One of the first of the Colossi to be encountered and presumably, one of the weakest. Do not be fooled by such a statement as that.

In a forgotten vale, the first Valus was discovered. By who? That information currently can't be disclosed. Though the meeting of such two beings however, eventually lead to the species being propagated. Not by much as the power and size of a Valus lead to extremely low fertility rates even when compared to mamonos like the Baphomet and Dragons.

All Valus's stand at a impressive 70ft or 21 meters in their regular forms, and while they have the ability to shrink down their forms, in the wild they rarely feel the need or want to do so. Parts of their bodies appear to be made from stone. The most notable of which is their arms and the large maces that appear to be apart of them or at the very least, never seen without such devices of war. Along with that weapon of unnatural make, Valus's appear to be covered in some parts of their body, in deliberate architecture formed to be like armor. On the backs of each Valus are three seperate stone-shaped howdahs that perhaps might have held archers or the like in some battle. But as one can see, whatever civilization made the Colossi are long gone and perhaps that is for the better? As a note, when a Valus turns more human-sized these howdahs shrink down on themselves and disappear. Taking features from bulls and cows, Valus's both have short stubby horns and legs that end in stone and metal-covered hooves.

Appearing almost emotionally distant is not a uncommon trait for most of the colossi due to their unique nature of usually being found far, far, off from any kind of civilization or rather more specfically, from any sentient contact. Valus's on the other hand, are almost always seen with a flock of birds or other small flying animals congerating around them in one instance or another. Whenever aggrivated these birds disperse until otherwise. This would indicate that a Valus holds some form of control over animals or another as there are much larger colossi that exist and any animal instead would feel repulsed by them and stay away. However, this 'control' only seems very basic as no amount of innate learning can cause them to further increase the use of this ability unless they gain further power from a outside source. A thing colossi very rarely do, not for pride or ego, just that they feel little motivation to gain any further strength.

Upon encountering a humanoid for the first time, usually, a Valus would attempt to observe them. From a distance more or less and otherwise not interact any further than they have too. Those that run away from the stone minotaur in turn makes the colossi feel like she has done something wrong but not knowing the exact reason, carries on. Those that stay find the colossi to be a aimable listener... mostly because at first they don't know any langauges, however, they are quick to learn such things due to the increased intelligence and mamono insticts guiding them along. Almost desperate in this attempt to understand this strange creature in-front of them they 'quietly' kneel down and listen. Scared to watch them run-off from her movements, they appear shy when in actuality they are simply subduing themselves and any potential emotions that would cause them to scare off this curious humanoid.

Most of the time, this sprouts in friendship with the aforementioned mamono or female human. Upon encountering a human male or any other likeness's like a dwarf or elf male. If encountered in a friendly position, it will be acted as though the previously stated facts will be true and a friendship will sprout. However, mamono insticts will eventually awaken and the colossi will be confused at the sudden reddening of her cheeks and the other warmths about their body. Not only that, but a desire to shrink their form to become closer to this man will arise within them, a want they've never felt before, but otherwise a curious thing to experience and very few deny this.

They will think that the man is responsible for this heat gnawing inside of them and question to the man as to why they would do such a thing. They, most of the time aren't mad at him for causing such a feeling. Upon noting confusion and seeing him being truthful about not knowing anything in the regard, a Valus will return this emotion and eventually this newly-born love/lust will boil over and attack him. With the strange grey-colored fur around their privates receding away, at that moment, they will know what to do. Though, how, on the other hand is a unknown and requires the man to take over for her if able. Attempting to escape at this point is very much furitless as the Valus's great strength is apparent even in her smaller form.

A more perverted or perceptive sort might note what is actually happening to her first and either be cool with it or use the colossi's lack of knowledge to indulge in debase desires, very few Valus's or other colossi in this manner reject such advances. But otherwise, in the end, have to deal with the Valus's lust sometime or another. Though those that tell off the colossi to wait for another time works most of the time, as while the curious emotion known as love will build, colossi have no need for a man's spirit energy and hunger doesn't drive them to rape or the like. Eventually though they will do an attempt, few succeed on this however.

Initally serving as poor 'housewives' and more of a glorified bodyguard. A Valus's semi-curious nature make them easy to teach about the going-on's of civilization and other such things. They more intelligent than some migh think, do not baby them or it might end poorly.

Stated as fact, all colossi have eyes of vibrant turquoise, and change to orange when experiencing emotions of stress or anger. With lust being a recent addition for the eyes to change color... Any who see's a colossus with a different eye color than those two are clearly mad and must not be aware of those who can change shape.

(This will go in exactly the order you think it will.)
