Kolodion is a shapeshifting wizard and the master of the Mage Arena. He can be found by pulling the lever to the north-west of the Mage Arena (behind 2 webs).

For completing the elite Wilderness Tasks, he awards the player Wilderness sword 4 and two antique lamps.

When a player fights him, during the Mage Arena miniquest, he first starts out as a man, then an ogre, a troll, a dark beast, and finally a black demon, which is the only form to have a combat level at level 84. Each form is stronger than the previous. To reduce damage, it is recommended to have level 37 Prayer to use Protect from Magic. Players should bring the required runes and the best usable staff for their highest-level and most powerful spell, as well as some food (such as at least 15 or 20 cooked sharks). Food is not always needed, as there are multiple safespots to attack him from, and he has very poor accuracy. He attacks players with the three god spells.

After Kolodion is defeated, players may enter the sparkling pool, where players can then worship one of the three god statues, dedicated to Guthix, Saradomin, and Zamorak. They will then receive a god cape, based on their choice. They can then claim that god's staff by speaking to the Chamber guardian for free, and additional staves (of any god) for 80,000 coins each.

Kolodion features in Succession, where Bilrach approaches him to learn his secrets of absorbing magic. Apparently Kolodion has for a long time siphoned the magic spells used against him by challengers in order to empower himself - just pretending to be defeated, when in truth he hasn't been harmed at all. Kolodion initially refused the Mahjarrat, but offered him the knowledge if Bilrach would give him the Kingdom of Asgarnia, Bilrach rejected his proposal and instead forced Kolodion into subjugation, and Kolodion eventually giving in. Bilrach would have Kolodion taken away by his soldiers to extract the secret, Bilrach then had the modified ritual marker moved to the cave of the God statues, while he prepared his ritual on the Mage Arena above. Bilrach's ritual ended up going horribly wrong, and Kolodion would eventually be released and returned to the Mage Arena lobby.

Trivia

Kolodion originally had the forms of a human, a ogre, a giant spider, a huge ghost, and finally a black demon, although blacker than it is currently. On 14 May 2010, his forms were updated to their current appearance, which included making his black demon form bluer and more unique than its previous appearance.
During Succession when interrogated by Bilrach, Kolodion reveals that he has a secret cheesecake recipe - contradicting the Head Chef in Chef's Assistant.
