"People call me 'Golem'. I don't answer other questions." — Golem to Ging Freecss, in "Inauguration" |
Golem (ゴレム, Goremu) is a Temp Hunter[1] and one of the Expedition Team members affiliated with Beyond Netero.[2]
Appearance[]
Golem's appearance
Golem's true appearance is unknown. He always stay inside the pilot chamber of a robot, which is more than twice the size of an average grown man. The left arm of the robot is missing, as it is conjured by Golem himself. It has a seat by the shoulder and a gun-like appendage where the hand should be.
Personality[]
Golem is taciturn and reclusive. Not even Muherr, who has known him for three years, knows what he looks like or his age. Golem refuses to disclose any sort of personal information, including his real name, only reporting that his comrades call him "Golem". He always stay on his own, inside the pilot cabin of the robot, and never partaking in the conversations or games his fellow expedition members have. However, he bluntly asked Ging why he had not explained sooner about his reasons for offering money to Beyond's party, showing he has some pride as a soldier. On that occasion, he demonstrated to be unable to comprehend actions guided by feelings without an explanation.

Plot[]
Succession Contest arc[]
Beyond's Expedition Team
Golem is one of the expedition members that Beyond exclaims his goal to when he heads to the Dark Continent.[2]
From the moment of Ging's arrival, Golem has always been sitting in a corner, never speaking or interacting with others. He reacted only when Ging announced he would pay the party members twice the sum offered by Beyond to be acknowledged as number two.[4] When the expedition team members divided into two groups, Golem chose to be part of the "Refusing to take Ging's money" group.[1]
One month later, they provide firearms for Muherr's henchmen as part of Pariston's act. Muherr then introduces him to Ging, informing him that Golem will be the one to handle the artillery and about their involvement in the Lubo Civil War. Ging then asks Golem his name, to which he replies that he is referred to as "Golem" by his comrades and that he will answer no more inquiries. Later, when Ging reveals the reason for offering everyone his money, Golem wonders why he hasn't said it before, as it would have made everything easier. However, he does not understand Muherr's explanation.[3]
Abilities & Powers[]
Golem has all the benefits granted by his status as a Hunter. As a member of Beyond Netero's party, Golem is deemed powerful enough to handle the Dark Continent. His specialty is artillery. Golem is a member of an 11-men squad known as "Stone Wall", the legendary task force that came out of the Lubo Civil War without a single casualty.[3]
Nen[]
Golem is referred to as a "symbiotic type" Nen user. All the abilities he has shown so far involve him conjuring weapons that are loaded with aura bullets supplied by an Emitter.[3] While on one hand, Golem is unable to fire the weapons himself, both the weapon and the bullets are more powerful than they would be if they were both created by only one person. It should be noted that the weapons Golem conjures are rather complex objects, which vouches for a considerable degree of skill in Nen. He also has the peculiar ability to materialize them away from his body, possibly meaning he can use Emission.[1]
| Golem's Nen Type: Unknown | ||
|---|---|---|
| Type: Conjuration | Symbiotic Type Firearms* | |
  | ||
| | Golem can conjure powerful firearms directly in the hands of his allies. These weapons can only shoot Nen bullets emitted by the shooter. Golem has displayed the ability to materialize at least five weapons at once. It is currently unknown if the remote conjuring uses Emission. According to Muherr, carrying real guns loaded with Nen bullets dramatically increases efficiency on the battlefield in mid to long-term group warfare. | |
| Type: Conjuration | Symbiotic Type Arm* | |
  | ||
| | Golem conjures a mechanical arm on the shoulder of the robot. This arm ends in a heavy weapon that is capable of shooting devastating Nen bullets rapid-fire. The bullets are created by an Emitter who position themselves in a seat next to the robot's shoulder. Due to the weapon and the bullets being provided by two different Nen users, their combined firepower is greater than that of a similar ability used by only one person. | |

Trivia[]
- Golem's ability has similarities to the ability that Halkenburg's Guardian Spirit Beast endowed him with. Just like Golem, Halkenburg forms the 'gun' (bow in Halkenburg's case), and Halkenburg's men's aura provide its bullets (arrows). Both characters and abilities were introduced in the Succession Contest arc.
