Attention all monster hunters:
Be on the look out for rogue golems in your area. These golems have malfunctioned and turned on their masters and so may not follow normal PVP laws.
However, they are a great alternative to PVP for some players.
The source of these new monstrocities is still subject of debate among scholars, parts the debate may be recorded here. |

| I would think there are plenty of golems that have been destroyed that could be used for stats, assuming that a record of them still exists and hasn't been deleted. Have them come back from the scrapyard to haunt the living. |

I think the fastest way to get this idea implemented is to have the first golems "escape" from Arkham's weapon lab.
You see, when using a new weapon, either the golem must be instructed in its use or, in a fit of object-oriented programming, the weapon must contain all information for its use. Considering that the "code" of a weapon may be as simple as "See it? Kill it!" that's entirely possible.
However, as "easy" as that is to do on a computer with a keyboard, its a great deal harder to do with hot metal and a toolbox. When the weapon was given to a golem, the rune for "see it?" wasn't properly chiselled and the golem began to follow the "Kill it!" instruction at random, producing a rogue/berserk golem.
Said golem would take the weapon into the field, but wouldn't necessarily use it properly. And so weapon could be seen in action, without the results being taken as an accurate depiction of gameplay.
I like the idea of using the scrapyard though.
A golem scrapyard with mounds of golems on the ground is the ideal place for a rogue golem to hide. And if its the weapon, not the golem, that contains the rogue system, any discarded golem can become the rogue by touching it the wrong way. And of course, when the weapon takes a new "host" the old golem is "free" to return to Arkham's lab. Or it could be a viral infection that turns multiple golems rogue. We wouldn't know what to expect when we clicked the link to "Enter the Scrapyard," other than perhaps the fight of our lives. |

| Hmmm...what if this weapon merged all of the golems in the scrapyard together to form one giant angry golem (it's a monster but larger)? Players would have to destroy it before it started wandering around and smashing workshops. |
