Grave golem

Grave golems are a type of minion found within mercenary camps. Grave golems serve as the bosses of various maps. Grave golems spawn in fixed positions in each lane, and switch lanes each time they are summoned.

Grave golems are summoned through the collection of skulls on the Haunted Mines battleground. Visual distinctions represent how many skulls have been used to summon the golem.^[1]

These camps respawn at a rate of 180 seconds.

Basic attack: 140 (+4% per level)
Stomp: 150 (+4% per level)

Development[]

The grave golem originally possessed more heads, and had a patch of land on its back on which a tree grew from. This hindered visibility of the golem so the tree was removed.^[2]
