Features Berserk. Whenever the golem starts its turn with 40 hit points or fewer, roll a d6. On a 6, the golem goes berserk. On each of its turns while berserk, the golem attacks the nearest creature it can see. If no creature is near enough to move to and attack, the golem attacks an object, with preference for an object smaller than itself. Once the golem goes berserk, it continues to do so until it is destroyed or regains all its hit points. The golem’s creator, if within 60 feet of the berserk golem, can try to calm it by speaking firmly and persuasively. The golem must be able to hear its creator, who must take an action to make a DC 15 Charisma (Persuasion) check. If the check succeeds, the golem ceases being berserk. If it takes damage while still at 40 hit points or fewer, the golem might go berserk again. Aversion of Fire. If the golem takes fire damage, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the end of its next turn. Immutable Form. The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form. Lightning Absorption. Whenever the golem is subjected to lightning damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to the lightning damage dealt. Magic Resistance. The golem has advantage on saving throws agianst spells and other magical effects. Magic Weapons. The golem's weapon attacks are magical.  Actions Multiattack. The golem makes two slam attacks. Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft. one target. Hit: 13 (2d8+4) bludgeoning damage.

A flesh golem is a grisly assortment of humanoid body parts stitched… together… Its brain is capable of simple reason [like] a young child. The golem's muscle tissue responds to the power of lightning, [giving] vitality and strength… A flesh golem lurches with a stiff-jointed gait… If the spirit breaks free of its creator's will, the golem goes berserk…

Other Lore

 ^{[SRD3 OGL]}  

 3.5e lore 

A flesh golem is a ghoulish collection of stolen humanoid body parts, stitched together into a single composite form. No natural animal willingly tracks a flesh golem. The golem wears whatever clothing its creator desires, usually just a ragged pair of trousers. It has no possessions and no weapons. It stands 8 feet tall and weighs almost 500 pounds.

A flesh golem golem cannot speak, although it can emit a hoarse roar of sorts. It walks and moves with a stiff-jointed gait, as if not in complete control of its body.
