Iron colossi are gigantic constructs once forged by picmics. These constructs are extremely rare in the world and are regarded as both sacred and living artifacts by the picmics who built them. Iron colossi are complex pieces of machinery infused with multiple magical enchantments. The original intent of the iron colossi was to create a living being in the form of the picmic gods. Thus, the rituals used to build these monstrosities is rife with religious connotation and ceremony.
Iron colossi are operated by a single picmic known as a dihunah. Dihunah picmic are specially selected picmic who are believed to be chosen by the iron colossi itself. This process is long and tedious, the tests of which are performed only on specific picmic who are believed by the priests to be called into duty. Once selected, the dihunah undergo rigorous training in order to come to understand the colossi with which it will eventually fuse. When training is complete, several picmic wizards perform spells in which the body, mind, and spirit of the dihunah are merged with the iron colossi.
Iron colossi rarely see combat. In the old days, these giants would be the single combatants to decide territory disputes between warring picmic. Now they are rarely seen in the open. Many have gone to sleep and live in solitude. While still venerated by the picmic, the details of constructing these metal giants has been lost to time.
