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 {{L|item value|masterwork}} {{L|bronze}} {{L|statue}} (worth 1500☼), great decoration for a grand entrance hall (only when the death does not include melting).<br /> <br /> Despite what one might expect, the plural of &quot;bronze colossus&quot; as specified in the raws is actually &quot;bronze colossuses&quot; rather than &quot;bronze colossi&quot;.<br /> <br /> Recently it has been discovered that, being as heavy as they are, bronze colossuses are easily injured by multi-floor falls.<br /> <br /> Because it is made of bronze most weapons will glance away, including platinum war hammers, despite {{L|platinum}} being more {{L|density|dense}} than bronze. It has been found that adamantine two-handed swords are incredibly effective as they will actually lop off the bronze colossus's limbs. <br /> <br /> Bronze Colossuses can be killed with cumulative damage, although they are still a formidable opponent for an unprepared militia. In previous versions, Bronze Colossuses were nigh invincible in combat, save via decapitation. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=56935.0 Only one such feat has been documented](using a {{L|fluffy wambler}}, no less). <br /> <br /> Like other large creatures, they resist atom smashing. Pouring magma on a bronze colossus should kill it, however it will take an extremely long melting time 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}}.<br /> <br /> On the other hand, why kill a 20-ton colossus when you can trap it in a 7-foot-wide wooden cage and use it as a center-piece for a {{L|zoo}}?<br /> <br /> {{gamedata}}<br /> {{Creatures}}<br /> {{Category|Creatures}}<br /> {{Category|Megabeasts}}</div>
