Kuromori is the eighth colossus. Resembling a gigantic lizard, this wall-climbing colossus can be found in a tall, narrow arena located in quadrant G6 on the map.

[edit] Path to the Colossus
Reaching G6 should be pretty self-explanatory by now. When you get there, head left and look for a cave entrance. Once you're on the the other side, it's a good idea to get off of Agro and navigate the narrow, winding path yourself. Keep heading west and you should see a temple surrounded by a ring of water. Swim directly to the temple and enter. Jump on a ridged pillar and make your way to the other side of the small room. Keep going until you get to the small hallway. This hallway leads to the great arena, where you will find Kuromori at the bottom, unaware of your presence...
[edit] Weakspots

[edit] Quick walkthrough
Whistle to get its attention, then quickly run to the opposite side of he arena - he's climbing up. Ready your bow on the way, and make sure you don't get his attention again (or let him see you). If all goes well, you'll have a great shot at him. You're aiming for any two of his legs. A direct hit on one will cause the colossus to stay in one place and flail around slightly, giving you a lot of time to shoot the other. Once that's done, the colossus will fall (belly up) on the ground below.
Now's you chance. Get down there as fast as you can, jumping slightly from a giant hole in the structure and holding R1 to briefly hold onto ledges on the way down (to prevent fall damage). On the other hand, if you've been eating a lot of fruit, jump right for him!
It's important to note that the higher up Kuromori was when he fell to the bottom, the longer he will remain stunned. Thus, if you don't have enough time to take out his two belly weakpoints, head all the way up to the top, let him follow you, and shoot two of his legs when he's all the way up there.
Time Attack times (Normal, Hard): 8:00, 7:30
[edit] Tricks
Other than the tips noted above in the Walkthrough, there are some other interesting tricks to do with this colossus. Many people have found a way to jump onto Kuromori's belly while he's climbing up. This is not recommended, however, as it is not only hard to perform but very glitchy, causing some extremely weird things to happen if Wander holds on too long (such as being launched miles into the air [1], or being turned invisible with messed-up clipping [2]).
