is this the new card type they teased, or is it a new keyword, and new card type is yet to be revealed?
It’s a keyword on certain minions.
Colossal minions will summon secondary minions with them (even if not played from their hand) that interact with the Colossal minion themselves.
Have you seen the video yet?

New keyword, the number indicates however many additional mini-minions it spawns when it is played or summoned.

These are not new card types they were talking about. It’s a new keyword, but not card type. They specifically said card type, so I hope they are not considering these as new card types.
Card Types are:
Minions
Spells
Hero Cards
Weapons
We don’t even know if we will have new card types this expansion.

Waiting on the Video where a Shaman evolves devolves or revolve into Unlicensed Apothecary and Colossal Minion and a player explodes.

I think it’s not possible.
Imagine colossal minions more like a minion with more than one card slot.
In that sense if something evolves into a colossal it will turn into the main card without summon the other parts.
Weren’t there cases in the past where Evolve could trigger that Demon that damaged you whenever you summoned a minion, so hitting it with a full-board Evolve would usually kill you?
I think Evolve effects may count as summoning, which should bring in the Colossal effect.

When I initially saw the Colossal keyword, I failed to read that the extra parts would summon regardless of whether it was played from hand or not, and realized two things. First, the Colossal cards are probably going to be pretty powerful. Second, maybe this is confirmation we’re getting Dirty Rat in the Core Set…and people should be careful what they wish for.

maybe “naga” was the new card “type”?
I ain’t talk-OH MY GOD!!!
Colossals: turning Dirty Rats into squealers since 2022.

Are the other parts cards you have to put in your deck? They can’t be, right? Cause one of them has Collosal 4.
No other cards required, the Colossal minion just poops them out on its own.

No other cards needed. Much like dormant, its state is forced. So if you have an 8 cost minion and it gets devolved 1 into this, it will spit out 4 tentacles.

It’s too bad Devolving Missiles is rotating, because it would be hilarious to see multiple Colossals pop out at once (assuming they don’t all cost 7)
Or maybe they do all cost 7 because even Blizzard is tired of the Cenarion Ward effect.

aaaand, they’ve just released an 8 mana colossal minion 
luckily the ward will be rotating out, so only wild get´s plagued and there i imagine it´s a much lesser issue as the 8mana pool should be more diverse and less ridiculously filled to the brim with power drops, really don´t know why they didn´t name it year of the 8drops.
I think this was a miscommunication and they were talking about the new Naga tribe. If there were a new type of card they would have revealed it already.

or they did refer to colossi as it´s an entirely new mechanic, time will tell.
