A Candle Golem is a unique construct in Dungeons & Dragons, often appearing in homebrew settings. Typically created by wizards or powerful magic users, a Candle Golem is formed from wax, enchanted to be alive with a magical flame burning inside its body. The golem resembles a humanoid figure made of wax, with a small flickering flame at its head or chest, symbolizing its life force. Despite its simple appearance, the Candle Golem is imbued with purpose and can be used for various tasks, depending on its creator's intentions.

The Candle Golem is known for its vulnerability to cold and water-based attacks. Cold magic can cause its wax body to harden and crack, weakening its structural integrity. Water can extinguish its flame, causing the golem to cease functioning temporarily until reignited. However, when alive and active, the golem is resilient, capable of carrying out commands and acting as both a servant and protector. Its waxy body grants it some resistance to physical attacks, though it remains vulnerable to fire-based damage.

In combat, the Candle Golem uses its physical strength and the heat of its internal flame as its primary weapons. Some Candle Golems may have additional abilities, such as causing small bursts of flame or using the heat of their body to ignite objects. Their most distinctive feature is their flammable nature, which can be a hazard to both the golem and its surroundings if the flame grows too intense.

Though not common in most D&D settings, Candle Golems offer an interesting mix of magical charm and danger, fitting well in campaigns that explore unusual or experimental magic.
