| “ | The mass extinction we feared has already begun, and we are the cause. We are the infection. But like all living organisms, the Earth has unleashed a fever to fight this infection. Its original and rightful rulers, the Titans. They are part of the Earth's natural defense system. A way to protect the planet, to maintain its balance. | „ |
| ~ Emma Russell explaining about the Titans. |
The Titans are the titular main protagonists and antagonists of the MonsterVerse franchise.
They are an extremely powerful species of ancient, intelligent and sentient beings that originated from the Hollow Earth. Titans, as studied by Monarch, come in two categories; Protectors who are famously known for fighting against malevolent threats in order to protect and save the Earth, and Destroyers, who seek to destroy or conquer the planet and claim it as their own. There are even ancient human civilizations that coexisted with them thousands of years ago.
Biography[]
All Titans (except Ghidorah) were originated from the Hollow Earth, a whole ecosystem that exists inside the planet itself. At some point long ago, all Titans lived in the Earth's surface that was full of radiation in the time, an ancient humans civilization known as Iwi lived there and coexisted with the Titans, seeing them as deities to be worshipped, among them the Titanus Gojiras (lizard-like Titans) and the Titanus Kongs (ape-like Titans). The Iwi saw Titans as the guardians of nature, but overtime, the great apes specifically became the protectors of humanity. Additionally a Titanus Mosura that possesses a strong symbiotic relationship with another Titanus Gojira, Mothra, became known as the protector of the Iwi.
At some point, Godzilla, along with Mothra, fought off a Titan not like any other, a three-headed draconic Titan that came from space, Ghidorah. They came to Earth to take over the planet and take the title of Alpha, though Godzilla defended his title along with Mothra and battled Ghidorah many times in the past before a day that they fought in Antarctica. Godzilla prevailed by defeating Ghidorah and imprisoned them in ice presumably with the help of the ancient Titan Shimo.
Later on, a red-furred great ape Titan known as Skar King started a war between his kind and the Titanus Gojiras with an attempt to take over the world's surface with the help of Shimo, who was controlled by him through a crystal at the tip of the tirant's whipslash. The war finally ended with one of the Gojiras known as Godzilla, who trapped the tirant and his followers deep underground. Both sides had many deaths, which heavily weakened the two species.
A long time later, after the war, the Titanus Kongs and Gojiras became weakened and lowered in numbers. As time goes on, the Kongs moved to a tropical skull-shaped island that had a connection to the Hollow Earth, where they started living in from that moment on. Meanwhile, the Gojiras started becoming hunters to their previous prey, the Titanus Jinshin Mushis. After the females go through a special metamorphosis, they evolve into MUTO Primes, Titans powerful enough to not only hunt down the Gojiras, but to also use them as nests to spread over even more, which brought them to almost extinction.
On the Titanus Kong's new island, they started creating their own civilization amongst the other monstrous creatures on it while being worshipped by the human civilization known as the Iwi, who were originally from Hollow Earth, but had some move up to the surface. At some point later on, new ever-hungry creatures known as Cranium Reptant or Skullcrawlers moved to Skull Island and started disbalancing the island's ecosystem due to their rapid metabolism and started overwhelming the Kongs due to their absurd numbers, bringing them to almost extinction.

Notable Titans[]
Godzilla (Surface's alpha)[]
- Name: Godzilla
- Species: Titanus Gojira
- Class: Protector
- Gender: Male
- Powers: Atomic Breath
- Status: Alive
- Description: The last surviving Titanus Gojira still alive and the current Alpha Titan on Earth. He is one of the oldest Titans known to this day and, alongside Kong, one of the most powerful Titans on Earth. He served as the protector of the planet's ecosystem and makes sure it is under control by forcing other Titans to submit to him, like Amhuluk and Tiamat and killing the destructive Titans that refuse to, like his enemies Shinomuras and Jinshin Mushis or even invasive species like Ghidorah. Godzilla and Mothra possess a strong symbiotic relationship, willing to fight together throughout the eras to protect the Earth at all costs. It's shown that their relation is so strong, that if Mothra passes down her energy to him, it enables Godzilla to transform into Burning Godzilla. Needing power to face Skar King and Shimo, Godzilla killed Tiamat and took over her lair, which was filled with a immense ammount of radiation, allowing him to evolve into a magenta-colored form due to absorbing some Tiamat's DNA in the process.
Kong (Hollow Earth's alpha)[]
- Name: Kong
- Species: Titanus Kong
- Class: Protector
- Gender: Male
- Weapons: B.E.A.S.T. Glove & Battle Axe

- Description: The last surviving member of the Titanus Kongs who are native to Skull Island, one of the few Alpha Titans and, alongside Godzilla, one of the most powerful Titans on Earth. He is one of the only survivor of his species Titanus Kong that have been almost wiped out completely by the war between the Titanus Gojiras and the Kongs and later on by the Skullcrawlers. He served as the protector and guardian of Skull Island, defending it from creatures who attempted to rule it like the Skullcrawlers and the Killer Chameleons or who attempt to take his title like Camazotz and the Kraken. After Skull Island was devastated by Camazotz, Kong started living in the Hollow Earth in 2024, where he would become the new protector of that place and would later encounter more of his species in 2027. After the death of Skar King, Kong became the king of his tribe, having Suko as his adoptive son and Shimo as his companion. During his past battles, Kong learned to use weapons and two special ones were acquired by him, including an ancient battle axe built using a bone and a Titanus Gojira dorsal plate and an extremely powerful metallic yellow gauntlet built by Monarch.

He was so feared that humanity wrote nothing of him, as if he were intended to be forgotten throughout Earth's history. He was trapped in Antarctic ice and, thousands of years later, was freed by a group of eco-terrorists under the mistaken belief that he would heal the Earth's ecosystem, as they were unaware of Ghidorah's extraterrestrial and malicious true nature. Ghidorah briefly succeeded in usurping Godzilla's kingship over the other Titans and began wreaking global destruction until his reign of terror entirely ended when he was eventually defeated and killed by Godzilla in combat with assistance from Mothra and Monarch, but leaving one of his heads behind which allows Apex Cybernetics to use it to create the artifical robotic Titan Mechagodzilla.

In 2027, Skar King found a way to travel to the surface and, with his army and Shimo, started going to war as Kong and Godzilla allied themselves once again thanks to the revived Mothra. Mothra took down most of Skar King's minions following the battle while Kong, Godzilla, Suko and Shimo defeated and killed Skar King after Suko freed Shimo from his control, ending his reign once and for all.

Mothra and Godzilla possess a strong symbiotic relationship, willing to fight together throughout the eras to protect the Earth at all costs. It's shown that their relation is so strong, that passing down her energy to Godzilla, enables him to transform into Burning Godzilla.

Trivia[]
- Titan blood contains uranium in their composition.
- Titan waste can be used as a very viable source of fuel.
- The Titanus Jinshin Mushis are more commonly named after the term, M.U.T.O. or Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Object, the term that's used to refer to all Titans.
- All the Titans communicate using a same bioacoustic frequency, allowing the ORCA, a sonar device created by Emma Russell and her husband Mark to communicate with whales, orcas and the Titans, enabling humans to replicate these bioacoustics.
- The use of "Titanus" to refer to the several species of Titan is a bit problematic as it's also the genus the Titan beetle (Titanus giganteus) belongs to, not to mention the several species belong to different taxonomic classes.
