[[File:Koloss.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Two 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|mb3|37}}{{book ref|mb3|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|mb2|54}}{{book ref|mb3|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?|date=2009-07}}
When a fellow koloss dies, other koloss in the vicinity would attempt to collect and reuse the spikes from the dead one. This resulted in the koloss being able to reproduce in a manner of speaking, provided that they had someone to stick the spikes into. The koloss were periodically supplied with fresh spikes and skaa captives to produce more koloss, but after the death of the Lord Ruler, they learned how to reproduce on their own, via harvesting the spikes from their dead brethren and re-using them.{{epigraph ref|mb3|42}}
