticks when the Gremlins go to battle. Whilst not sentient beings by any stretch of the imagination, they are capable of identifying friend from foe, and have the ability to self-repair should they become damaged in any way. The fact that a Whiskey Golem can be tapped for a quick “pick-me-up” during a fight is seen as nothing but a bonus to its accompanying Gremlins. One important point of note concerning the Whiskey Golem is that if it is damaged by an attack, it has a tendency to spew out gouts of the moonshine which are a key part of keeping it animated. As this substance is highly toxic to most creatures (except, of course, the Gremlins for whom home-brewed liquor is a staple food group), engaging a Whiskey Golem up close can be extremely hazardous, not only because of its combat prowess, but for the fact that simply injuring the thing can cause permanent injury, or even death, to its attacker.
