'''Colossus''', also known as '''Colossus Valley''', is the second [[realm]] of the [[Summer Forest]] [[Home Worlds|home world]] in ''[[Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!]]'' and its remake in the ''[[Spyro Reignited Trilogy|Reignited Trilogy]]''. It can be accessed after completing [[Glimmer]].


'''Colossus''' is a world filled with Monks who have been terrorized by a yeti. The world is filled with large statues that resemble the Monks. The Monks talk like characters out of a cheesy Karate movie and resemble the workers from [[Idol Springs]]. Each time you help one out he'll use his levitating powers to open a new path for you. They also have a passion for Hockey.
The [[Monk Colosi|Monks]] here are being terrorized by a [[Colossus Yeti|Yeti]], but they managed to trap it by sealing all the doors. Brother Harry asks Spyro to talk to the other monks so that they can open the doors and lead him to the Yeti.

The Yellow monk at the start of the scene waves his hand to two other monks who are carrying a [[Goats|goat]] and then it shows that they have captured a [[Yeti]] that has been rampaging in their town. It will then show them trying to push the Ram down for the Yeti to eat, but after the camera closeup and the sound of the beast eating you then notice that the Goat is still there, who does a "baa", then looks at the camera. Since the other monk is not visable, it is likely that he was eaten by the Yeti.

One of the monks, who is standing on top of the statue, raises his arms and begins to chant, and the statue floats a little. He stops chanting, and the statue slowly descends to the ground again. Apparently, this was a demonstration of how to control telekinetic power through chanting. The monk on the statue may be a teacher and the monk below him a pupil. The teacher then lets his pupil give it a try. The pupil begins chanting and suddenly stops when he sees the statue rumble for a moment. He resumes chanting but accidentally releases too much psychic energy on the statue, as it ascends too quickly and crushes his mentor against the ceiling. The student then sees his mistake and flees the room, possibly to avoid getting in trouble.  &nbsp
