Finally. I’ve always said this comic needs more masturbation jokes. ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > So I guess Crystal got sold to the Golem maker, then. Probably not; according to people in the thread for this strip over on the GITP forum, he was killed off in a bonus strip in one of the books. Plus, most golem types don’t speak. ---

Well maybe she got sold to _A_ golem maker… 'Cos I really don’t think a resurrected Crystal would be able to pack that kind of a punch. Or keep her hair like that. ---

Crystal killed the golem maker, so I don’t know how keen he’d be to bring her back even if he was resurrected. ---

She’s undead, not a golem. She can speak, and retains some memories about her past. A golem, like the one Roy got turned into, is mindless and can’t talk. Roy wasn’t undead, he was basically a machine made out of human body parts. Crystal’s been spending time with a genuine necromancer. ---

You’re probably right, **Miller**. I don’t recall seeing purple undead in the strip before now though; am I forgetting an instance? ---

> [@squeegee](#): > > You’re probably right, **Miller**. I don’t recall seeing purple undead in the strip before now though; am I forgetting an instance? If they preserved her body in some sort of readily available alcohol, like wine (stuff her into a wine barrel), until they could get her to a necromancer then the body would be stained purple. ---

The stitching and mega-punch still makes me think “golem”. Hey, if this world can have crazy vampire rules, I’m not ruling out golem just yet. ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > The stitching and mega-punch still makes me think “golem”. Likewise. Note, BTW, that it takes [six corpses](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0577.html)to make a golem. It isn’t just Crystal. It appears to have a male torso. It doesn’t dress like Crystal. its hair is grey, Crystal’s was black. It doesn’t even have her earrings. So I think its Crystals brain and little else of her. ---

Roy wasn’t undead, he was basically a machine made out of human body parts. Crystal’s been spending time with a genuine necromancer. Roy was turned into a Bone Golem; Crystal’s been turned into a Flesh Golem, and the archetypical Flesh Golem could most certainly speak. ---
