The largest of the three minotaur 'sister' species. The sixth colossus so far, and the second one to be outright aggressive to her discoverers.

Lying dormant behind a massive closed door, beneath the earth in the ruins of some civilization. Barba was found and defeated soundly. This was for the better seemingly as you can quite clearly tell.

Standing at 24 meters or 80ft. Barba shares many of the characteristics of her shorter 'sisters.' However there are a few differences to be noted in that they have the longest pair of horns comparetively to Valus and Argus... but... well, Argus doesn't have horns soooo. As well, this strange sheep-like fur surrounds their head and neck, coming down almost to their upper stomach. This fur at a closer glance almost appears to be much more like hair when anazlyed closely, but definitely feels as soft as a weresheep's fur, just without the drowsyness. Patches of actual fur exist on their hands, and strangely enough that is about it on where this fur appears. Unlike her two other sister species, Barba don't use weapons or 'come' with them so to speak. More than able to smash down on any opposing force with hooves and fist.

Along with Quadratus, Argus, and Malus they compete to be the most naturally intelligent of the colossi and as such one of the easier to talk too... If they cared to listen to you in the first place. Finding great pleasure in seeing things destroyed. Specfically that of strucutres or natural objects and more specfically of how easily such a thing can be done with little to no effort. Due to their size this enjoyment is obtained without any sort of hardships. Plainly liking other beings that can do the same and grow to adimiration of a sort to be able to do what they do. Speeding on their learnings of different subjects if given a chance.

Barba's however, are not heartless and despite what one may tell you. If a destruction of a object or structure brings great harm to people or any other living thing, a Barba would not be able to bring herself to ruin people's lives or memories in such a way. As such it brings them naturally attrachted even more so to the forgotten places of the wilds or the cavernous depths of a dead city and go about partaking in lovely leasurely destruction. Settiling into these ruins they find a more permeant home and only come from their deep sleeps whenever they feel partiuclarly bored and a idea sparks the mind on what exactly to do. Usually for them its relocation, finding anicent knowledge or 'hey, look, I didn't bring down that fence over there. Let me do just that.' Something along those terms at the least. Finding these areas brings them no small amount of glee and are generally in a happy mood when found by others exploring.

A depressing and heartbreaking sight for enthusiastic archaeologists if they come upon the area and being told that A: No, the Barba wasn't apart of the town and B: Yes she destroyed it years ago, sorry.

Thankfully, Barba's have enough sense to not rend apart things that look like they hold knowledge or things that actually seals planes to another plane of existence with creatures that are only out to kill and are immune to demonic energy... Yeah... they're smart enough not to do something like that. Which is props for the more unlearned ones that don't also do something stupid like that. That is but one example of the many things they are not stupid enough to destroy. I don't think other such things need to be stated over and over again, right?

In a ironic turn of events a old Barba is a expert finding of things lost to the world and archaelogists begrudgingly sometimes make use of their almost supernatural sense to find these decripit structures or places. Usually in return the Barba gets to destroy it afterwards when sufficent information and data is collected. There are very few Barba's that don't accept a offer such as this and if they're somewhere I don't know where. In this series of events a Barba may actually just turn herself smaller to be a better guide if the archaelogists. Though only for short periods of time and just enough for them to understand where to go. Sometimes though, she will engage in pleasantries and show a disturbing amount of knowledge on how to destroy structures and the like. Showing crystal-clear clarity in their memories for when they look for such moments and can essentially go on and on about it. If a person shows a likeminded interest, the before statement seems to be become almost literal.

If the people that come in to her resting spot are simply adventurers she may entertain them to a fierce battle or simply talk and perhaps depart with them some treasure that may interest them. As most colossi see no need for material wealth there is very rarely any sort of fuss involved and a Barba doesn't care if they take all of it. In the end to them all it matters is a bit more free space.

If the adventurer is a lone one and just so happens to be male, a Barba is more or less guaranteed to know about their nature of a mamono and be curious of what the processes exactly entail. To their minds it seems interesting, though some suppose it is just their insticts whispering into their subconsious to do it. They will take it upon themselves to rape the man, either after beating them in combat or tricking them into thinking it is safe for them to be around. Turn themselves smaller and simply use their superior strength to hold them down and poke and prod at the things that newly grow to excite them much more than destruction. Using their 'fur' to smother and coddle the panicking exploerer, this seemingly, despite having no magical enchantments. Works wonders on calming them down despite well... being raped. Some think it is simply that soft one they would guess?

This however, is simply one of the many cases how a couple can form and it certainly isn't the majority. The one in which the two talk their knowledge of buildings and how to so accurately bring them down can make love born in like-minded indivduals quickly. That one is the majority case, but one of the more boring ones to describe sadly.

Comptent house-wives; their knowledge of the world certainly isn't lacking in that field either. Even more so if they would read about their insticts of a mamono and have one thing be lead to another. They compete with Quadratus with being the most easiest to work with in a more modern environment.

Incubi created from the demonic energy of colossi become immortal in age and are greatly more resilient to bodily harm of any kind. A type of endurance, that just doesn't come from mostly any other type of mamono. Some say that they're skin becomes paler as well and they're eyes take on a blue-green hue. But... when inspected, it has been proven false... weird, those that claim this sound so serious as well.
