In Shadow of the Colossus, fur is located on every colossus in one place or another. Most colossi feature dark blue or brown colored fur, yet some are differently colored. For example, the 12th colossus has green fur on its body (not to be confused with the moss growing on its shell) and the 16th colossus has white/light gray colored fur.
Fur is the main climbable material in the game and every magic sigil (major and minor) is located on a furry part of the colossus' body. Therefore, fur is vital to defeating every colossus.
Trivia[]
- Two colossi (the 11th and 14th) have fur hidden underneath their armor which needs to be shattered first. There are also colossi that have fur on their body while their "real world" counterpart does not, e.g. there is no bird of prey known to man with fur instead of feathers, yet the 5th colossus does have fur.
- The E3 Demo version of the 12th colossus has no fur on its belly nor anywhere on its body, besides the moss on its shell, head and legs. Its belly only had a weakpoint that needed to be shot with an arrow.
