Lore

This section uses content from Wowpedia.

Golems are huge elemental or mechanical entities, mainly in humanoid forms, that are built generally as guardians or protectors of a person, place, or thing. Usually composed of stone or metal, they are brought to life by the elemental magic infused inside them. Most usually have Golem Oil flowing inside them like blood, but some are also mechanical.

War golems in particular are a dwarven invention, and can be found in a number of areas including the Badlands.

Trivia

The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Heroes of Azeroth" series, for the card Defensive Stance.

Prior to the release of Goblins vs Gnomes, Ben Brode described War Golem on Twitter as "so awful [as] to never be played", stating War Golem "might as well not exist."^[1]
