Ah, Colossus - the home of the Yellow Colossi, high up in the mountains and covered in snow! It's definitely a cold place, so bundle up before visiting! It's also a bit dangerous - the monks have learned to live in peace with the wild animals, but that doesn't mean you're exempt! Watch out for the yaks and mountain goats, and you should be okay, though. They tend to scale the mountain sides, so the further down you stay, the better!
But if exploring the area's your schtick, just make sure not to hurt the animals - you don't want to upset the locals!

Food in Colossus isn't really what you'd be looking forward to, unless it's your thing... they live off of veggies, rice and tofu here! It's all very flavorful due to their masterful cooking, but if you want something savory and meaty, you'll definitely have to look elsewhere. Sorry about that! It goes the same with jobs... nothing to get here! But the Colossi will lend out housing and money if you need it - but don't expect it all the time. If it's obvious you're bumming off of their charity, you'll get kicked out of the realm a week as punishment!
You can build houses in the realm, though - just get permission from the monks, first!

Colossus is also known for another thing - the "calming and soothing" game of hockey! The realm is home to the biggest ice rink in the world, and they definitely use it, holding hockey games every Saturday night. You can even join in and play! But when it's not being used, it's open to the public for anything else.

The Spring Power-up here in Colossus is active - use them to get around the realm easier, instead of having to scale mountain sides and walk thousands of stairs. Just step in between the columns, and boing - you'll be up a whole level in the realm!
