Godbound/Scion: Titanspawns

The Titanspawns are monsters and enemies of the Gods. In practice however, the lower ranks of Titanspawns are enemies of the God's children, meaning they are the primary major threat that a Scion will fight. They are creatures like the Hydra, the Kraken or the rank and file Giants of Norse mythology among other things. Some are unique, one off monstrosities while others are whole races of Titan worshipers and servants. Titanspawns are dark creatures, filled with evil intent and devotion or dark virtues as the Scion rulebook calls them. Ambition, Malice, Rapacity and Zealotry are what drive and define the Titanspawns.  Some are nothing but animals and brutes while others are exceedingly intelligent.

Chimeras & Nemean

Named after the Greek monster, the term Chimera is a catch-all term for Titanspawns which are an amalgamation of two or more things. The most obvious and common forms of these are either a mixture of different animals or animals+human body parts but in modern times it also include machinery. Nemean, on the other hand, named after the Nemean Lion are any form of mundane animal which has been infused with the power of the Titans making it grow in size and aggression. Mechanically these creatures are the easiest to stats as they are well-represented with the various stats for particularly large animals, such as the Big Hunter or Predator King. Larger Nemean would be similar but with more HD while Chimera are likely to posses one or two gifts befitting their bizarre nature or, in some cases, completely at odd with it!

Giants & Thralls

The being most often associated (and conflated) with the Titans are the Giants, or Gigantes in Greek. They are most recorded as Titanspawns in Greek and Norse myths but in truth they are quite universal, unfortunately. A giant physically resemble a large humanoid, most between eight and fifteen feet. Some look like perfectly formed human, albeit very large and muscular. Most....don't. Giants tend to be ugly looking brutes which would remind people of cavemen, what with their beetle brow, hunched shoulders or even more deformities. Most of them are just big, dumb, ugly and smelly brutes. Their ranks also include Frost Giant, Fire Giants, Cyclops, Oni, Trolls and more.

A Thrall is the byproduct of a mortal being fed a Giant's blood, or Eitr. The transformation make them into battle-crazed, hulking brutes with little regard for fear or wounds. These angry bastards are the primary minions of Giants and are used muscles to reinforce their ranks.

Giants have HD, high attack and damage but are somewhat slow and easy to hit (being quite large). Generally the higher the HD the larger the Giant's stature and the more powerful it is in terms of having Gifts. More powerful Giants may require magical weapons or Gifts in order to harm.

The Gifts of most Giants are straightforward ports from the Words of Might and Endurance, with a few from Earth perhaps for Giant spawned from the Greek Titan Avatars. Fire Giants obviously are immune to fire and Frost giants are immune to cold. Trolls are a bit trickier and have various odd powers, including possibly those of Sorcery while Cyclops can have gifts of Artifice.
