Copper Golem

Villages are protected by Iron golems which are great at fighting things up close, however they have a difficult time dealing with ranged threats like illager's and skeletons. Also, given the Iron Golems large frame are unable to get to the things that are in closed spaces. A zombie gets in a house the iron golem cant help from the outside. What if in addition to adding Copper in the Caves and Cliffs update we got a new Golem to help defend the villagers. A copper golem that fights by shooting arrows. They can be the opposite of the iron golem, smaller than the player and villagers and much less health. They could be cowardly as copper is a softer metal than iron, and fire/lightening proof (both things the Iron golem lacks) it would give Copper more functionality and be something the players could build to boost village defenses. They could engage at a certain range to fight but when the threat gets too close the copper golem flees, it would keep the Iron golem relevant while also making the duo depend on each other. It could be built by placing a Pumpkin on a single Copper block, Just like the snow and Iron Golems.

    I love this idea, but for balance reasons, i believe the golem should still be big but flat, so 1 block tall but probably 3 blocks long and 2 blocks wide, and it would be cool if it looked like a walking ballista.

    When struck by lightning,it can absorb it and can use a lightning projectile which can perform a multiple attack of lightning and can also paralize and disable the enemies for atleast 3 seconds,But....After being struck by lightning,the absorbed lightning bolt buff can only last for 30sec.

    I agree but I feel like it should be around the same as the iron golem in size but you put a dispenser in the middle to build it instead so it can shoot.

    The Idea of a Copper golem is great, but a Golem with a Bow?? I would say in colder biomes such as snowy tundra and ice spike and winter villages there are copper golems and in the plains, desert and savanna there are Iron golems. This would mean we could farm copper like Iron, but It wouldn't ruin the way speed runners play the game. I wouldn't change the model or behaviour, just the texture to keep the good old Minecraft feel

    the copper golem should attract lightning like a lightning rod, and use an electric aura to harm mobs that come too close.
