I'm not aware of any mechanical implications of being or interacting with a titan, except that you're probably gonna have a bad day if you mess with them. Otherwise brought about through divine will or substance.Įxamples for titans (or rather: all that are currently published) are the Empyrean, Kraken, Tarrasque (all MM), Astral Dreadnaught (MToF), Slarkrethel (Storm King's Thunder), Atropal (Tomb of Annihilation) and Juvenile Kraken (Ghosts Of Saltmarsh). They might beīirthed from the union of two deities, manufactured onĪ divine forge, born from the blood spilled by a god, or Titans are the divine creations of deities. Quasi-deities fall into three subcategories: Theory they could ascend to godhood if they amassed enough They are still immensely powerful beings, and in Quasi-deities have a divine origin, but they don't hear orĪnswer prayers, grant spells to clerics, or control aspects of The DMG states on page 11 (emphasis not mine): The DMG provides insight: they are divine creations. Is there any other official description of what this tag means? Have I missed something? Although I accept that there are no "rules" about titans, there must still be mention of it somewhere as to how a "titan" creature is different from a non-titan creature. But even if there are no "rules" about titans, the term must still mean something, like how the "demon" or "shapeshifter" tags still mean something in-universe, at least. I have not seen this tag defined in the Monster Manual, only a small section on "tags" ( link to basic rules, listed below all the creature types) that basically says that tags don't mean anything. I wondered also if it's to do with their size, since the Tarrasque is extra big, even for a Gargantuan-sized creature, but then the the Empyrean and a few others are only Huge, not Gargantuan, so that doesn't make sense either. I noticed the other day in my Monster Manual when looking at the Empyrean and wondered if it had anything to do with titans of Greek mythology (since that's what the Empyrean makes me think of) - but then the Tarrasque is also listed as a titan, so there goes that theory. I've noticed that a few creatures have the "titan" tag ( here's a D&D Beyond search) but I'm not sure what that tag means.
