Colossari (5e Race)
Colossari, The Titans of Light[edit]
The Colossari are towering, humanoid beings standing over 40 feet tall. Their forms are sleek and muscular, with silver-hued skin that shimmers faintly in the light. Intricate lines of glowing blue, red, or gold crisscross their bodies like natural runes. Their eyes shine like stars, and a central core of light pulses faintly in their chests, acting as both their heart and the source of their radiant powers.
Physical Description[edit]
History[edit]
The Colossari hail from the Skyhold Realms, a plane of light and energy that exists in tandem with the Material Plane. They were created in ancient times by celestial entities to defend worlds from titanic threats—aberrations, kaiju, and other colossal beings of destruction. Although once numerous, the Colossari are now rare, wandering champions who occasionally descend to mortal realms to uphold balance.
Their existence is bound by a sense of duty, and they live for centuries, often entering deep slumber until the world calls upon them once more.
Society[edit]
The Colossari society is one of ancient honor and duty, governed by a council of elder guardians who maintain the balance of the Skyhold Realms. They are a solitary race, rarely seen among other beings, as they spend centuries in meditative slumber between their duties. Their culture revolves around the protection of worlds, and they hold deep respect for strength, wisdom, and sacrifice. Colossari are bound by an unwavering sense of duty, each guardian serving as both protector and teacher to younger generations, ensuring their legacy endures across time.
