Mind you, I've always spelled it "Yukub Kakix" and he was a golem, but that probably comes from the book of ancient Mayan Fairy Tales that forgot to describe him as a bird and got his name wrong.

I compromised. I kept him a golem, but spelled his first name with a V.

The Shadow Golem was meant to show up much earlier. While working on Andrea's death scene, originally, shadows were supposed to come crawling around the tower and a shadow golem would have crawled around from the top, stomping his hands and shaking the tower until she fell. I scrapped that thinking that the Shadows don't really have a "physical" substance to be making stompy shakes with.

There's another golem out there named Chicxulub.

Talking about the toddler at the very beginning of the first story. The original has "...like any other child, black, brown, or yellow," and the edit is "...like any child." I may have the wording slightly off (working from memory), but that's the gist.
