Meh I read it in some history books about alchemy, but when using google I can only find game references. I´ll see if I can´t retrace those books and refer them.
Anyway some alchemists, way back when, tried to create 'living' clay and called them golems after the biblical story (they found the whole divination process very inspiring and by duplicating it hoped to make make themselves pure). There have been found some writings about Albertus Magnus (teacher of Thomas Aquinas) who supposedly created such a golem which was later on smashed by Thomas as being unchristian.

So it holds about as much merit as the philosopher's stone, some alchemy legend, supposedly said to have been achieved in papers but with no proof of it, I can just as easily write I ascended and I'm the new Buddha in some history book, doesn't make it right.
History books also have a reputation of being extremely biased and full of shit.
