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 Koloss. When [[Vin]] visits a Koloss camp, they request for her to give them more Koloss. She does not know how, but they expect a human to be able to provide them with more Koloss, since that is what they have experienced in the past.
In the post-Catacendre era, Koloss became a self reproducing species. When two koloss reproduce, the child is born koloss-blooded. This means that they are physically strong, with a mottled granite-like complexion.{{book ref|mb4|5}} A semi-offensive term for them is "'''kig'''".{{book ref| mb6|}} Furthermore they continue to grow taller throughout their lives. They heal quickly, and are often less intelligent than average. They become a full koloss once they accept the spikes.{{wob ref|
== Powers ==
The only real powers in a koloss' arsenal are superhuman strength, and increased size. However, this comes at a price. Koloss in the [[Final Empire]] are nowhere near as intelligent as they were as humans. However, they still retain the faint ability to reason, and the ability to communicate, and the re-use of spikes from dead koloss to create more resulted in koloss that retained more of their former humanity.{{epigraph ref|mb3|42}}
Allomancers who are transformed into koloss will retain their Allomantic abilities, though they may not necessarily retain the knowledge to use those abilities.{{qa ref|692|25
== Culture==
==After the Ascension==
After [[Harmony]]'s [[Final Ascension|Ascension]], however, the koloss were transformed into a tribal race that could breed, which lived in the [[Roughs]].{{
The changes in the Koloss and their breeding subsequently allowed some koloss-blooded to become allomancers.{{book ref|aol|6}} How this is achieved is unknown, but Koloss with the powers of allomancy appear to be known in the [[Roughs]] enough to be recognised. {{book ref|aol|11}}
