Difference between revisions of "Koloss"

The '''koloss''' were a bestial race of creatures on [[Scadrial]], featured in the [[Mistborn trilogy]], created by the [[Lord Ruler]] through the use of [[Hemalurgy]].{{book ref|b|mb3|c|37}}{{book ref|b|mb3|c|40}} During the time of the Lord Ruler, koloss served as a powerful, fiercely loyal army to him, thanks in no small part to the fact that they could be controlled through the use of [[Allomancy]] by any powerful [[Allomancy#Mistborn|Mistborn]] or group of [[brass]] [[misting]]s. {{book ref|b|mb2|c|54}}{{book ref|b|mb3|c|3}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|21}}. After Harmony's Ascension, however, the koloss were transformed into a tribal race that could breed, which lived in the [[Roughs]]. {{qa ref|428|10|What happened to the koloss?}}

The koloss were physically very large and very powerful. A full sized koloss could grow to be as tall as twelve feet. A young koloss had as much skin as it would come to have in its later life. Because of this, the younger a koloss was, the fatter they looked due to having too much baggy skin covering themselves. The skin itself didn't hold terribly firmly to the koloss' body.{{book ref|b|mb2|c|19}} When a koloss reached about twelve feet, their hearts could no longer sustain their bodies, and they would die shortly thereafter.

Most of the killing within a tribe was done solely on a whim, usually to get something the other koloss owned, or because some random glance or act had enraged one of the koloss.{{book ref|b|mb2|c|19}}
