** In ''[[Pathfinder]]'', titans were the first creations of the gods, and half of them rebelled against their creators in the equivalent of the Titanomachy. The giants are their degenerate descendants. The titans who fought against the gods were imprisoned in the Abyss, while those who remained loyal live in Elysium.

* In ''[[Scion]]'', Titans are [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] who are free of human shaping, hard to comprehend and [[Reality Warping|shape reality]] simply by existing. One of them is Hun Dun, who is [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Chaos itself]] and cannot be defined at all, even by itself.

* ''[[Exalted]]'' has the Primordials, eldritch beings of vast power who built Creation and then created the gods as their slave janitors. The gods got fed up with their cruddy jobs and had the Exalted overthrow the Primordials (while they stole their bosses' crack stash), but it turns out that [[Dividing By Zero|killing]] some of them [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|broke the universe.]]<br /><br />To elaborate, the death of several Primordials in the setting's equivalent of the Titanomachy is the reason [[The Underworld]] exists. One of the Primordials who surrendered, as a parting shot before her imprisonment, ''[[Ret Gone|erased ninety percent of Creation from existence down to a conceptual level.]]''<br /><br />The two remaining Primordials, who sided with the gods, are: Gaia (the Earth Mother, creator of the Five Elemental Dragons, who is in some way connected to Creation) and Autochthon (the inventor of Exaltation, the patron of technology, who later fled to Elsewhere and became a [[Genius Loci|planet]] made of [[Steampunk]]).

* In the ''[[Role Aids]]'' supplement ''Giants'', the Titans were the first giants. They had godlike abilities and powers, including the ability to cast any spell at will, and have artistic abilities that outmatch those of any other culture.

* ''[[Titan Quest]]'': there are the Telkines, eldritch-looking sorcerers with tentacles instead of legs that are said to be remnants of the Titans. In the last part of the game {{spoiler|you have to defeat Typhon, a huge four-armored behemoth with tons of attacks.}}

* The Titans in [[Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen]] are upgraded Giants, who are large, club-wielders, and are Wind/Lightning-aligned, and [[Palette Swap]](s) of the other Giant upgrade classes like Frost/Fire Giants and vice versa.

* Titans in ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' are, essentially, ginormous [[Mix and Match Critters|randomized]] [[Our Monsters Are Weird|creatures]] spewing things like fire or random disease carrying clouds which can literally be made of anything. They're usually [[That One Boss|a bitch to kill]], as they're immune to traps, temperature (including magma), pain, hunger, drowning, and a lot of other things. This varies significantly with ''what'' material, though: ones made of metals rival [[Implacable Man|Bronze Colossi]] for [[Nigh Invulnerability]], but you'll occasionally get one made of a liquid that breaks into pieces with a single strike. Forgotten Beasts are a similar class of creature except found underground instead of above-ground.

* ''[[Rygar]]'' has Titans as the main enemies. Some of them are living statues - some of them are apparently little worm-monsters.

* Titans of the ''[[War Craft]]'' 'verse are, essentially, a race of demigods (stated to be more powerful than some of the gods themselves). Their powers are, untypically for a [[High Fantasy]] setting, entirely based on incredibly advanced technology. They created Azeroth as we know it, amongst thousands of other worlds; however, most creatures used to be robots, and beings made of flesh and bone are a side effect of corruption by [[The Old Gods]].
