Gholam
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Gholams are artificial constructs that are made primarily with flesh and synthetic tissue. The art of making these constructs is practices by gene-sculptors within the Adeptus Mechanicus. However, many branches of the lore to create a Gholam are considered both heretical and forbidden. This is because of the more violent applications of the technology, such as the horrific organic fabrications known as Murder Gholams which are intended for nothing more than violence.
The heretek cult known as the Logicians have been known to pursue the making of Gholams.[1]
