“ | Had it not been for seismic serendipity unearthing it from its hiding place, the existence of the Colossingum might have remained a secret forever. Estimated to date back to the waning years of the Dawn of Fire, the provenance of its magnificent architecture is regarded to be the first-recorded instance of a Colossal spirit imbuing its life-force into an island. Evidence suggests that this was the site of rigorous musical training and friendly choral competition. Today, monsters are establishing a restored presence on the Colossingum, to resume their musical empowerment and to discover the secrets held within its ancient brickwork. | ” |

About[]
The Colossingum is a unique Island where Monsters can be trained and compete in musical battles to win prizes known as "Monsterrific rewards" (a portmanteau on "Monster" and "Terrific rewards"). It was added in version 3.0.0. To utilize the Colossingum, teleport a selection of Level 5+ Monsters from your other Islands, send them to the Conservatory for training, and sign them up for challenging Colossingum Quests to win great prizes. Versus mode was released on December 4th, 2020.
Song[]
Unlike any other Island, the Monsters do not sing whatsoever; they are constantly in their idle animations. Instead, the Colossingum is run by the Jukebox, which plays the soundtrack “The Monster World” by default, but can be changed to a different soundtrack once higher levels are reached.
Indigenous Monsters[]
Only Common Natural Monsters (except for Mimic), the Single and Double-Element Ethereals, and the Core Seasonals can teleport to and battle in The Colossingum. Below is a chart of the Monsters available on the island, alongside useful data such as Elements, power, and stamina. Note that strengths and weaknesses are listed according to a monster's elements. Example: Dandidoo has the Air Element, and Air is strong against Plant, so the Plant Element will be listed on the same position as Dandidoo's Air Element. The same logic applies to other elements and monsters.

Levels[]
The Colossingum has its own levels, which requires its own Battle Experience ().

Structures[]
- Main article: Structures
Mess Hall[]
The Mess Hall works much like a Hotel. It also works like a Castle in that you can tap and mute or alter the background track using the Jukebox. There are currently twelve different background tracks to choose from that become unlocked as the Colossingum level increases. It can be upgraded for more beds to store monsters.
Mess Hall Cost: Free Time: N/A Battle XP: N/A Beds: 25 |
Messy Mess Hall Cost: 50,000 Time: 6 hours Battle XP: 250 Beds: 50 |
Extra Messy Mess Hall Cost: 100,000 Time: 12 hours Battle XP: 500 Beds: 75 |
Conservatory[]
The Conservatory allows you train your monsters to make them stronger. It can be upgraded for extra training slots.
Conservatory Cost: Free Time: N/A Battle XP: N/A Training slots: 1 |
Renowned Conservatory Cost: 100 Time: 8 hours Battle XP: 2,500 Training slots: 2 |
Prestigious Conservatory Cost: 200 Time: 1 day Battle XP: 5,000 Training slots: 3 |
Nursery[]
The Nursery allows you teleport monsters that reach level 5 to the Colossingum. They will transform into an egg upon being teleported. It can be upgraded for shorter incubation times. The Bonus Nursery is not available on the island due to the inability to buy Structures on the Colossingum.
Battle[]
- Main article: Battle
In the Colossingum, players can battle in Quests, and Versus, a mode with player versus player (PvP) battles.

Notes[]
- Unlike Shugabush Island and Gold Island, Monsters can be sent to the Colossingum from almost any Island in the game (excluding Tribal Island and Composer Island). This includes Seasonal Shanty and Ethereal Island.
- The Island has a Nursery required for the Teleporting mechanic, but does not have a Breeding Structure, as Monsters cannot breed on this Island.
- Initially, the Nursery could not be upgraded. This has since been changed.
- This makes it one of two Islands to have this, with the other being Amber Island.
- You cannot buy a Bonus Nursery whether you have made an in-app purchase or not, as you cannot access the Structures page in the Market while on the Island.
- The battle theme is actually the pre-1.1.7 loading screen and Market theme.
- The Naturals, the Core Seasonals, and the Single and Double-Element Ethereals are the only Monsters on this Island.
- The Colossingum has the greatest amount of Common Monster species in the game, having 50 unique species with no Rares or Epics.
- The song in the Colossingum varies and is chosen via the Jukebox in the Mess Hall. However, you can mute the song if you tap “mute” on your Mess Hall. This affects not only your Island, but your friend's Islands when you view them.
- As of version 3.0.1, it is possible to move the Structures on the Colossingum without having to tap and hold them.
- The Colossingum was the first Island since Fire Oasis where Tweedle is available.
- The StarShop used to be able to be accessed on the Colossingum through the Mailbox during sales and promotions, and when Decorations were bought, they stayed on the Island and gave you 15,000 BXP each. This was later removed, as you were able to level up faster than intended.
- If a Monster is weaker, its stamina will be higher, and vice versa.
- Initially, when you quit a battle during the second stage for the first time while your stamina was low, it was not possible to train your Monster to a higher level until you got a defeat. This has been fixed as of version 3.1.0.
- The Colossingum's hieroglyphics - Main Article: Monstroglyphics - have told some history behind it and possibly the reason for the end of the Dawn of Fire.
- The first one states that two Colossals (possibly it and Tribal Island) had a disagreement on how to disrupt the Monster's peace and stability, which may mean that the Colossals had staged an event at the end of the Fire age for an unknown reason that resulted in the age ending and them becoming Islands.
- The second and third ones give some history behind the Colossingum, saying that its Colossal felt individual training, conducted in a special environment and honing each Monster's skills, was the answer. It found an abandoned landmass and imbued its lifeforce to it to make the Colossingum. This was a timely decision though, as it wasn't long before the Dawn of Fire age ended.
- The third column also described the process of the Cataclysm, though this part of the Monstroglyphic had been lost to time and still remains a mystery.
- The fourth and final one states that the other Colossal instead used its lifeforce to make an Island with an amber centerpiece and focusing on harmony. This is probably Tribal Island, as it focuses on harmony (Tribes) and has an amber centerpiece in the middle housing Kayna.
- When completing Power Plants, the monsters are able to train up to Level 15, and when completing Hard Rock Heavyweights, the Monsters are able to train up to Level 20.
- The Colossingum was the first Island without a unique song, up until the introduction of the Jukebox.
- Technically, it would be Composer Island, albeit with the inability to create custom notes for the Monsters.
- Alongside a prerecorded array of multi-pitched notes likewise to Composer Island, the Colossingum Monsters produce a jolt in their playing animation whenever they play a note.
- "The Lick", a stock musical phrase, is played when losing a battle.
- When achieving victory from a battle, the progression played is a six-note fanfare.
- If the player exceeds the maximum level of the Colossingum, an overjoyed Furcorn will appear.
- The Colossingum and Shugabush Island are the only islands where Single-Element Naturals cost Diamonds.
- The Colossingum, Ethereal Workshop, Tribal Island, Composer Island (not including MSM Composer), the Continent, and Starhenge are the only Islands without variants.
- The Colossingum, as revealed on the Torus map, is on The Seam.
- The Colossingum Battle arena is found inside the head of the Island itself.
- A musical track sheet-like aura can be seen rotating around the base of the Monster that is subject to perform a move in a battle. This unique effect is also manifested on Tribal Island, around the base of the Monster that belongs to you in the Tribe.
- The two Islands are also the only Islands with separate levels to gain other than the player's main level.
- These effective details could potentially strengthen the ancient bond between Tribal Island and The Colossingum, knowing that they are the only two Islands with it, and also knowing that there is already a great historic tale between the two.
- As of September 4th 2024, Monster Handler Matt confirmed that The Colossingum journey has concluded, meaning The Colossingum will receive no more mainline Quests or new Monsters. However, the Island continues to receive new Costumes for Seasonal Events and other occasions.
