Minecraft Dungeons:Tempest Golem

The Tempest Golem is a new boss mob of the new Minecraft Dungeons DLC Howling Peaks. It is a larger and more powerful variant of the Squall Golem.

Appearance
The Tempest Golem is a colossal golem-like mob and a variant of the Squall Golem. It retains the colors and features of a typical Squall Golem, with it being gray, being made of stone, having a golden back, and the signature two windmill-like poles. The only things differing it is its head, which is more square than rectangle, a purple stud on its forehead, smaller eyes, and a big jaw. Jade banners can be seen hanging below the Golem's chin, and its front body possesses more intricate etched lines and 4 jade blocks on each end of its body. Both of it’s arms possess giant gold swords with purple stripes going down the middle. It has 2 relatively large feet, made of mainly stone and also gold at the bottom. The Tempest Golem also has a large purple button on it’s chest, which is covered by two jade-coloured panels with a swirl symbol on them. These two panels are considered it’s shield, that it protects this large button with. In a leaked model showed off on a Howling Peaks episode of Minecraft Dungeons Diaries, the golem appeared to be 9 to 12 blocks tall.

Origin
Unlike other mobs created by the Orb of Dominance, it does not have bright purple eyes. It does however, have a purple mouth and crest-like feature on its head. The strange eye color may be due to the golem's structure. However, it does have purple pupils similar to the Arch-Illager It could also be that Squall Golems were guardians of the mountains before the Shard of the Orb came, and when it came it simply took control of a Squall Golem and gained control of all of them. This would also explain the Tempest Golem's resemblance to Squall Golems, and it's purple pupils that are similar to the Arch-Illager when he is in a trance. It is possible that the Shard is contained in the Golem's head. It appears to be made of the same materials as Squall Golems, with the addition of the Shard's energy, though all of this is not yet known as of now.

Behavior
The majority of the behavior and attacks of the Tempest Golem are currently unknown. It will be able to attack to the front and to the side with the two swords on both arms. According to the blog post about Minecraft Live 2020, it may also be able to summon dangerous winds which could be similar to the attack of the Windcaller. It can use the two panels covering it’s button to attack by swinging them open, and then closing them. However, it appears to only be effective at close range. The button on it’s chest is revealed when the Tempest Golem is stunned or the shields are deactivated.
