Immutable Form. The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
Multiattack. The golem makes two melee attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d8+7) bludgeoning damage.
Sword. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (3d10+7) slashing damage.
Poison Breath. The golem exhales poisonous gas in a 15-foot cone. Each creature there takes 45 (10d8) poison damage on a failed DC 19 Constitution save, or half as much on a success. Usable once per short or long rest.
How hard a fight? Against a party of four, a single iron golem is deadly at levels 1–11, hard at levels 12–13, medium at levels 14–16 and easy at levels 17–20. Add allies or more foes in the encounter generator.
Where you'll find it: dungeons and towns and cities.
