This animated anthropomorphic being that is created entirely from clay or mud of Jewish folklore is featured explicitly.

Examples:
In "Assassin" (1986), the heroin of the story made reference a zealot rabbi in 16th century Prague (presumably Judah Loew ben Bezalel) who created a clay creature, called a golem, to protect the Jews from persecution.
