A stone colossus, which was also called a statue-that-walked, was an extremely rare and powerful form of stone golem.[1]
Description[]
These creations resembled extremely large stone golems.[1]
Combat[]
These immensely powerful creations only attacked with their fists. They could only be harmed by enchanted weapons. A transmute rock to mud spell would slow them for several minutes, while a transmute mud to rock spell would completely heal them. A flesh to stone spell did not cause them harm, but did allow mundane weapons to harm them while the spell was active. A stone colossus was immune to all other forms of magic. The mere sight of a marching stone colossus usually sent all enemies fleeing in terror.[1]
Behavior[]
Once activated, a stone colossus reverted to its original programming that required it to destroy any edifice not constructed by its original creator. Supposedly there was a way to reprogram them, but this method was lost to history. They could be stopped from their rampage by a detailed ritual that lasted for days and involved placing special glyphs on all existing stone colossi.[1]
History[]
The stone colossi were magical warriors created by a race of giants who once inhabited the Old Empires.[1]
