Legion Mind

The colossus rolls initiative once for each opponent it faces. It gains a full set of actions on each of its turns.

Indomitable

The colossus ignores all damage. If an effect can end with a save, the colossus does not suffer from it. The colossus is immune to all forced movement. If it suffers from an effect that ends at the end of a creatures turn, the effect ends at the end of the colossus's next turn.

Spell Eater

If the colossus ends its turn in or adjacent to a zone or conjuration, the zone or conjuration is destroyed.

Description: Somewhere within the Chaos Scar stands a shrine to the demon lord Baphomet. The minotaurs that built the shrine are long gone, but their shrine and its treasures remain. The minotaurs offered to Baphomet gold and magic items taken from their victims. A massive treasure chest filled with gold and gems stands behind the altar to Baphomet, tempting adventurers from across the region.

Unfortunately, the treasure is not without its guardian. A massive, hulking construct stands watch over this place. Crafted from impenetrable armor of bronze, the beast is known as the Colossus of Laarn, in honor of the warlock that built it. The colossus is a metal vessel containing the souls of 100 of Baphomet's most devout berserker monks. So long as the armor remains unbreached, the colossus cannot die. The many bones of its past opponents attest to the near suicidal prospects of facing the thing.
