Coloth was a young Ulk-Ra.

Biography

Original life

Coloth grew up on a planet home to his people, the Ulk-Ra. He had a brother named Otchon, who once let Coloth taste reed wine.

Tasked by the chief male of his clan, a young Coloth underwent a rite to become considered a warrior: he went out into the wild with the goal of killing a beast and bringing back its pelt. However, Coloth was captured by Ossu-male, an Ulk-Ra augmented by the War Lords for the War Games and returned to Coloth's homeworld by the Time Lord High Council. Coloth was kept trapped in woven vegetation for a period until — on orders from the War Lord programming — Ossu-male brutally killed Coloth by slicing him open with his paws. (PROSE: War Crimes)

Plume Coteries

Coloth represented the Plume Coteries on Terra Primagenia at the unveiling of Cernunnos. Fleeing from a painted warrior during a praxis trip, Avus shoved past Coloth and was hurt by his cactus skin. (PROSE: Cobweb and Ivory)

As a cactus man instead of a cactus boy, Coloth once walked through a section of the Labyrinth resembling a regular alley. Nezf, Wade, Tabrenilsodvoravitas, and a Shift passed Coloth on their way to steal the Greater Key from the Fortress. (PROSE: A Farewell to Arms)

Appearance

Coloth sometimes gravitated to being a cactus-skinned humanoid. (PROSE: Cobweb and Ivory, A Farewell to Arms)
