At the moment{{version|0.31.02}}, bronze colossuses are virtually impossible to kill. Wounds that are not instantly fatal do not accumulate to cause death, so typically only killing blows such as head removals will take one down, though presently [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=56935.0 only one such feat has been documented](using a {{L|Fluffy wambler}} no less). Bronze colossuses, until further patching, are invincible to dwarfs in melee. The Dwarven Atom Smashing technique may work, although this has yet to be tested. Pouring magma on a bronze colossus should kill it, however it will take a long, long time melting unless large amounts of magma are used. A tamed {{L|Dragon}} might also be quite effective, since the colossuses can be melted with dragonfire (which is also much faster than small amounts of magma). Freezing or solidifying a bronze colossus in obsidian should kill it, as will a {{L|cave-in}}.

This article is about an older version of DF.
A gigantic magic statue made of bronze and bent on mayhem.

A bronze colossus is a megabeast. When one takes up residence near a fortress, it's up to those within to make an end of it, or it will make an end of them. Upon its death, a bronze colossus becomes a Template:L Template:L Template:L (worth 1500☼), great decoration for a grand entrance hall (only when the death does not include melting).

Despite what one might expect, the plural of "bronze colossus" as specified in the raws is actually "bronze colossuses" rather than "bronze colossi".

At the momentv0.31.02, bronze colossuses are virtually impossible to kill. Wounds that are not instantly fatal do not accumulate to cause death, so typically only killing blows such as head removals will take one down, though presently only one such feat has been documented(using a Template:L no less). Bronze colossuses, until further patching, are invincible to dwarfs in melee. The Dwarven Atom Smashing technique may work, although this has yet to be tested. Pouring magma on a bronze colossus should kill it, however it will take a long, long time melting unless large amounts of magma are used. A tamed Template:L might also be quite effective, since the colossuses can be melted with dragonfire (which is also much faster than small amounts of magma). Freezing or solidifying a bronze colossus in obsidian should kill it, as will a Template:L.

On the other hand, why would one kill a colossus; caged it makes a perfect center-piece for a Template:L.
