My brain was running on auto last night, and cycled through that uthgardt red tiger/weretiger sorceror with his perfected golems and the godflesh golem from post-Gilgeam Unther. It eventually spit out the concept of an undead flesh golem. Anyone ever seen any rules for something like this?

Wow, Tulrun's flesh golems and Gilgeam's re-animated corpse!
It sounds great!

Given the godly power of a costruct like this, the flesh colossus from Epic Level Handbook (perhaps animated by the remnants of Gilgeam's soul floating on the Astral Plane) could be an option, and its appearence (so important for the Father of Victory) should remain handsome, thanks to Tulrun's devides.
Nevertheless, the size doesn't fit with Gilgeam.

I'm not in favor of the idea of an undead golem of any sort. Undead and golems have differing types of energy that animates them, and I don't see these energies playing well together.

there's the cadaver golem in Heroes of Horror

I think Libris Mortis has some, and Ravenloft Monstrous Compendium, dread golems or something

I used the Black Ice golem from Dragon 324, also animated by negative energy

My vamps undergo a physical transformation as well as a connection to the negative energy plane. This golem will not be undead but will be constructed from that transformed flesh. At least that's what I'm envisioning ATM.

There's an undead colossus in ELH- you could use that as some sort of inspiration.
