In [[Classical Mythology]], the Titans (and their primordial parents before them) were ancient god-like beings that had ruled reality, until they were overthrown by the [[Our Gods Are Greater|Olympians]] in the [[Death of the Old Gods|Titanomachy]].<ref> The Titans were originally considered true gods, not merely "god-like beings." Later Classical writers started confusing them with Giants, but this was not the usual representation. Also, while the name Titan sometimes only refers to the first generation, though usually the non-nymph, non-Olympian children of Titans are also called Titans.</ref> Titans and primordials have since been featured in many works of fiction, and have several common traits among their varying depictions.
 
Titans and primordials have since been featured in many works of fiction, and have several common traits among their varying depictions. These include:
These include:
* Being more awesome than someone like [[Puny Earthling|you]]. and almost every other being as well.
* Being incredibly [[Our Giants Are Bigger|huge]] in the conventional sense as well.
* Having tremendous power, - which often rivals, [[The Old Gods|if not surpassing]], the [[Physical God|gods]] themselves.
* Being [[Time Abyss|extremely old]]. As in, they're the first things to ever exist, old. If this is the case, the Titans in question might be some kind of [[Primordial Chaos|primordial entities]], and may very well be [[Anthropomorphic Personifications]] or [[Eldritch Abomination|completely inhuman monsters]]. Due to their age, they often serve as [[Precursors]] to the gods.
* As a consequence of the above two traits, the titans often have a rivalry/animosity/connection with the [[Our Gods Are Greater|gods]] of the setting. [[Death of the Old Gods|This may have led to their doom]].
