| This article is about the technique. For the summon, see Earth Prison Golem. |
This technique allows the user to create a large, humanoid creature composed of rock that can either be expelled from the user's mouth or formed from a nearby, pre-existing source of earth. Depending on the user, the golem can be formed instantly.[2]
The size of the golem differs depending on use, but it always possesses an ample amount of brute strength, being able to bite and tear through a White Zetsu clone.[3] It is very durable, being able to withstand a point-blank explosion.[4] This makes the golem ideal whether it be serving as additional support or simply as a mobile shield.[5]
Trivia
- While in the manga this technique is only described as Rock Golem (岩のゴーレム, Iwa no Gōremu), it is explicitly named in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations. It was later named in the fourth databook.
- Similar to many techniques from Kumogakure, the game name for this technique is an English word given kanji that somewhat matches its pronunciation.
