A psion-killer (also called a crystal golem) is 9 1/2 feet tall and weighs around 2,500 pounds. Its body is composed of sharply faceted crystal.

These golems are created to be the bane of all psionic creatures and characters, despite the name. Their crystal bodies may be carved with symbols promising death to psionic beings or simply, bear utilitarian psionic tattoos.

COMBAT

Psion-killers do nothing without explicit orders from their creator. They follow instructions literally and are incapable of any strategy or tactics. They don’t use weapons, even if ordered to, but always strike with their fists. A psion-killer's creator can command it if the golem is within 60 feet and can see and hear its creator.

Mind Feed (Ex): A phthisic that hits with its bite attack deals 1d4 points of temporary Intelligence damage. If this reduces the opponent's Intelligence score to 0, the damage becomes permanent.

Regeneration (Ex): Fire and acid deal normal damage to a phthisic.

Psionics (Sp): At will—brain lock, dimension slide, and skate. These abilities are as the powers manifested by a 15th-level psion.

Attack/Defense Modes (Sp): At will—ego whip, id insinuation/mental barrier, thought shield.
