“	KEY GOLEM – You'll find these cute little mobs hiding throughout the world. You must carry them on your back to a locked door, as they're too afraid to go alone. If you take damage while carrying one, it will scurry back to where you found it.	„

Behavior

Key golem sleeping

Key golems start off asleep.

Alert

Key golem alert

Key golems wake up when the hero approaches it.

Run

Key golem run

Key golems attempts to evade the hero in any way that it can. The hero must hit it to collect it, at which point it gets strapped to the hero's back.

Panic

Key golem panic

Key golems squirm and yell in fear while on the hero's back. If the hero is damaged while wearing the key golem, the key golem escapes and flees back to its original location, but if another entity hits it, then that entity gets the key golem on its back.

Key golems can be picked up by certain mobs. If the mob gets killed, a key golem returns to the closest rug. These mobs are as follows:
