18th Shard Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Suppose you create a koloss. Then you spike a Feruchemist and take the ability to store/tap youth Feruchemically and give it to the koloss. Could the koloss then control its size (as they grow massively as they age), getting large for a fight and the shrinking it back down to normal for life. If you made them an atium compounder, would they be able to remain roughly human-sized indefinitely, only growing when they stopped tapping youth? Popup Koloss army. Just add atium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The One Who Connects Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Brandon has said that an Allomancer made into a Koloss should retain their powers, but may or may not have the mental capacity to use said powers. Any supposition on the effects being a Koloss has on the powers is up for debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 what if a rioter/soother/mistbon controlling a koloss made it burn the metals, also the ability in theory i think would work, though atium is used to store age, so for an army of coloss, all storing age, you would need a lot of atium to make the metal minds, good theory though.

+hwiles Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Considering that allomancer Jak was almost turned into a koloss, and weve seen koloss blooded mistings, I wouldn't be shocked to see misting and feruchemist Koloss in The Lost Metal. It's been hinted at for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnsworth Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Koloss are only capable of feeling boredom and rage. They are among the dumbest creatures in all the Cosmere, save perhaps chulls. If it took Vin a good amount of training from Kelseir to really learn how to use her allomancy, it seems unlikely that a koloss would be able to control it themselves. About the atium however, we haven't seen anybody learn how to use ferchemy, so it might be easier. We don't really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In HoA, Vin points out that they can feel fear, and it slightly weakens them. So I imagine they can feel more emotions, and the fact that they can speak puts them a small step above animals. Edit: to clarify, I still think they'd need a lot of training to use Allomancy, but they aren't dumb beasts. They are just.. straightforward Edited March 24, 2017 by The One Who Connects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
