Diamond golems are construct humanoid monsters in ADOM. They are very dangerous late-game monsters that have very high PV and resist all magical attacks except magic missiles. Additionally, their attacks are not only very strong and accurate but always penetrate armor, making them dangerous to take on in melee even for powerful late-game PCs. Very powerful (and preferably construct slaying) missiles seem like the optimal solution to defeating these monsters; otherwise, be armed with a very powerful melee weapon and make sure to monitor the PC's HP carefully.
