When it enters a creature’s space (ally or enemy), the golem makes a slam attack against that creature. The creature remains in its space, and the golem must leave the space after it attacks. The golem must end its rampage in an unoccupied space.

Obsidian Golems are slightly smarter than most golems, able to take slightly more complex instructions and to speak, enabling them to report on things they’ve seen, ask for passwords, etc.
