The '''koloss''' are a bestial race of creatures on [[Scadrial]], 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 serve as a powerful, fiercely loyal army to him, thanks in no small part to the fact that they can be controlled through the use of [[Allomancy]] by any powerful [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] or group of [[brass]] and/or [[zinc]] [[misting]]s.
== Appearance ==
The koloss are physically very large and very powerful. Koloss have blue skin and red eyes.
== Creation and reproduction==
Similar to [[Steel Inquisitor]]s, the creation of a koloss is very brutal. To create a koloss, four humans are stabbed with individual iron spikes through their heart, and these spikes are then placed strategically on to a fifth person. Once placed, the spikes turn the recipient into a koloss "very quickly".{{wob ref|8075}}
The addition of four spikes containing the strength and a portion of the [[spiritweb]] of four other people causes them to grow in physical strength far beyond human limits as well as making it possible for them to continue growing in size until they can no longer physically support their own bodies and their hearts give out. The four spikes also have the effect of reducing their intelligence to almost that of a basic animal. These spikes can be reused, however
The spiking, however, only affects them in the [[Physical Realm]]. When they appear in the [[Cognitive Realm]] after death, they look exactly like the humans they were before being spiked.{{
When a koloss dies, other koloss in the vicinity attempt to collect and reuse the spikes from the dead one. This results in the koloss being able to reproduce in a manner of speaking, provided that they have someone to receive the spikes. The koloss are 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; by harvesting the spikes from their dead brethren and re-using them.{{epigraph ref|mb3|42}}
Because of this, after the Lord Ruler's control over the koloss ends, many of the koloss attack nearby human inhabitants in an attempt to make more

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