King Clawthorne

King Clawthorne is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Eda Clawthorne) of the 2020 Disney Channel animated series .
He is a juvenile demon who is the roommate, and later adoptive son, of Eda Clawthorne and the best friend of Luz Noceda. He believed he was the "king of demons" as his name suggests, and sought to restore his title and his glory. In Season 2, he is revealed to actually be a baby Titan.
He is voiced by , who also voices Hooty in the same series, as well as Stanley Pines, Soos Ramirez and Old Man McGucket in Gravity Falls.
==Appearance==
King is an almost canine creature. He has mostly dark gray fur, although its torso and the tip of its tail are covered in light gray fur. His eyes are pink with a yellow sclera. He has three fingers and two toes which (excluding his thumbs) look like white claws. His mouth only opens when he eats or yawns, and he has a purple tongue. He wears a red collar with a yellow tag.
The highlight of his appearance is a dog-like skull with horns, one of which is broken off. He eventually regains that horn in Season 2. He also obtains a golden medallion with a Titan crest upon it which he now wears on his collar, allowing him to appear invisible to the Collector.
Under the Collector's partnership, he now wears a blue and white robe, nightcap and white-bobbed slippers with purple rims and celestial patterns, as well as a beige necklace with a basic white tag and a plaster on his cracked skull.
In the epilogue 4 years after the series' events, King looks similar to his standard appearance but has now grown up to be slightly taller and his limbs are more stretched out than before, not to mention his horns have also grown slightly. The medallion on his collar now displays his initials and his skull plaster is now replaced with a cyan star sticker.
==Personality==
At the height of an ancient king, he is accustomed to acting like a monarch, treating people and objects as servants, commanding others, and acting greater than himself. He sometimes manages to assume leadership of some form, but loses it due to his negligence and ignorance.
King hates being called "cute" and having people treat him like a baby, but due to his small size, he has to rely on accessories designed for infants, such as a high chair and baby carrier. King has a huge love for food. When Luz offered to stay to become a witch, King first wanted Eda to agree so she could make them snacks, and whenever he is against doing something, the mention of food can easily change his mind.
King is shown to be lazy, often hanging out for naps instead of working and sometimes has to be forced or blackmailed into working much to his annoyance. When he is really tired, his body becomes limp and can be picked up without a problem.
However, upon realizing the true nature of his past, King shows a more insecure side of himself as the glamorous past he believed he once had was all a lie. Fortunately, after being reassured that he would still be accepted by his friends he remains friendly and jovial to everyone. After learning that he is the son of the Boiling Isles Titan, King temporarily becomes somewhat brooding and sad after realising he's the last of his kind, as well as being somewhat disturbed by Lilith's subservience to him. After a period of introspection with Steve, King realizes that his true desire was for friends after all and decides to drop his monarch-like attitude, though he does remain a little arrogant. However, to his end he would sacrifice himself to save Luz and her friends in order to pacify the Collector and keep him occupied.
==History==
=== Background ===
Millions of years before the start of the series, King was born as the youngest son of the Titan along with thousands of other siblings. However, at the time the titans were embroiled in a war with the Collectors, who had massacred almost all of them including King's siblings. Fearing of his son's safety, the Titan would hide the infant King on an isolated island inside a castle filled with protection runes, as well as multiple golems. As his final act, he would also seal away the Collector, mistakenly believing him to be evil along with his own physical body, keeping King safe.
Roughly 8 years before the events of the series, King would finally hatch from his egg and would be looked after by one of the golems Jean-Luc. Sometime later, a younger Eda would arrive on the island, seeking shelter from both the boiling rain and Emperor's Coven. As she adventured into the castle, she would come across the infant King and would decide to take him in after being pursued by Jean-Luc, though in the process he chips his horn. While initially believing him to be a regular animal, Eda hears King say his first words and play amongst stacks of objects like a monarch among his subjects, causing her to christen him King. The two would play make-believe with him as a monarch but as he grew up King would mistake these playtimes as genuine memories of a royal past, leading him to believe that he was the fallen king of demons.
==Trivia==
*He also knows how to bake cakes as shown in Agony of a Witch. 
*Interestingly, in Sense and Insensitivity he tells Luz that Luz's fame is closest to achieving his dream, implying that he doesn't believe he will ever get his throne back.
*In Edge of the World, it's confirmed that he is the last living Titan and the son of the Titan that forms the Boiling Isles.
*King's vocal powers were possibly hinted at by the fact he doesn't need to open his mouth to speak.
*While King's skull is a part of his face, Dana Terrace has drawn art of him hypothetically taking it off, revealing that his eyes would simply fall out and rest on his tongue. This is referenced in Disney's Tiny Tales series in which King does in one instance, take off his skull resulting in exactly that happening.
