Descent into Avernus

FIENDISH FLESH GoLEM

A fiendish flesh golem is a particularly big flesh go-

lem made of stitched-together body parts from devils,

demons, yugoloths, and other fiends. As these parts can

come from different creatures and be combined in differ-

ent ways, no two fiendish flesh golems look exactly alike.

Night hags guard the secret to making such golems,

rarely sharing it with anyone else.

Some fiendish flesh golems have wings. However, the

magic used to create these golems allows them to fly

and hover even without wings.
