Berserk — A severely damaged clay golem has a chance of going berserk. If it has 50 or fewer Hit Points at the start of its turn, the golem must succeed at a DC 5 Flat check or go berserk. A berserk golem wildly attacks the nearest living creature, or the nearest object if no creatures are nearby.
Golem Antimagic — Harmed by cold and water (5d10 untyped, 2d6 untyped from areas or persistent damage); healed by acid (area 2d6 healing HP); slowed by earth Golem Antimagic
Quicken (divine) — Frequency Once per day Trigger The clay golem's turn begins. It can't trigger this free action on the first turn of combat. Effect The clay golem becomes Quickened for 1 minute.
Vulnerable to Disintegrate — A Disintegrate spell affects the golem but deals half the normal amount of damage and causes the golem to become Slowed 2 for 1 round.
Berserk Slam —
Cursed Wound (curse, divine) — A creature hit by the clay golem's fist must succeed at a DC 29 Fortitude save or be cursed until healed to its maximum HP. The cursed creature can't regain HP except via magic, and anyone casting a spell to heal the creature must succeed at a DC 29 counteract check or the healing has no effect. The golem's counteract rank is equal to its creature level.
