The Titans are beings in the Scion universe that created the world. The Greater Titans are vast world-sized concepts and the Titans are avatars of that concept based on its cultural context.

They oppose their children, the Gods of the various pantheons. There was a war between them called the Titanomachy - or "Titan War". The Gods were victorious and banished the Titans to Tartarus. Recently, however, the Titans have escaped and wish to take revenge on the God's creation, Mankind. The Gods are too weak to take the Titans and their children the Titanspawn on directly. That is why the Gods bred the Scions to help them.

  • Hundun, the Greater Titan of Chaos. There are no other Titans, as its concept is without form or feature. It instead corrupts gods to do its unfathomable bidding.
    • Chi You, the Li Liao King of Heaven and God of War, opposes the Celestial Bureaucracy. He led his people (the minority Li Liao) in battle against the Yellow Emperor and his people (the majority Han) and lost.

He has 9 fierce brothers and 81 nephews (ancestor gods of the 9 tribes and 81 clans of the Li Liao people).
    • Gonggong, a former water god turned into a demon of floods, is foolish, unstable, and unpredictable. When he was still a water god he fought a duel with Zhu Rong (Chinese god of Fire), with the winner becoming Regent of Heaven. The fighting was so fierce that both fell from the heavens to the earth below. Gonggong lost and in a fit of despair he head-butted the Buzhou Mountains, one of the Pillars of Heaven. This ripped a hole in the sky (turning parts of the surface to desert), caused the world to tilt on its axis (causing the great rivers to overflow and run eastwards), and disrupted the orbits of the celestial bodies (causing them to rotate to the northwest). He is in the form of a giant black sea-serpent or dragon with a long horn coming from his forehead.
