Stone golem is part of the Forest Faction, the other Undead, i don't remember anything about these...

Hrungnir is probably the inspiration for stone golems. He was like a stone made Jotunn (giant) that dueled Thor and got whooped or something.

Surtlings are named after Surtr, a Norse Jotunn (Giant) associated with fire.

According to wikipedia, draugar are a mix of intelligent and malicious (modern, dead) zombies for the look, phantoms of evil persons who don't want to die, and vampires who can transmit their malediction. They might also be related to persons who were accidentaly burried alive in the past (the later not specific to Scandinavian folklore, though).

i think they should re-word it to "elemental" though. The golem was clay and man-made, while the mountain guys seem more like a (super)natural occurrence.

Or hey, perhaps they too were made, by the fallen civilization that built all the mountain castles...

While some aspects of the game have real world folklore origins, not everything does.

Draugr are undead creatures from Scandinavian saga folktales. Revenants that kept near their graves, or royal palaces, guarding treasures buried with them in their burial mounds.

Are you asking about internal lore or historical folklore?
