This new (ish) errata specifies Simulacrum is both a 'creature' and a 'construct'. As such it is a non-living creature similar to undead and golems. The spell Clone specifies the target must be 'living' (and 'medium' sized - sorry: gnomes, goblins and halflings). Thus one cannot Clone any kind of Flesh Golem either.
Golems don't have that kind of a restriction, and although costly, you could conceivably create many golems to protect a major metropolis with the time and resources. An individual golem is far more powerful than typically created undead. The difference between a CR 5 and a CR 1/2 is pretty high. Golem creation isn't considered evil.
If you really want to separate a flesh golem, but all you have are 10th level wizards, warlocks, or sorcerers, there is an option. A weird, expensive, and grizzly option. A weird, expensive, and grizzly option.
Sometimes a golem’s creator is the master of the art, but often the individual who desires a golem must enlist master artisans to do the work. After constructing the body from clay, flesh, iron, or stone, the golem’s creator infuses it with a spirit from the Elemental Plane of Earth. This tiny spark of life has no memory, personality, or ...
Traditionally, the flesh golem is alive... it's ALIVE!!. Not so with 5e D&D of course, it is just another automaton but made with soggy RAW parts. Too bad of course (some amazing clips and reels of lore just... left on the cutting room floor as it were) - but RAW is RAW.
So a Golem may well find things that harm them, or represent their destruction, to be distasteful in minor amounts, so suggestions below: Clay Golem: a ball of clay that has been squashed into a formless shape; Flesh Golem: a lit taper or glowing coal; Iron Golem: a pinch of rust; Stone Golem: a handful of gravel
This card refers to Vasilka the flesh golem (see chapter 8, area S13).-- p. 17, Strahd's Enemy. Area S13 is on pp. 150-151, and the entirety of her description (ignoring the "boxed text") is this: The woman in the tattered red gown is Vasilka, a flesh golem that has been exquisitely put together to serve as Strahd's bride. Characters within 5 ...
So the flesh golem's poisoned condition immunity does not automatically give it immunity to poison damage, however listed among its damage immunities (the entry above condition immunities ) is poison damage, so it is also immune to the damage type.
\$\begingroup\$ @3C273 Tales from the Yawning Portal adventures are classic fairly hardcore adventures (despite the 5E makeover) culminating in the original ToH. It's "if your characters don't solve these puzzles and try to bull through, they'll probably die" territory."
The answer below is excellent. No, as Golems are not alive. From the spell Clone: This spell grows an inert duplicate of a living creature as a safeguard against death... So the spell requires a living target. From the description of Golems, we see they are not living (MM p.167):
