Aversion to Fire. If the flesh golem takes fire damage, it has disadvantage on skill checks until the end of its next turn.
Berserk. Whenever the flesh golem starts its turn with half its health or less, it goes berserker. On each of its turns while berserk, the flesh golem attacks the nearest creature it can see. If no creature is near enough to move to and attack, the flesh golem attacks an object, with preference for an object smaller than itself. Once the flesh golem goes berserk, it continues to do so until it is destroyed or regains all its health.
The flesh golem’s creator, if within 10 meters of the flesh golem, can try to calm it by speaking firmly and persuasively. The flesh golem must be able to hear its creator, who must use an action to make a Difficulty 15 Persuasion check. If the check succeeds, the flesh golem ceases being berserk. If it takes damage while still at half its health or less, the flesh golem might go berserk again.
Immutable Form. The flesh golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
Lightning Absorption. Whenever the flesh golem is subjected to lightning damage, it takes no damage and instead regains an amount of health equal to the lightning damage dealt.
Magic Resistance. The flesh golem has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Magic Weapons. The flesh golem’s weapon attacks are magical.
