Crafting a proper Golem takes time, effort and often magical runes. However, in a pinch, many bad guys can take whatever is at hand, make it into a useful shape, and sent it off against their enemies. Things like water, sand, dirt, snow may be used, often illustrating that the creator can easily make more if they are destroyed. Closely linked to summoned creatures, although in this case its only really the "binding force" that has been summoned/created. Distinct from Golems and Snowlems in that they are (often) Quick to assemble, almost instant in some cases. Made from whatever is at hand. Somewhat unreliable/unstable and not that smart. Likely to collapse without a constant energy supply from their creators. (No Ontological Inertia) For a more modern equivalent, see Homemade Inventions. |

Worm: Mockshow's power allows her turn objects into humanoid minions. Parian creates golems (which can be of any shape) out of cloth and fabric of various kinds. She can assemble them in under a minute provided the materials are at hand, and if she loses consciousness, all of her creations immediately fall apart. It turns out this is a misapplication of her power: it's meant to construct golems out of human flesh. If she uses it that way, the resulting golems are far more powerful, but Parian refuses to use it like that on moral grounds. |

Sluggy Freelance: When everyone's living in one crowded apartment among the heaps of stuff from their previous larger house, the guys manage to piss off Gwynn (which is not hard, but their method would have worked on anyone), and she uses her magic to create the humanoid Clutter Monster from all the random stuff lying around to punish them. | |

Vindictus: Golems instantly assemble a body out of surrounding debris when cast. Notably, if there isn't enough junk lying around, the golem must limp or crawl around until it can assimilate enough for a proper body. In Mabinogi, golems are made of floating rocks, but the rocks are somehow "unpacked" from the golem crystal itself. |

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: In the Lord Zedd era, as well as the Kamdor episodes of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, the Monster of the Week is arguably this, with everyday objects being brought to life by the Big Bad, turned into monsters, and sent to attack. Sometimes they get to be careful and smart about the choice of object, but sometimes it's a spur-of-the-moment monster creation, so you get... killer inner tubes, purses of doom with weapons made from whatever items happened to be inside, and evil brick walls. In fact, since Kamdor was often on the move instead of sitting back in a castle, monsters were usually made in an "Oh, crap, Rangers might get the MacGuffin. Let's see, what's the nearest blue object - ah! That purse/amplifier/camera/etc!" moment. However, a computer monster was part of a plan Zedd wishes he could have thought of. | |

The Keys Stand Alone: The golem guy in The Soft World can create golems out of whatever material is handy. Not that that does him the slightest bit of good against Paul (who looooves fighting golems, since they're not alive) or John (who takes out a dozen mud golems almost without thinking about it). And yes, the various floor-material golems he'd placed in Gothmarik Citadel fell to bits once he was removed from the scene—much to Paul's disappointment. | |

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid: Corona has her Creation spell, which allows her to instantly build her golem Goliath from out of the ground. The Yonkoma Spin-Off ViVid Life shows that golem creation is actually part of the standardized curriculum at St. Hilde Academy of Magic and appears to be their equivalent to art class. This leads to the running gag of Rio's "Chibi-Rio" golem, which looks like a very simplistic Waddling Head but is frighteningly powerful (a Snowlem version made during Winter Break was powerful enough that Vita ultimately had to be the one to take it down). |

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: Strange creates several impromptu golems over the course of the book. He makes horse-shaped sand golems to tow a ship, animates a set of stained glass to put out a fire, and when the fire destroys them simply creates golems of water to throw themselves directly on the fire. It's mentioned that the Raven King used to create a huge golem out of ravens. | |

Pathfinder: Animate Object works much like in D&D, allowing a character to animate a random object to serve as a cheap and fragile minion. Most golems are made at great expense of time, resources and building materials, but the immense variety of stuff they can be made out of includes some rather unorthodox choices. Book, wood, mask, rope and mushroom golems all edge into this trope, but junk golems are explicitly made out of piles of whatever worthless rubbish their creators happened to have on hand. |

Dungeons & Dragons: "Animate Object" works like this in 2nd, 3nd, and 5th editions. In contrast to creating an actual golem, which takes weeks of work and hugely expensive materials, the spell allows the caster to make a candlestick or rock sprout arms and legs and do its master's bidding. They're short-lived constructs, fragile and usually not great at fighting. On the other hand, the incident where a Big Bad is slain by a table makes for a great story to tell the grandkids. Planescape: In one adventure, the players face a person with the ability to create golems out of objects at hand. |

Fablehaven: In the last book, one of the obstacles faced in the Dreamstone is a statue of a warrior. The group only has a short time to sculpt itself a "champion" from the available clay; both statues are then animated and do battle. | |

All Things Probable Series: Maze starts out making golems the old-fashioned way, but once he gets Monkey Fist's assistance he starts making golems out of petrified victims. He eventually transforms nearly all the statues in the world into golems. | |

Drakensang: The first Boss Fight in Drakensang 2: The River of Time is against a golem made of scrap parts, including wooden planks, a chest, an anvil and several oversized sickle blades. Predictably it's extremely vulnerable to flames. | |

Stormslayer have you trapped in a cavern with an Earth Elemental, and you can summon a Rust Golem to your aid. Said golem is made from abandoned mining tools and random debris, with two lanterns for eyes, but unfortunately it's a rather weak fighter who doesn't stand a chance against the Earth Elemental unless you found a way to weaken the Elemental before the battle commences. | |

Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I.: Golems tend to be short-lived and prone to crumbling apart. One of Robin's legal cases in the second book is brought against a necromancer who staffed his sweatshop with golems slapped together with cheap clay and a much-photocopied bootleg animation spell; when the cheap ink on the photocopies smeared or faded, the corresponding golems would disintegrate. | |

Perdido Street Station: In Iron Council, Judah Low, an amateur golemetrist, spends the book making increasingly makeshift and bizarre golems out of whatever materials are nearby: stone, clay, corpses, smoke, dust... and he mentions having seen golems made of weirder substances, such as sound, or shadows. At the end of the book, this all culminates in him making one out of time, taking the form of an invisible but humanoid region of space where time is stopped. | |

GURPS: GURPS Magic Items 3 includes rules for creating golems out of any material the GM allows, including garbage and Bakelite. The description of the garbage golem says that its usual task is seeking revenge on whoever brought the wizard so low he was reduced to making a garbage golem. | |

Nioh: The Umi-bozu is a shambling slime golem made from drowned debris (and a spirit crystal) that gained sentience. The boss Umi-bozu is made from entire wrecks of ships, which it can throw at you. There is also an umi-bozu made from used blades and needles, and an umi-bozu made from... let's just say you find them in the sewers. | |

Kingdom of Loathing: There are a whole bunch of these, mostly made out of food such as chocolate, fruit, bread or candied yams. The only golem made out of actual clay is fought during the KOLHS Special Challenge Path, in the Art Class zone. Played with by the Black Crayon Golem, which the description notes is not "a golem made out of a bunch of black crayons. It's a magically-animated black crayon drawing of a golem. I'm sure your mundane mind has trouble wrapping itself around that, huh?" | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Seems to be the aesthetic of the "Scrap-" archetype of cards. The monsters are counted as machines but have a definite cobbled together appearance. A good example would be the Scrap Dragon, which has a partially uncovered optic and wires hanging off its wings. | |
