There are no Furlings in Valheim, on the other hand there are Fulings, which means someone ugly or sly. Golems have nothing to do with Viking culture, but come from Jewish 12th century mythology. However, Vikings would have had to get their silver from Poland, where the golem story was popular, thus maybe explaining their inclusion in the game. The Abomination is just something the developers made up, I guess.

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...
