**Typhon** is an ancient titan class monster. He is a legend in Mewni and hailed as the king or "Father of monsters". He is also the father of Astro Butterfly.

## Background

Typhon appears to have just randomly spawned in his dimension, Tartarus, and from infancy managed to survive on his own for well over a century before being found by Glossyrck, who had just happened to be wandering around random dimensions. He brought Typhon back and assigned him to look after the monster race, settling disputes and keeping things from spiraling out of control. With his power this was a more than easy task, and soon Typhon came to be the de facto leader of the monster tribes.

However, the mewmans soon arrived years later and, despite attempts to settle things peacefully, ended up declaring war on the monsters. Typhon first tried to remain neutral as Glossryck instructed, but couldn't bring himself to stand by and eventually joined the war as the leader of the monster forces. He spent years easily holding off the mewman armies and defending their land, but was soon tricked at what was supposed to be a meeting to discuss peace, and was sealed away.

Many generations later, Rosetta Butterfly happened to stumble across the tower in which he was sealed, and the two slowly started to form a relationship, which resulted in the birth of his son Astro. Fearing that the Magical High Commission would soon come for the child, Rosetta convinced him they she needed to leave mewni and that he could follow soon after. The Commission however still managed to track the mother and son down, and the confrontation between them resulted in the death of Rosetta.

With his love gone and being in no position to raise his son, he arranged for him to end up with Star, and then began forming a kingdom of his own around his former prison. He's opened his kingdom to all who didn't want to deal with the kingdoms or the MHC, and is determined to successfully defend his home from all who would threaten it.

## Personality

Despite his name and reputation, Typhon is typically a laid back and even goofy individual. He enjoys lounging about and fighting and so long as things don't go out of control, he's very lax about how his kingdom is run. When he does get serious however, he is terrifying. He shows no mercy to anyone who would threaten his people or his family, and won't think twice about killing if he thinks it's necessary... or if someone gets on his nerves enough.

He is very prideful, and knows he's the strongest thing on mewni. He lives by the old monster ways, believing that monsters should never submit or bow, and that they should live by their instincts. Despite being king he never expects or wants anyone to bow to him, and sees allegiance and submission as two different things. He can be unbelievably stubborn, and downright disrespectful if he doesn't think very highly of someone. When he sets his mind to do something, he does it, no matter who or what is unfortunate enough to get in his way.

While Typhon believes that the current Queen of mewni is the best they've had, he still won't align with her or join the court out of principal, and thinks that mewni will never truly have peace as long as Gloyssrck and the High Commission have a say in how things are done. He won't make a move against them, but he won't pretend to play nice either.

## Appearance

Typhon is a large and intimidating figure, standing at around ten feet tall. He has tan skin, and short white messy hair, along with a pair of golden eyes. When angered or in battle, the whites of his eyes will turn black. He has razor sharp teeth, two curved horns sticking out from his head, a long pointed tail, and large wings growing from his back. He usually wears a fur vest and brown pants.

## Relationships

### Rosetta Butterfly

The first women he loved enough to start a family with. Her death tore him apart and he still mourns over her. He was smitten by her determination to gain knowledge, and with the fact that not once did she ever show the slightest hint of fear around him. Something that not even his most powerful enemies could claim.

### Astro Butterfly

Originally Astro despised him, as the Commission claimed it was Typhon who killed Rosetta. After finding out the truth Astro has made an effort to reconnect with his father and learn about his monster heritage from him. Typhon cares about him deeply, but will not hold back when it comes to making him stronger. He wants him to truly be in touch with his monster side, and has drilled the old ways into him. He also tends to discourage what he's learned from his other teachers, claiming that those habits will "only get in the way". He enjoys messing and teasing with him, but is also protective of the boy due to what happened to Rosetta.

### Sting

His first and most trusted adviser. Typhon took her in as a girl and taught her how to fight and survive on her own. Since then she's vowed to serve at his side and protect Astro at all cost. She tends to be the voice of reason, though Typhon only occasionally listens to her.

### Magical High Commission

The High Commission were essentially his first family. When Glossyrck took him in he interacted with the group like any of his other children. But they began to become divided during the early conflicts between the monsters and mewmans. When the commission officially declared allegiance to the Queen, Typhon saw them as his enemies. In the first war between monsters and mewmans he killed of many members of the original commission, and while he isn't *actively* looking to fight them anymore, he becomes enraged at any sign of them. Especially after what happened to Rosetta. In the past he had siblings like relationships towards Hekapoo, and her betrayal in particular stung him rather badly.

### Amber

He's very impressed with Amber's skill and strength, and not so subtly hints towards his son that she could be a potential partner. This annoys Astro, but whenever he tries to tell him he already has Maria his father asks "Why not both?" and the conversation usually ends there...

### Fum & Bloom

With Bloom being a Titan Class monster, he has an interest in her. But since he knows she's part of the Earth Nymph tribe he doesn't brother trying to recruit her. He's certain Fum will soon reach Titan class, and keeps a close eye on him. He is happy that he is close to Astro since he knows it will keep the giant and his clan on good terms with their kingdom.

## Powers and Abilities

### **Abilities**

**Biology**: Typhon is essentially a god. His body is insanely durable, and his strength is unrivaled in all of mewni. Only the most powerful of magical or physical attacks are able to even damage him, and even then he is able to take more than a fair amount of it. He has the ability to absorb magical attacks and redirect them through his horns, and the ability to open portals without scissors.

**Intimidation**: Typhon possesses a hive mind like ability to intimidate other monsters. It can even effect Titan class monsters, and render monsters of lower classes completely immobile.

### **Weaknesses**

While Typhon has no specifics weakness, he can be overpowers with enough magic or enough forces gathered against him. He was able to be sealed away by Queen and Commission in the past, and admits that against the entire force of the Ten not even he would be able to prevail.

## Trivia

* Typhon had many titles during his rule. “*Typhon the Terrible” “Father Of Monsters” “Typhon the Unslain*” But one of the lesser known ones was “*The Uncrowned King*” He never once dawned a crown during his rule, because “A real king doesn’t need a piece of jewelry to flaunt his status. His presence alone should do that.”
* Typhon has eyes and ears in every Kingdom and tribe in mewni, including the Buttery castle. He always made news on Astro’s status top priority.
* During his rebellious teenage years, Typhon spent time on earth and would regularly clash with the Greek Gods. It wasn’t until Zues discovered thunder and lightening and attacked him with all the other gods in tow that he found himself outmatched. They made an agreement that he never challenge them again and he headed back to mewni.
* Typhon’s idea of looking after baby Astro was to pretty much let him do what he wanted. That’s how he’s survived in Tartarus for so long. Rosetta had to explain that that wasn’t how parenting worked.
* There are a handful of older long lived monsters who met Typhon as children. Some joined his kingdom, while others just stopped by to wish him the best. He just appreciates seeing some familiar faces.
* Aside from Rosetta, there was only ever one woman Typhon was loyal to. He spent most of his love life whoring around until it got him stabbed by his first Love. He speaks of the stabbing like a fond old memory, claiming that’s when he knew he was first in love.
* Although Typhon respects and even admires Star as a queen, he will never bow to her or any other royal. “Real monsters don’t bow to anyone” He never made anyone bow to him during his rule either. The giants have kept up this tradition, and after their training in Tartarus Astro has adopted it as well.
* Typhon has the ability to open portals without scissors. He’s been trying to teach Astro but the prince has had trouble getting the hang of it.
* Each of Typhon’s wings can clamp their feathers together and work like a shield. They’re also razor sharp, and he can cut down opponents or send out blade like feathers with them.
* Typhon’s top ten generals used to be known as “The Titanic Ten”. Each were insanely powerful, and after Typhon was defeated it took luring them out and picking them off one by one to finally beat them. All of the three great monster tribes were once led by one of the titans.
* Despite its name, the current monster Kingdom welcomes all into its gates. There are a number of mewmans and monsters from all different kingdoms and tribes that make up its citizens. There’s no army however. The landscape makes it so you can only attack from one angle, and Typhon deals with any and all attackers himself.
* Unlike the rest of the Magical High Commission, Typhon is not made of magic. He really doesn’t know what he’s made of or how he was even born. He just seemed to spawn in Tartarus one day and stumbled around for years until Glossaryck found him.
* Typhon has the ability to absorb and redirect magic through his horns. This made him a bane to the Butterfly family during the war, as the wand’s power was constantly turned back against them.
* Back in the day, he used to refer to Hekapoo as “Hekapoop” which infuriated her to no end. He also made a habit of constantly mocking Rhombulous which led to many failed attempts to crystallize him.
