It is said that the colossus-born creatures were created by a strange entity who in death cursed a child, the descendant of that child were born larger and stronger and with signs of corruption.

Creating a Colossus-born[edit]
Colossus-born is an inherited template that can be any creature of the humanoid, monstrous humanoid or giant type.
Ability Scores: A colossus-born receives a +6 bonus to Strength and Constitution.
Size and Type: A colossus-born's type change to giant (augmented humanoid or monstrous humanoid). Do not recalculate base attack bonus, saves, hit points or skill points. Size is unchanged.
Feat: A colossus-born gain endurance, power attack and strong grip as a bonus feats even if he does not meet the prerequisites. The colossus-born also gain a single vile or deformity feat he meet the prerequisite for.
Special Qualities: A colossus-born receive the following special qualities:
Body of the Colossus (Ex): A colossus-born receive bonus hit point as a construct of his size (one size larger because of powerful build). Additionally a colossus-born is immune to non-lethal damage, stunning and staggering.
Corruption (Ex): Colossus-born creatures show outward sign of corruption, while it can be anything from horn to strange tattoo on their skin. Colossus-born count as evil whenever it would disadvantageous. They may however take vile feats and deformity feat even if they are not evil.
Oversized Grip (Ex): A colossus-born has big hands for extreme weapon holding. It may use two-handed weapons one-handed. Combined with Powerful Build this allows them to wield a Large Greatsword in one hand, or a Huge Greatsword in two hands at a -2 penalty.
Powerful Build (Ex): The physical stature of colossus-born lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a colossus-born is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the colossus-born is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. An colossus-born is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A colossus-born can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.
