Tamriel Wolfsbaine Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Kolossblooded. Will they end up with extra strength and durability or is that not a physiological thing that can be transfered? And... Will it stack with a blessing of potency? If consuming a dog or horse gets to be stronger / faster or you are able to obtain the olfactory senses of an animal would you be able to gain the rewards of consuming a kolossblooded in a similar fashion?
a Faceless Immortal he/him Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 I guess it depends; are koloss-blooded stronger than your average person because of residual investiture or is it simply a genetic thing? This WoB makes me think it's the latter: Quote Questioner 1 Alloy of Law. We've got koloss-born guys. What's their origin? Brandon Sanderson So... Currently in Mistborn-- And I delve into this a lot more in the later books, but, you know, it's not a big spoiler so I can tell you. Um... Koloss have become... They can breed, but when some-- when a child is born to them it is born as a koloss-blood. It is not born the full thing, right? Grows up normally, and at maturity, at their right of passing, they can choose to ma-- take the step, gain-- get the spikes, and turn into actual, true koloss. Or if they don't, they have to leave the tribe and go... You know. Questioner 1 But they're more, like, human size? Like, human looking? Brandon Sanderson They're human size, human-- I mean, they've got some residual effects. They're a little bit tougher. But yeah. General, they can be human. And so what you're seeing in Tarson is some-- one of those who actually came and-- He's the son of a full koloss-blood and a human Allomancer, which makes an Allomancer koloss-blood. Questioner 1 Okay. So that's what I thought. A little human interbreeding. *unintelligible* weird. Brandon Sanderson Yeah, um, and a human could, if they wanted to, go convince the koloss to accept them, join the tribe, and get spiked. So yeah... Questioner 2 It makes their skin saggy, and they start growing...? Brandon Sanderson Yeah. It makes their skin saggy, and start growing, and start ripping, and all that sort of stuff.

Yes. Kolossblooded's strength comes from their body, they don't have any spikes, so Kandra can replicate that. And it will stack with Blessings. 1
