Golem, Plague
From Monsterbook
This creature is humanoid in shape and reeks of decay. A closer look shows that it appears to be stitched together from pieces of leather into the semblance of humanity. Where some of the stitches have come apart, rotted pieces of flesh threaten to spill out.

Spell Vulnerabilities (Su): The plague golem has a high spell resistance for its CR, but it is vulnerable to some spells that its SR is not effective against. A remove disease spell or effect will suppress the plague golem's breath attack, DR, and SR for 1d4+1 rounds. A slow poison neutralize poison spell or effect causes the golem to act as if confused for a number of rounds equal to the spell caster.
Vulnerability to Turning (Ex): Because of the necromantic energies used to create a plague golem, it can be affected by a cleric's successful turn or rebuke attempt. A successful turn check will cause a plague golem to be dazed for one round.
Breath Attack (Su): Every 1d4 rounds a plague golem can spew a 30-foot cone of vapor that spreads a virulent disease. The disease incubates instantly, and the victim must roll one saving throw immediately, followed by another save
Pestilence (Su): infect any nearby crops and foodstuffs. Living creatures within 10 feet of a plague golem must succeed at a Fortitude save or become diseased. Usually #, but
Stench (Su):
