A Book Golem is a towering construct formed entirely of stacked and bound tomes, its form held together by an unseen magical force. Pages flutter and shift within its body, occasionally revealing snippets of ancient texts or glowing runes. Its eyes glow with arcane energy, and it moves with a slow but purposeful gait, the weight of centuries of knowledge lending it an air of wisdom. Often found guarding vast libraries, arcane sanctuaries, or wizarding archives, the Book Golem is both a protector and a source of hidden lore.
