The Rock Golem is a powerful Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Cavern layer. It hurls rocks at players that are out of contact range.

When being attacked, it continues to attack, making stun-lock options unusable.

Notes

• The Rock Golem can only spawn on Stone Blocks. It will never spawn in the Ice biome, even if there is stone present.

Trivia

• The Rock Golem drops the second most coins of any non-boss enemy (second only to Mimics), tied with the Nymph, Pirate Captain, and Paladin, and the most of any enemy that is not considered rare by the Lifeform Analyzer.
• The Rock Golem and Gem trees are the only renewable sources of Stone Blocks in a world.

• The Bestiary entry for the Rock Golem: "Dense-minded living stone formation. Awaits weary cavern dwellers to pound them into juicy rubble."
