The massive popularity ofElden Ringhas led many fans to create tributes to its many creative landscapes and terrifying foes. While some of these tributes aim to capture the disturbing dark fantasy mood of the original game, others cross over with more lighthearted titles. OnePokemonfan artist recently churned outElden Ring-inspired takes on Golett and Golurk.
Likeother From Software Soulsborne games,Elden Ringfeatures a wide variety of powerful enemies, minibosses, and bosses. One category of these foes is golems – giant humanoid enemies that resemble mechanical knights in heavy armor. Golems are usually activated when the player gets too close, and these slow-moving giants invariably become hostile after activation.

Twitter user bromojumbo’s most recent attempt tocombineElden Ringmonsters withPokemontakes the form of two variant forms for Golett and Golurk. Golett and its evolution Golurk are dual-type Ground/Ghost Pokemon introduced in the Generation V games. In their standard forms, they are humanoid figures carved from green rock and decorated with yellow runes and leather straps. Bromojumbo’s take on them draws heavily from theElden Ringgolem designs and changes their typing as a result.
In the image,Golett and Golurk are reimaginedas Rock/Fighting-type Pokemon. These variant forms have the same overall shape as the original designs–Golette being small and round, Golurk being tall and bulky. However, theElden Ringaesthetic changes their green color scheme to a dull gray and their rocky skin to suits of armor. Furthermore, the armor is as battered and torn as the armor ofElden Ringgolems tends to be. Bright orange light can be seen peeking through cracks and gaps in the armor. This is the golem’s power source becoming visible as the external body is damaged.
It appears that other fans of both series are quite impressed with bromojumbo’s work. However, one reply stated that theElden Ringvariant forms should be Rock/Flying, as at least one golem falls from the sky in the game. This isn’t the first timeElden Ringfans havecombined its monster designs withPokemon, but it may be one of the most fitting.
Golett and Golurk are already inspired by the mythology of golems and other humanoid constructs, which means the parallel toElden Ring’s golems makes perfect sense. The two sets of monsters already share the same roots, although thePokemondesigns are clearly intended to be cuter and friendlier than the more menacingElden Ringdesigns.
Elden Ringis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
