The warforged colossi were larger-scale versions of the warforged titans commissioned by the nation of Cyre and developed by House Cannith during the final days of the Last War . They were intended to be a superweapon to defend Cyre and destroy its enemies; however, the Day of Mourning occurred shortly after they were first used, destroying Cyre. [2] While some colossi survived and remain operational or in stasis in the Mournland , the dangers of the Mournland make it difficult for House Cannith to reclaim their creations. [1]
History
House Cannith had conducted a number of experiments with large war golems during the Last War, the most successful of which were the warforged titans. While the modern warforged were Cannith's most successful creation, the House still had interest in building larger-scale constructs. When Cyre approached House Cannith to build a deadlier weapon, House Cannith began development of the warforged colossus. [2]
Cyre first deployed the warforged colossi in battle to defend its capital of Metrol against Karrnathi forces, destroying hundreds of soldiers, but before Cyre could take advantage of its victory, the Day of Mourning occurred on the 20th of Olarune , 994 YK , wiping out the nation of Cyre, along with many of the warforged colossi. [1] [2]
While the colossi were lost or destroyed in the Mourning, House Cannith is still interested in tracking down the remaining warforged colossi, in the hopes that some are still operational or at least salvageable for parts. [1]
Description

The warforged colossus is a massive construct ranging from 200 to 300 feet (61‒91 meters) in height. They were barely sentient, similar to the warforged titans in their intelligence, and this was supplemented by a crew. The colossus was powered by a large Khyber dragonshard , and a network of docents were used to coordinate the various parts of the colossus. [2] The interior of a colossus was hollow to allow it to carry troops. [1]
Abilities
A colossus had multiple weapons. It had arcane turrets and could use its arms and legs to crush enemies. In addition it could use elemental weapons and defenses. Its most terrifying weapon was a red beam from its mouth that could disintegrate large swaths of soldiers. [1] [2]
