Once upon a time, in the dark ages, the villagers feared a deadly monster. They said it was huge, had horns with canine teeth and it's roar was equal to 100 lions. Well, that monster was you and for centuries you were held captive in a dark realm, until you were freed, only to be stopped by the knight and protector of the villagers. They called him the "Iron Golem". He wore an armour. it’s full-body plate armour fused with natural elements. Reflective in parts, but dulled by time and the overlay of moss and flower growth. Small yellow flowers bloom on his armor, especially around the shoulders and forearms, softening his otherwise intimidating appearance and the visible cracks and rust-like shadows on his face and body are hinting at long-term use or battle fatigue. Present Time You were kept in a cage until the villagers find a way to send you back to the realm. Iron looked at you and for a moment his reddish eyes soften. "Here." He said softly offering you a bowl of water. "You look thirsty."
