* The "aunts" and "uncles" (and presumably, parents) of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Luna and Celestia]] in the fanfic [http://www.fimfiction.net/story/877/Under-The-Northern-Lights Under The Northern Lights]. They are vast elemental beings which created the world and its intelligent species (learning the latter from the much younger Luna and Celestia {{spoiler|when their toys turned into the first ponies because the sisters loved them so much - so yeah, ponies originated as toys of two little girls}}). The one we have seen in the fic is the water being called Karhu-Akka by reindeer. She combines traits of bear, cow, squid and whale and now sleeps in the shape of a huge glacier. If she awakes, horrible things will happen. {{spoiler|Her rolling over in her sleep when Discord got free is one of the causes for the crisis in the fic, one which might kill all life in a country.}} Luna, however, remembers her as a kind aunt who played with her and Celestia by the sea and gave them wonderful toys. Their greatuncles and greataunts, however, are pure [[Eldritch Abomination]], seen in a vision as "lights... sounds... patterns of magic in a black sphere that itched the brain and made the soul cry". Discord is one of them.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* The Titan unit from ''[[Age of Mythology (Video Game)|Age of Mythology]]: The Titans''. In game, Titans serves as the Pantheon of the Atlantinean civilization, with [[Big Bad|Kronos]], [[Light Is Not Good|Uranus]] and [[Token Good Teammate|Gaia]] as main gods, with others serving as minor ones. Barring Oceanus (who is blue-skinned, but otherwise human-looking) and Kronos (who is a giant, rock demon), all of them look like Olympians. Furthermore, it's possible for a civilization to summon a gargantuan, city-destroying Titan to fight for them: Greeks have [[Hell Hound|Cerberus]], Egyptians have [[Big Badass Bird of Prey|Horus]], Norse have [[Our Trolls Are Different|Yimir]] and Atlantineans have [[Magma Man|Perses]]. Yes, they took a little artistic license here and there....
* Titans are powerful units, lightning-wielding-giants, on the Wizard/Academy side in the ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]]'' games.
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'': Titan is an Earth-elemental [[Summon Magic|summon]] who originally caused a great earthquake to do damage to enemies, but in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', for example, he picks up the ground the enemies are standing on, flips it over, and smashes it down. This guy dwarfs half of said game's bosses. The other half aren't dwarfed ''per se'', but they're still smaller.
Line 55:
* 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 CraftWarcraft]]'' '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]].
** They actually resemble sufficiently advanced aliens more then any kind of God or Titan. Therefore, they'll be more at home in a Sci-Fi Space Opera then in High Fantasy. [[Wild Mass Guessing|Consider]] that ''Warcraft'' and ''[[Starcraft]]'' share the same core writer...

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Hercules (Disney film)|Hercules]]'', the Titans are [[Chaotic Evil]] [[Elemental Embodiment|elemental beings]] imprisoned by [[Top God|Zeus]]. Hades' [[Evil Plan]] is to free them and use them to storm Mount Olympus and take over.
** The animated series has appearances by Prometheus and Atlas, who are more human-looking and considerably more benign, though Atlas is still a self-centered jerk.
* The [[Animated Adaptation]] of ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]'', ''Hercules and Xena: The Battle for Mount Olympus'': [[Ear Worm|"Boom shakalakalaka boom shakalakalaka."]]
