Bone Colossi are large aggressive undead creatures made from bones. While most Bone Colossi are elite difficulty enemies, smaller and weaker versions are usually summoned by NPC Bonelords to assist them in battle.
Variants
- Dread Bone Colossus, a miniboss difficulty enemy occasionally summoned by Molag Bal at an anchor to serve as the final boss.
Skills and Abilities
In combat, Bone Colossi employ various techniques skills to defeat their enemies. The first is a basic melee strike, which does moderate damage. The next ability, telegraphed by a red cone, is a frontal smash that will do moderate damage as well as stagger any opponent hit by it. Lastly, the colossus will summon four smaller skeletons called Risen Dead. The smaller skeletons don't do a lot of damage with their swipes, but they will self destruct after a few moments dealing high damage in a small radius around themselves as indicated by a red circle.
As they are considered elites, Bone Colossi are immune to all crowd control effects. As undead, Bone Colossi are vulnerable to Fighters Guild skills.
