**Description:** The Ironclad Golem is a massive construct forged from enchanted iron and animated by ancient runes. Originally created as a guardian for a long-lost city, it has now emerged in the wake of chaos following two trams colliding at the French city's main train station. With a thunderous presence, it stomps through the ruins, its purpose to protect its domain from intruders. Tactically, it uses its shockwave ability to disrupt groups of adventurers, knocking them prone to gain the upper hand. Its demeanor is relentless and stoic, showing no mercy to those it deems threats.
