Articulated golem with biting mechanism and optional glass eyes!

Legend has it that in ancient times there existed a creature extremely resilient and loyal to its creators, capable of withstanding attacks from dragons and any other mythological creature.

The body are printed in one piece, no assembly required — straight from the printer!

3 parts plus the eyes.

Easy to print! Use PLA.

Bite strength depends on the filament — the stiffer the material, the stronger the bite (but also the more brittle). Find your perfect balance for best performance. With quality PLA, the results are amazing!

Print at 100% scale to ensure the mechanisms work properly.

It includes the STL files, a multi-color version, and a one-piece version.

Designed to be durable and easy to print. Before assembly, make sure the mechanism is working correctly.

Assembly is super simple — the eyes work as connectors. Use a little glue (cyanoacrylate). See assembly video

Optional glass eyes should be 12 mm in diameter.

⚠️ EYE! Some of the filaments hurt the finger

So cool- I can’t wait to print one! It looks awesome in the glow filament 🤩 Is there a way to print it without the biting mechanism?

Golems are almost always depicted as humanoids, but this spiky reptile-like creature is so much cooler-looking! For some reason it makes me think of what a wyvern or Game of Thrones-style dragon might look like if it evolved along the lines of terror birds (or the bat-descended “future predators” from the TV show Primeval) and became secondarily flightless. I love it! It also reminds me a bit of the thorny devil* (Moloch horridus), a fantastical-looking Australian lizard even spikier than this golem (though it has tiny claws, tinier and totally non-visible teeth, and bites nothing but ants) with the marvelous ability to drink any water that touches its skin by transporting it to its mouth through capillary action. *Not to be confused with horned toads A.K.A. horny toads (Phrynosoma): a genus of 21 species of similarly small, spiny, ant-eating lizards native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, some of which have their own otherworldly powers such as squirting toxic blood from their eyes as a last-ditch defense against mammalian predators. Incidentally, I would LOVE to see you create articulated models of any** of these lizards (even though the usual biting function wouldn’t really work with them). **When it comes to picking a horned lizard species, my personal recommendations would be either the regal horned lizard (Phrynosoma solare) for its distinctive and stunning “crown” of spikes, the Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) for its beautiful patterns and adorable rotundness, or the coast horned lizard (Phrynosoma coronatum—note spelling), which almost looks intermediate between the previous two.
