The Stone Golem (ストーンゴーレム, Sutōngōremu?), also known as the RockGOL, StoneMan, or Stoneman, is a recurring creature in the Final Fantasy series, first appearing in the original Final Fantasy. It is the most commonly recurring member of the golem family.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy[]
The Stone Golem, also known as the RockGOL, appears as an enemy encountered in the Flying Fortress. Due to its resistance to statuses and elements, it is better dealt with using attacks than with Magic. It can cast Slow on the party, which can hamper efforts to bring it down with physical attacks.
Final Fantasy II[]
The Stone Golem appears as an enemy encountered in Palamecia, as well as within the Arcane Labyrinth exclusive to the 20th Anniversary releases. As it resists most elements other than Poison, it is better to use physical attacks, or the advanced Scourge spell to exploit its Poison weakness. Due to its Stop VIII spell, it can drag out fights if not defeated quickly.
Final Fantasy IV[]
The Stone Golem, also known as the StoneMan or Stoneman, appears as an enemy encountered in the Tower of Babil and the Underworld. Though it is a powerful enemy, its weakness to ice can be easily exploited. It can drop Hi-Potion or X-Potion. Attacking with the Icebrand can easily defeat it immediately.

In Jewish and medieval folklore, a golem is an animated anthropomorphic being, magically created from inanimate matter. The word was used to mean an amorphous, unformed material (usually out of stone and clay) in Psalms and medieval writing. Adam, the first man created by God in the Holy Bible, was a golem since he was created from dust and sand. Having a golem servant was seen as the ultimate symbol of wisdom and holiness, with stories of prominent Rabbis owning golems throughout the middle ages. In modern times, the word golem, sometimes pronounced goilem in Yiddish, has come to mean one who is slow, clumsy, and generally dimwitted.
