Colossus

Physical Description

Colossus are construct creatures usually made of stone. They are all anthropogenic and shape in size, almost like an unfinished human.
They look like large humans but lack any reproductive organs. Usually, somewhere on their body,
typically on their shoulders or on their lower arms, is a weapon which the colossus can fire as an action.

History

Constructs are either animated objects or any type of artificially constructed creatures.
Most constructs are non-intelligent automatons with neither a soul nor a purpose beyond service to their creator.
Because few constructs are truly alive, usually operated only by a "spark" of life, most are immune to attacks that target the living.
Colossus are familiar to constructs; statues that are much bigger than life size that have been brought to life with powerful magic or by
extreamly creative minds, able to create the most innovative machines and creations.

Random Height and Weight

Base Height	Height Modifier*	Base Weight	Weight Modifier**
4′ 0″	+1d20	120 lb.	× (2*(heightmod^2)) lb.
*Height = base height + height modifier **Weight = base weight + (height modifier × weight modifier)

(e.g. Size is 4 + 1d20(rolled 14) = 18 feet. --> Weight is 120*(14^2)*2 = 120*196*2 = 47040 lb. :) yes you are heavy... very heavy.)
