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|name=WoRbeaverton1417}} [[Wax]] estimates [[Tarson]] to be young purely by his short but stocky frame.{{book ref|mb4|19}}
 
== 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|An Allomancer turned into a koloss would keep their powers because, as you'll recall, an Allomancer turned in to an Inquisitor retains their powers.|date=15 October 2010}}

==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]].{{qawob ref|1097|8|Koloss reproduce naturally|date=6 December 20141381}} As a true breeding race, Koloss raise koloss-blooded children. Those who chose can turn into full koloss at the age of twelve in a coming-of-age ritual where they choose to accept the requisite spikes or not. Those who do not accept the spikes leave, and live outside the tribe. Additionally, outsiders can choose to become koloss through this ritual.{{wob ref|name=WoRbeaverton1417}}
 
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}}
