→Creation and reproduction
|
When a koloss dies, other koloss in the vicinity attempt to collect and reuse the spikes from the dead one. This results in the koloss being able to reproduce in a manner of speaking, provided that they have someone to receive the spikes. The koloss are periodically supplied with fresh spikes and skaa captives to produce more koloss, but after the death of the Lord Ruler, they learned how to reproduce on their own; by harvesting the spikes from their dead brethren and re-using them.{{epigraph ref|mb3|42}}
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.{{ref|name=WoRbeaverton}} [[Wax]] estimates [[Tarson]] to be young purely by his short but stocky frame.{{book ref|mb4|19}}
