Here's another monster from our campaign. It's a brass golem (from MMII) advanced to 33 HD and updated to 3.5.
The story behind this construct: it was recently created by a NPC wizard, much hated by the PCs. This wizard dreams of reanimating a fearsome colossus from antiquity, and this golem is just the latest step on the road to his goal.
The Mighty Servant of Hecatesseus: advanced brass golem; CR 15; Huge Construct; HD 33d10+40; hp 275; Init +5; Spd 30 ft (can’t run); AC 24, touch 9, flat-footed 23; BAB +24; Grp +44; Atk +37 melee (4d6+21 plus 1 Con/19–20 x3, +3 wounding greataxe) or +34 melee (2d6+18, butt); Full Atk +37/+32/+27/+22 melee (4d6+21 plus 1 Con/19–20 x3, +3 wounding greataxe) or +34 melee (2d6+18, butt); Space/Reach 15 ft/15 ft; SA maze; SQ construct traits, darkvision 60 ft, DR 10/adamantine, magic immunity, scent; AL N; SV Fort +11, Ref +14, Will +17; Str 34, Dex 13, Con –, Int 3, Wis 18, Cha 7.
Skills and Feats: Survival +40*; Awesome Blow, Cleave, Great Cleave, Improved Critical (greataxe), Improved Bull Rush, Improved Initiative, Improved Overrun, Improved Sunder, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Power Attack, Track. *A brass golem is a relentless tracker. It gains a +20 competence bonus on Survival checks for the purpose of tracking a foe designated by its creator, or in connection with any other goal set by its creator. When tracking a foe through its own maze, the creature gains a +20 insight bonus on Survival checks.
Maze (Sp): Once per day the Mighty Servant can target a maze effect (caster level 16th) against a single target. The Mighty Servant is immune to the effects of its own maze ability and that of others of its kind, and it can freely enter it own maze to track a target.
Magic Immunity (Ex): The Mighty Servant is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as follows. An electricity effect slows it (as the slow spell) for 3 rounds, with no saving throw. A fire effect breaks any slow effect on the Mighty Servant and cures 1 point of damage for each 3 points of damage it would otherwise deal. The Mighty Servant does not get a saving throw against fire effects.
Construct Traits: The Mighty Servant is immune to mind-influencing effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects), and to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromantic effects, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless it also works on objects. It cannot heal damage, but it is not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, ability drain, or energy drain. It is not at risk of death from massive damage but is destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points or less. The Mighty Servant cannot be raised or resurrected.
Scent (Ex): The Mighty Servant can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
Physical Description: The Mighty Servant of Hecatesseus appears as a 15-ft tall minotaur fashioned out of brass and wielding a huge two-headed axe.
Possessions: +3 wounding greataxe.
