TITAN, CLASSICAL
Source: 1e Deities & Demigods.
Note: This version of the classical titans tries to nod to the real-world mythology of the titans, the Gygaxian version of them in DDG and to the 4e cosmology, resulting in- in some cases- an interesting new blend unlike any of the sources. Coeus is a great example of this- in DDG, he is described as the greater titan of fear, but as far as I know, Greek myth refers to him as the bearer of the north and not as especially connected to fear. I have tried to mix the lores together like a smoothie, hopefully making a tasty new confection.
The classical titans are distinct from the elemental titans related to giants, and claim that their imitators were crafted by the Primordials to attempt to mimic some of the “true” titans' puissance. Most of the classical titans are disdainful of their elemental counterparts as well as of the gods themselves.
The titans claim to be the antecedants of the deities, but few other accounts agree that this is the case. Their own tales declare that they were born of the primal chaos before even the Elemental Chaos and Astral Sea pulled apart and that the timeline of the universe has changed multiple times, with the titans as the sole witnesses aware of such cataclysmic events. According to the titans, the integrity of time itself was long ago destroyed by one of their number, who has been lost to the entropy between timelines.
A classical titan appears as a gigantic humanoid. Though some of the multiverse's greatest craftsmen are titans, most go naked and rely on their own physical puissance to defend themselves from harm.
Claimers of Myth? The titans claim many roles in myth- the origin of many life forms, the gift of fire and other technologies to sentient creatures, fathering dieties and so forth- but it is impossible to know the truth of the matter, given their claims of a timeline rewritten over and over again. (Indeed, they even claim that entire worlds exist in some timelines and not in others.) Various scholars support or oppose the titans' claims, but none can truly be certain as to their veracity.
Unique Individuals: Each classical titan is unique, and they are all related in a great family. If any creature were to slay a titan, it would earn the instant and undying enmity of the rest of them (save those who might be the enemies of the killed titan). Only the mightiest entities can face one titan in battle, much less a group of them. The unnamed, generic classical titan stat block represents the younger offspring of the more powerful titans.
