Shangri-La Frontier Seven Colossi: Names and Fights So Far
The Shangri-La Frontier Seven Colossi are the seven strongest Unique Monsters in the game: one-off bosses that sit at the top of the food chain. Two seasons in, the anime has put four of them in Sunraku's way: Lycagon the Nightslayer, Wethermon the Tombguard, Ctarnidd of the Abyss and the dragon Ziegwurm. Here is what each one does, spoiler-marked where it matters.
What are the Seven Colossi?
Shanfro has ordinary monsters, area bosses, and then Unique Monsters: bosses that exist once, tied to a hidden questline called a Unique Scenario. The seven strongest of them form a class of their own. The Japanese term is 七つの最強種, literally "seven strongest species"; "Seven Colossi" is the English name that stuck, and it is the one Netmarble's game uses in its title.
For a crappy game hunter this is the good stuff: no guide, no known trigger, and a boss that exists only once. Sunraku's whole run through the game bends around these fights, and the top clans plan their year around them. If you want the hero's side of the story first, start with our Sunraku merch page and come back.
Which Colossi has the anime shown so far?
Four have a name and a face after Seasons 1 and 2. The other three are for later seasons, and we are not going to spoil them here.
Lycagon the Nightslayer
A giant black wolf that steps out of the dark with no warning. Nobody knows the conditions that make it appear. It likes strong opponents, and it brands the ones who impress it with a curse, a marking that shackles the player. Sunraku meets it in his first days in the game, loses, and keeps the marks. They are why low-level monsters run from him, and why he fights in shorts. The clan Wolfschwarz, led by Psyger-100, exists to hunt this wolf. The designs with the wolf are on the Lycagon merch page.
Wethermon the Tombguard
An unrivalled warrior who guards the grave of the one he loved, in a hidden garden of red spider lilies where the NPC Setsuna of Bygone Days waits. His attacks kill in one hit. Ten minutes in he summons Kirin, a robot horse that fires missiles and lasers; left alone it merges with him, so someone has to keep it busy. Arthur Pencilgon builds the plan, and Sunraku and OiKatzo are the other two thirds of it. Everything we stock with the horned helm is under Wethermon merch.
Ctarnidd of the Abyss
The octopus of the deep sea, and the Colossus of the Season 2 ocean arc. It drags players down into a sunken city where everything is inverted. Sunraku ends up down there with Emul, the child captain Stude and the merfolk Araba, and Psyger-0, Akitsu Akane and Ceecrue get pulled into the same questline because nobody remembered to disband the party. The anime's site prints the name only in Japanese; Ctarnidd is the usual English spelling.
Ziegwurm
The dragon. It has marked Akitsu Akane, the fox-masked ninja player, the way Lycagon marked Sunraku. The anime has shown little more than that, so we will leave it there.
Which Colossi have been beaten? (spoilers for Seasons 1 and 2)
Wethermon is the first to fall. The fight runs over several episodes in the second half of Season 1 and comes down to surviving a final technique that cannot be dodged. Right after it, Pencilgon proposes that the three of them form a clan, on the grounds that Unique Monsters make money.
Lycagon is a different story. In Season 2 Sunraku and Psyger-0 take the wolf on with Emul, Akitsu Akane and Ceecrue, and what they bring down is Lycagon's shadow, not the wolf. The hunt carries on as a new Unique Scenario. Ctarnidd's questline is still running when Season 2 ends and the story turns to the GGC.
Where do the Colossi show up on merch?
Boss art is some of the strongest design work around this series, and Wethermon leads it. What you will find in the shop:
- Wethermon: phone cases with the helm, the blade draw and the shore duel, plus cushion covers in black, white and red.
- The showdown key visual with the whole raid party, as posters, a tapestry and a t-shirt.
- Lycagon: scene acrylic stands of the moonlit duel and the night hunt, a poster and a phone case.
Ctarnidd and Ziegwurm have no design of their own in the shop today. Each product page names the exact design you get. We are a fan-made shop, not affiliated with the creators or publishers.
FAQ
Is it Wethermon or Wezaemon?
Both are the same boss. The anime's site writes Wethermon the Tombguard; Wezaemon is the reading of the Japanese name that many fans and subtitles use.
Will the Seven Colossi be in Season 3?
Season 3 starts on 10 January 2027 on MBS/TBS in Japan and moves the action to the fighting game Galaxia Heroes: Chaos and the GGC. The official site has not said which Colossi appear. Our Season 3 release date guide has the broadcast details.
When does the Seven Colossi game come out?
Netmarble has announced Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Colossi for PC, iOS and Android, with a 2026 launch in Japan. No European release date has been announced as of November 2026.
Why does Sunraku not wear armour?
Lycagon's curse. The marks cover his torso and legs, and gear will not stay on over them, so he fights with a bird mask, shorts and two blades.
