[@Klomster] Exactly. The Colossus is a slow lumbering creature that probably couldn't keep up with a dragon. However, one thing to note is the sylvan are essentially emotionless. It's a minor nitpick, but I figured I should set the record straight. The Twelve are living statues made of ironwood and that's it. They don't feel anything. The Colossus, while basically being a granite statue with a personality, can definitely feel fear.

EDIT: [@dragonmancer] I had a thought since it seems like Ancalagon is shaping up to be a major antagonist in all this. Would there still be demons or places of demonic corruption left on Gaea? The Cataclysm has been over for one hundred years, but a demonic threat might be a great way to unite all our characters against a common foe. Just an idea :)
