Dreidel Golems began as a simple betting game using an enchanted four-sided teetotum. Bets would be placed and a word would be spoken to set the top spinning.

No one knows the name of the first mage to use this simple device as a treasure guardian, but when one is found the treasure it guards is ancient. Like most such constructs, the Dreidel Golem stands motionless until one of its four eyes detects motion too near. Then the golem begins spinning like a top, its four arms extended, as it produces a flurry of blows, caroming around the room until all foes are dead or driven off.

If its command words are known, the golem can be controlled, even used in its original capacity as a betting game piece.
