Any creature with fewer HD than the dragonbone golem is shaken (Will DC 20 negates). The effect lasts for as long as the creature remains within range and for 2d6 rounds afterward. A creature that succeeds on the Will save to resist is immune to that dragonbone golem's fear aura for 24 hours. ### Immunity to Magic (Ex) A dragonbone golem is immune to spells or spell-like abilities that allow spell resistance. #### ecology **Terrain** Any **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** None **Advancement** 21–30 HD (Large); 31–60 HD (Huge) A dragonbone golem is crafted from the skeletons of one or more dragons, wired together into a gruesome whole. It typically measures about 10 feet in length and stands 5 feet tall at the shoulder. It is easily mistaken for a skeletal dragon or a dracolich—and, in fact, is often built by necromancers—but it is a construct, not an undead creature. ### Combat A dragonbone golem wades into combat without hesitation, weakening opponents’ resolve with its fear aura. ### Construction A dragonbone golem’s body must be crafted from the skeletons of one or more dragons, strung together with adamantine wire worth 5,000 gp. Creating the body requires a DC 20 Heal check. CL 13th; [[Craft Construct]], animate dead, cause fear, geas/quest, caster must be at least 13th level; Price 115,000 gp; Cost 60,000 gp
