Crystal Golems are hostile monsters distinguished by their massive rocky blue bodies and glowing crystal orbs.
Elite Crystal Golems, however, are red instead of blue and possess additional attacks, making obtaining the Red Crystal a more arduous task than other Elite drops.
Be careful traversing the Inner Crystalline Caverns, as they may quickly send you into the void at a moment's notice.
