Golden Saint	These Daedra appear as half-clad women with golden-hued skin wearing golden armor and a winged helmet. Also known as "Aureals," they are the spawn of Sheogorath and are feared for their combat abilities. They often look down on mortals, and tend to be quick tempered, short of patience, and are quick to deal cruel and harsh punishments. They view all in the Shivering Isles as inferior, and make no effort to hide this in their interactions.	Morrowind, Shivering Isles
Golem	Golems are creatures created by those practiced in the arcane arts. They are fashioned from a material to resemble a human form, then animated and set to particular tasks. A Golem is comparable to an Atronach, but was only seen in earlier Elder Scrolls games (i.e., Arena). See specific entries for Ice Golem, Stone Golem, and Iron Golem (in order from weakest to strongest).	Arena
Grahl	Known as "ice trolls," these powerful creatures share their mainland counterparts' regeneration and vulnerability to fire, which even hinders the former ability. They are often found in ice caves.	Bloodmoon
