Golem
From X-Files Wiki
A golem was a being in Jewish folklore that could be created out of mud. They were described as servants connected to their creators. Such creatures were thought of as abominations, and the rituals for their creation arcane and hideous. Golems were not renanimated, but rather entirely new beings and capable of only the basest of emotions and sensation. The golems were activated and deactivated by writing magic words on their bodies. In the Kaddish episode following the murder of Isaac Luria, Ariel Luria conjured a golem in his image that began killing Isaac's killers. Mulder and Scully were brought in to investigate the murders. Mulder encountered the golem in the synagogue, where it proved impervious to bullets. the golem is showed to be activated by the word Emet (truth in Hebrew) on its hand, and deactivated when Ariel erased the first letter (aleph) turning the writing into Met, which means "dead".
