Comparable myths about animated statues can be found in other places, for example the Greek God Hephaestus creating gold and silver maidens to help him out, being crippled and everything also to have sex with because his wife fucked everyone but him.

There's about as many kinds of Golem as there are things out of which you could potentially make them, from quasi-robot Steel Golems to quasi-Frankenstein's Monster Flesh Golems. You could even use clay, if you're the kind of person whose pet tortoises die of boredom, though they do have some unique abilities. Chiefly, hasting themselves and having a chance of going berserk.
