Bone Colossus

Bestiary entry by Aldric Shadowmark, Grand Hunters Lodge

Classification: Constructed Undead
Origin: Mass graves, battlefields
Threat Level: Extreme

Description

When a necromancer of great power draws upon a battlefield or mass grave, the bones of hundreds may fuse into a single towering horror - the Bone Colossus. Standing thirty feet or more, these skeletal giants are siege weapons given unholy life.

Behavior

Bone Colossi follow their creator commands without question. They lack the intelligence for independent action but execute orders with terrifying efficiency. Without commands, they simply destroy anything living nearby.

Combat Notes

Target the binding runes usually inscribed on the skull or spine. Destroying enough bones eventually collapses the structure. Holy magic disrupts the animating force. Requires coordinated group effort.
