It definitely does.
The PC's, along with the armored chicken, sneak past the guard and make their way into the ruin.
Within the ruins, a towering humanoid creature with a bull’s head is observing the battle and issuing commands to demonflesh creatures. Tiny homunculi race off to deliver orders across the battlefield’s churned soil. A blood-red symbol depicting a bull’s head adorns the bull-headed creature’s armor.
"You may able to sneak past the guards, but you can not get the jump on me" The minotaur says in a calm tone.

Of course they have construct traits and immune to magic. A few exceptions: Cold and fire damage that exceed a certain amount of damage slows the golems down. Electricity breaks the slowing effect and heals the construct
