Alternative names for fantasy “golems”?
Since it started as an inconsiderate name grab from Judaism that who’s most famous example was something built to fight against racists and prevent genocide into a mere monster.
While there are more dangerou golems, they were generally monstrous due to being overly literal or “what is life?” philosophy questions.
“Construct” in general is probably good.
Maybe individual less generic names
Puns based on golems are fine I feel to an extent. And similar concepts aren’t inherently anti-Semitic, but you know…
From dwollsadvantures
Shabti? Or ushabti, ancient egyptian statues made to serve their master after death. Their legs are inscribed with affirmations of how they serve, sort of like a golem’s chem. They are religious, but a religion that hasn’t been really practiced for thousands of years
“Homunculus” (plural “Homunculi”) can mean “fake human”, “model of a human” (like an anatomy dummy), or “human shaped statue”, which feels appropriate for “magical object given a semblance of life”.
Kratt
Creature made of hay or tools animated by the devil in exchange for three drops of blood, from Estonian folklore.
They labor endlessly, but must be kept busy lest they turn on their creator. They fit the minion-of-an-evil-wizard role very well, and naturally fill that “magical robot” niche.
Item: animated toolset (but watch out)

Up is very very near by, it's just hard to get to, because the planet loves us very much and hates to let go.
By far the funniest transition timelines are the ones from trans men where the "before" picture is some teeny little guy with sad baby seal eyes and the "after" picture looks like Kratos
Oh Jeffrey? Jeff the killer? Oh yeah he's not a teenager anymore. He's 28. Yeah he's still into the killing part just not as much. He says it lost its spark. Yeah he still says go to sleep but he'd honestly rather go sleep himself. He's pretty chill. Past the killings. He's a beloved member of the community. Yeah he's on estrogen
If a fella makes a nebula right in front of you, how are you not gonna pine after him for 6000 years?
