Neither a true golem, nor actually an elemental, this creature is known colloquially as a 'Scrollemental' by inventive young apprentices who think themselves clever. It is remarkably resilient, but vulnerable to mundane flames, although the risk of destroying the knowledge that makes up such a creature, as well as the collateral damage to its surrounds, often preclude this as an option.
Their structure is formed of hundreds of spell scrolls, held together by their own magical force. They can summon up bolts of raw evocation energy to hurl at those who threaten them, and are guarded by shimmering fields of abjuration. Hooks:
