I know that there *are* answers to all of my objections, but I'm not satisfied with them.For one thing, it should be Dragon [Chaotic, Evil, Extraplanar], at which point, the outsider part becomes almost... immaterial. Why do I have to choose whether it's an outsider or a dragon? Can't it be both? And that's not just for the badly defined nature of "outsider"-- all of my examples are set up on the same 'hook'.For the flesh golem-- To prove I'm not totally insane, look at the collosii in the Epic handbook. Their flesh golem had undeadlike traits, as I recall. I can see the flesh golem as a purely construct-like thing, but I can also see it as stitched together corpses animated by the foul powers of unlife.
