Crafted from an exquisite arrangement of forcecages

threaded with voidstone beads, an annihilation golem is only
useful for destruction. No quality of light will illuminate its
surface, and it is silent, as the sound of its motion is
immediately quenched from existence. Its touch obliterates
matter.
Great Caryatid Column
A caryatid column is a sculpted female figure serving as an
architectural support. A typical caryatid resembles a slender
human female wielding a sword.
Great caryatids are 15 feet tall, usually found in pairs
supporting an entablature over the portals of ancient temples
and palaces. An activated caryatid takes on life-like
pigmentation and her stone sword becomes steel. She will do
whatever is required to protect her designated location or
object, which may involve combat or luring the intruders
away. Upon completion, she returns to her original position
and transforms back into a stone statue.
Broken weapons scattered around the caryatid's base
provide a clue to their defensive feature. A caryatid's surface
is enchanted to shatter weapons, including magical ones!
Melee fighters quickly learn to hate these constructs.
The great caryatid column is based on my caryatid column
on the D&D Wiki, here.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5ft.,
one target. Hit 16 (2d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
Reverse Gravity Ray (Recharge 5–6). The golem
targets one creature it can see within 100 feet of it.
The target must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving
throw. On a failed save, gravity is reversed for the
target: if they are not anchored, they begin to fall
upwards. The target can repeat the saving throw to
grab onto a fixed object it can reach to avoid the
fall.
In an open enviroment, the target falls to a
maximum altitude of 100 feet where it remains for
the duration. Otherwise, if the target encounters a
solid object in the fall, it strikes it just as they
would during a normal downard fall.
The effect lasts for 1 minute or until the golem
uses the reverse grtavity ray again. When the effect
ends, the affected creature falls back down.
