The Answer is:
A huge mud giant that may break into a city and plunder it GOLEM.
A golem is a clay creature that has been brought to life through magic. The term is derived from the Hebrew word "golem," which signifies something unfinished or imperfect, such as an embryo.
- The Talmud tells of rabbis who became hungry while travelling and decided to make a calf out of soil to eat for dinner.
- The rabbis performed this magical operation, according to kabbalists (Jewish mystics), by permuting language, primarily using the formulas found in the Sefer Yetzirah, or Book of Creation.
- In the Genesis tale, the mystic can speak and create just like God does. (Incidentally, the word Abracadabra comes from the Aramaic phrase avra k'davra, which means "I create as I speak.")
- Thus, in the most improbable of circumstances, a human being can endow dead matter with that nebulous but crucial spark of life: the soul.
- The kabbalists saw the production of a golem as an alchemical job, the completion of which demonstrated the adept's competence and mastery of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism).
- However, in popular legend, the golem became a kind of folk hero. Tales of magical rabbis producing life from dust abound, especially in the Early Modern period, and inspired works like Frankenstein and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
- Sometimes the golem protects the Jewish community from persecution or death, displaying courage or vengeance that helpless Jews cannot.
