Immunity to Magic (Ex): A chia golem 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 noted below.
Spells that deal cold or fire damage function normally against chia golems, and appear to wither the component plants.
Antiplant shell and hold plant affects chia golems as if they were plants.
A transmute rock to mud spell destroys a chia golem unless it succeeds on a saving throw. The component plants may survive (and possibly even thrive) in the resulting mud as long as conditions are right.
A blight spell affects the chia golem as if it were a plant, but deals only half damage (quarter damage on a successful save).
A diminish plants spell....
Should plant growth heal it (at least partially)?
I could easily see diminish plants dealing it damage.

2d2 or 2d8 seems more appropriate. I would go with 2d6, as it does have a decent strength score. It should only have one slam attack though (as it is not humanoid, it does not have 2 arms) and thus gain 1½ strength, which should make up for any deficiency it lacks from not having the full 2d8 or 2d10.

I'm a bit undecided on whether these should get 1 or 2 slams; the original description makes a point of listing some humanoid shapes for them.
For DR, clay golems have DR 10/adamantine and bludgeoning. I'm not sure if these should be quite as tough. And, since they're hollow, I'd almost expect bludgeoning to be enough to overcome DR all by itself. We could go adamantine or bludgeoning or perhaps another easier alternative could be DR 10/magic and bludgeoning.
