The third colossi and the one seemingly to be one of the most human design. Though now, in the age of the Demon Lord, it feels sort of redundant.

Discovered ontop of a large man-made platform of earth and refined stone surrounded by a even huger body of water. The aftermath of this confrontation lead to the creation of this profile... as there's... more of them now.

Of the second largest bipedal colossi, Gaius's height is of 27 meters or 97ft. Each Gaius appears to have a massive stone structure shaped to be reminiscent of a sword on where the right hand of a humanoid would be. Two sets of horns are placed on the sides of their head and degrades the claim of a Galus being the most humanoid in design... but, ah, it doesn't matter. A Galus's feet and legs are covered entirely in stone and their feet specfically end in rounded stone balls. If you think it deters from their movement, think again.

While not as intelligent as some of the other colossi (IE: Quadratus and Malus) it appears that along with the new mamono ways and mannerisms. Older ones dictate that Galus's to be of a knightly sway, even if they have not a lot of great understanding of such concepts of honor and protecting the weak. They do their best to uphold such innate traditions with their inital limited intellect. Generally, not destroying the things around them because they look breakable comparetively is the first step to this 'upholding.'

The 'second' step is that they do not attack other beings unless harmed first. A warrior must defend themself, no? Generally, however, they see those smaller than themselves to be therefore weaker and worthy of being guarded. Upon encountering another living being they will attempt to actively stay close to it. Being wary of the damage they might cause with their size this closeness is more like you are being followed by a very tall shadow... a VERY tall shadow. It feels right to a Gaius to do this with what small knowing of the concepts they so apparently adore. Thankfully so, due to their immense stature, many fights that would be had are avoided... as how many would fight against something like a Gaius or the colossi? Not regular highwaymen I can tell you that much.

Unlike the other colossi, Gaius's are the only colossus to actively turn their form smaller with more of their will rather than being compelled with insticts to be close to a man. As such, learning langauge is considerably more easier to learn in the short term as they are actively willing to turn themselves smaller and therefore be able to see more intricate details... as well as going into places that would support a more normal humanoid. Such as a school or the like. Though in hindsight, a Gaius might feel this degrading and blush about it harshly when it ever happens to be brought up.

If forced into combat, a Gaius can easily use their sword-arm to smash down onto any fools that think it wise to fight the 27 meter tall woman of stone protecting a caravan. The force sent out with the weapon sending them flying and battered. Though for some reason both the weapon and the force produced by the 'sword' is considered to be demonic energy and therefore incapable of killing. While the weapon's nature isn't weird, the force however, is very much so confusing on how it works. Making it seem more like a enchantment produced by the sword rather than any actual natural laws in effect. Whatever the case in the end, it works.

Eventually, a Gaius will come across a man that they will fancy. When this happens, a urge to be more selfish... To partake in hidden delights will ignite from nowhere. Nowhere some of these mamonos say, but in truth, the kindling was always there, they just didn't notice it. However unqiue but persistant across all colossi is that this desire is foregin and never felt before. Unable to describe, nor define it. The Gaius will grow closer and closer to this man, and forget of her self-made duties and unspoken vows to protect the weak. All the while, her unknowable desire grows stronger and stronger and without a outlet of which to draw out from. Finally, the stone that covers her most deep parts and things that she didn't even know of as a knight and colossi come baring their defilement.

And the Gaius's in that moment of discovery... revel in the newly-found pleasure.

Gaius's as wives retain a almost stubborn attitude and attempt to do things by themselves, though this will only end in embarrassing moments that most would find cute with their blushing faces and stammering of broken excuses among much more broken plates and vases.

The three weapon-wielders; Valus, Gaius, and Argus have been speculated to be able to enchant their weapons with more magical properties. But due to the size of each weapon, the cost and time needed for such a feat would be innumerable. Infact, if anyone were able to do such a thing, they might as well be called a god.
