Kaiju

The **Titans**, also known as **Kaiju** (怪獣 or 怪獸 *kaijū*, lit. "strange beast" or "monster"), are ancient gigantic creatures that appear in *Godzilla: Lord of the Galaxy*.

In order for the creature to be classified as Titan, it needs to have a height of 45-50 meters, a length of 100 meters or more (if it has tail and its posture is parallel to the ground) and a weight of no less than 1,000 metric tons. In addition to such size, Titans must be resistant to most types of conventional weaponry.

Although Titans come in many forms, all of them are immune to the deadly radiation of The Underground, with some species evolving to sustain themselves on radiation. Titans were said to have thrived in the planet's ancient past, and retreated underground and entered states of dormancy for reason yet unknown. Many Kaiju respond to their "King," a Titan which has cemented itself as the strongest of the creatures, typically by defeating the previous King. By 2020, EDF had discovered many Titans across the globe, the many of which were found in a state of deep hibernation. Containment and research Outposts were typically constructed around these dormant Titans. EDF also discovered evidence that Titans and humans coexisted in ancient times, with the Titans worshiped as gods and serving as inspiration for many mythological creatures. For this reason, many Titans are named after mythological beings from around the world which they may have inspired in the first place.

## Classification

Before the term "Titan" became generally accepted, giant monsters were deemed as **Giant Unidentified Life Forms**. Nowadays, EDF uses "Titan/Kaiju" as the general term for giant creatures, with several sub-divisions.

* **Cryptids** - any sort of unknown, extinct or legendary creatures whose present existence was disputed. An example of a cryptid Titan is the Loch Ness Monster.
* **Sub-Titans** (*kyojū* 巨獣 "Giant Beast") - Category 2-3 Titans, also large category 1 creatures.
* **Great Titans** (*daikaiju 大怪獣 "*Giant Monster") - Used for Titans with Category 6 and above. The prefix *dai-* emphasizes their great size, status and power.
* **Divine Titans** (*shinjū* 神獣 "Divine Beast") - Titans with Godlike powers and supernatural origins. Their abilities often can be described as nothing but pure magic. Divine Titans usually exist as a single individual. A good example of Divine Titans would be Mothra, with her extrasensory senses and telepathy, and Manda, with her ability to manipulate wather and summon thunderstorm.
* **Demigods** - Titan species who may posses godlike powers, but unlike divine Titans their abilities were developed through evolution.
* **Alpha Titans** - Titans who rule over the group of Titans, an entire species or a specific area. Kaiju who rule the entire planetary ecosystem are known as **Kings**.
* **Ghidorahs** - a strange and mysterious extraterrestrial three-headed dragon-like Titans.
