Maybe 10,000 pounds?If we assume the standard Wooden Juggernaut is built from something like Oak or Teak or Mahogany (which have densities of 0.6 to 0.9 kg per litre, call it 0.75 on average) and the Winged Juggernaut uses a lot more lighter materials like Bamboo (0.3 to 0.4 kg/litre) or lighter woods like White Pine, Redwood or Spruce (0.45 to 0.5 kg/litre) it could easily weigh a lot less, especially if it has a thinner, bird-like frame with larger hollow spaces.Anyhow, how's this for a start:An enormous statue in the shape of a winged humanoid with clawed hands and feet. It is cunningly fashioned from leather and wood with metal reinforcements at the stronger joints. Winged juggernauts are a new variant of the wooden juggernaut that are almost always used to create guardian juggernauts (see the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=6652071#post6652071" target="_blank">guardian juggernaut</a>    template). They are relatively expensive and complicated to create, and the few communities that know the secret of their manufacture are reluctant to share them. Winged juggernauts may be far weaker than a true golem of the same size, but their ability to fly offers tactical options unavailable to most constructs.A typical winged juggernaut stands 30 feet tall and weighs about 10,000 pounds.COMBATThese mindless constructs are incapable of developing tactics of their   own, but fight according to whatever instructions their masters give   them. They are often ordered to make dive attacks with their claws.CONSTRUCTIONA winged juggernaut is crafted from 10,000 pounds of fine wood, 2,000 pounds of leather, and 500 pounds of steel or bronze with a  total materials cost of 1,000 gp. [?]Crafting and assembling the juggernaut requires a DC 14 Craft  (leatherwork) or a DC 14 Craft (leatherwork) for the wings and body plus  [?] a DC 14 Craft (armorsmithing) check for the metal reinforcements and joints.CL 9th; Craft Construct, animate objects, fly, spiritual weapon, caster must be at least 9th level; Price 13,000 gp; Cost 7,000 gp + 480 XP. [?]* * *CONSTRUCTIONAn enhanced winged guardian juggernaut is crafted from the same materials as the standard version. The materials must be of exceptional quality and cost  2,000 gp. An enhanced winged  juggernaut with more  than 4 Hit Dice can be  created, but each additional Hit Die adds 1,000 gp  to the market price. If  this increases the size of the creature the  price increases by 4,000 gp  for a Gargantuan juggernaut and by an  additional 7,000 gp for a  Colossal one. The higher price includes the  cost of the extra materials  required to build a larger juggernaut, the  total material cost is 4,000  gp for a Gargantuan winged juggernaut and 8,000 gp for a Colossal one.Crafting and assembling the juggernaut requires a DC 16 Craft (leatherwork) or a DC 16 Craft (leatherwork) for the wings and body plus [?] a DC 16 Craft (armorsmithing) check for the metal reinforcements and joints.CL 11th; Craft Construct, animate objects, fly, righteous might, spiritual weapon, caster must be at least 11th level; Price 25,000 gp; Cost 13,500 gp + 920 XP.Gargantuan 11 HD Juggernaut: Price 36,000 gp; Cost 20,000 gp + 1,280 XP.Colossal 20 HD Juggernaut: Price 52,000 gp; Cost 30,000 gp + 1,760 XP.</blockquote>
