Hey U_K! I was wondering, what Divine Rank would a party have to be to take on a Roaring Titan from Deltarune, which is a creature crystalized from a raw fountain of utter darkness that is a innate manifestation of the fear of darkness and the unknown?
Even a newborn Roaring Titan is large enough for its head to literally be above the clouds, and it canonically can take hundreds of thousands of HP damage without even flinching. It also generates tens of thousands of Spawn, that can destroy armies on their own, and it can actively replicate/manipulate its attacks based on its opponents fears and weaknesses as well. I'd imagine that one of these would be made fully out of Obsidia/other darkness-themed materials appropriate to its level/rank. Also, is there anything like it planned in the Bestiaries?

Well it sounds about Divine Rank 8 ish, so Challenge Rating 44. Obsidia is probably the closest parallel. But there might be other materials that also fit.
Not sure about tens of thousands of spawn that each individually destroy armies (of ambiguous power). Maybe the spawn collectively destroys Armies...?
The individually the spawn would at best be CR 8, assuming it can generate them with little cost/effort.
There are some monsters planned of that size category. Off the top of my head I don't believe I have a close parallel planned. But the Golem scaling rules will make creating one easy.

Hey U_K! Divine Rank 8 seems about right for a single Titan. The Spawn are a bit weird, because in general Deltarune doesn't play nice with DnD style power scaling. The main party are for all intents and purposes normal mortals, but in the RPG segments of the game taking place in the Dark Worlds, it is implied that the characters are supernaturally imbued with extra power somehow/someway. Even with this, however, the Titan Spawn are mostly dangerous enough that you have to run away from them out of combat, and two minor Spawn are significant enough of a challenge to be a bossfight-tier challenge for a level 17-20 party of three characters. Even then, the Deltarune heroes are only able to bring down a Dark Titan by catching it only a few seconds after it was born, and literally jumping into it, to effectively burn its soul out from the inside. I would argue that a party of on-level Immortals to a Titan would be able to bring it down through raw damage, though, since it is shown to be able to be harmed by epic-level weapons, though it can regenerate massively by absorbing its Spawn.

How big are the Spawn?
Two CR 8 monsters are effectively equal to an Epic level character...although the character will usually win if it goes nova.
Two CR 16 monsters would equal a Level 20 character going nova. Roughly speaking.
