Biology

Golurk flies in the sky at Mach speeds with its legs tucked in. Some believe that its seal can provide limitless energy, but when the seal is removed, it rages and destroys towns. It is said that they were built for labor and that they follow their masters' orders faithfully. Artillery platforms were made for them to fire energy beams on.

Design & origin

Golurk's design is inspired by the Golem of Prague of Jewish folklore, a clay figure given life to protect the Jewish people of Prague from attacks and persecution.

Forms

Mega Golurk

Energy flows around Mega Golurk's body, with Golurk gaining two ghostly wing-like constructs on its back.
