the Shadow Colossus is very strong, but maybe it shouldn't be capable of hovering over everything, might make it very hard to kill
(becuase hero's can only kill hero's, so when he's on the water...)

mmhhh, can the Avatar of the Well kill Colossi's?

It can.
All the colossi should be able to waterwalk like the flesh btw. Cause I doubt they'd drown.

when it's deep enoung...
then everything can drown

Well it's a river. Doubt the flesh colossus weighs less than the others so that he can waterwalk xD

maybe he uses magic to let him waterwalk, maybe his Volume might be high, but his Mass very small (big shape, low weight, like dust)

but, then they should also go IN the water, and not stay above it

Yep... I'd call that swimming though xD.

No, when you swim you don't touch the bottom of the river, you float just under the surface,
when you walk into the water and touch the bottom, you're not swimming but under-waterwalking

=P

Lolz how do you know if they're big enough to be able to walk with their heads above the water? xD

you said it wasn't that deep =)

You said it was. xD

This is not sthg we should be talking about in the changelog...

you're right, second page XD

Well, if he had a proper anim, flesh colo would be swimming :p
Other colos cant do it cuz their rocks have trouble moving through water (too big effort). They already have enough trouble moving through air lol.
Flesh, on the other hand, has a skin covered with substances, that water "slides" on, sort of

EDIT: since it regards the movement of the Shadow colo to some extent, theres no problem with talking about it here.

Kay xD

*cough* err... I mean, I guess I was right then. xD
