Mesabi

Made with deviantART muro

this is a Mesabi
it is a golem summoned by tribal shamans that can only protect a person or group.
i have yet to create the world that this belongs in.

how to summon one
first you need to gather the pieces
for the body you can make it out of anything as long as it is not too big. rock is commonly used to make these golems because they do not wear down easily like wood or any other common material. the rocks are usually carved or smashed a bit to look a certain way so that the friction between rocks doesn't wear it away.
you must create a totem to place its head
the totems on his head will symbolize what he must protect, to protect a place you need to place a replica of the totem on his head into the ground and he will protect that place from unwelcome intruders, to protect a group you need to make the totem on his head the symbol that represents the group you want protected.
to protect a person he just needs to be linked to him by the shaman creating the golem.

generally it protects whatever it is linked to
a symbol, a face, a totem, a tree, a rock and so on.

sorry if no background makes it look like a bit of an eyesore, right now i am only making the characters, i can put them in more detailed drawing later. prob wont be for awhile though.
