Straw golems were a type of dread golem, unique to the realm of Ravenloft, that were constructed out of straw.[1]
Description[]
Straw golems typically resembled scarecrows.[1]
Abilities[]
Like many golems, straw golems possessed a general immunity to most magic and could only be hurt with weapons of enchantment +1, though generally they were weaker than most types of golems. They were also immune to all forms of fire damage, though were slowed down by water.[1]
Straw golems were capable of summoning flocks of ravens to surround and attack their foes.[1]
Combat[]
In rural areas, straw golems would often use their resemblance to scarecrows to spring a surprise attack against their foes.[1]
