## **Information**:

**Name**: King Titan, The King of Shadows, The King of Death

**Age**: At least Hundreds of Years

**Gender**: Unknown (Referred to as Male)

**Size**: ~156.8m tall

**Mass**: ~288,000 Tonnes

**Source**: Ark: Survival Evolved

**Power Level**: At least **High 6-C**, Possibly **Low 6-B**, **Higher** as an Alpha, At least **High 6-A** Environmental Destruction with Corruption

**Classification**: Titan, Hyperfauna, Omega Level Threat

**Notable Abilities**:

* Ark Creature Physiology (Titan)
* Large Size (Type 2) (The King Titan is the largest of the Titans, towering over any other creature in the game massively)
* Bodily Weaponry (Type 1) (The King Titan is armed with powerful arms and claws, large spikes down its back, and sharp teeth, as well as a powerful tail)
* Corruption (The King Titan can corrupt creatures with Element Corruption, forcing them into its Hivemind. Even the sky turns purple upon the King Titan's summoning, likely due to Element Corruption particulates being released from its body.)
* Asteroid Manipulation (Can summon Asteroids at its opponents)
* Energy Manipulation (The King Titan can charge its punches with energy to release powerful shockwaves)
* Social Influencing, Morality Manipulation & Animal Manipulation (The King Titan, as the strongest force of Element Corruption on the planet, is able to command other creatures affected by the corruption)
* Magma Manipulation (Summoned asteroids leave large pools of lava in their craters)
* Breath Attack (Can breathe fireballs from its mouth)
* Shockwave Creation & Repulsion (It's charge punch creates a large shockwave which repels nearby targets)
* Healing (The King Titan can go into a healing state, where it stops attacking and heals itself at a massive pace)
* Fire Manipulation (Can breathe fireballs from its mouth)
* Explosion Manipulation (Fireballs and meteors explode on impact)
* Spawning (Can summon Corrupted Creatures around it, and create Element Nodes which can birth Corrupted Giganotosaurus)
* Terraforming (Has control over Element Corruption, which covered the surface of the Earth, dug deep into the core, and became more abundant than Iron, which heavily altered Earth's Magnetic Field and Atmosphere)
* Hivemind (The King Titan shares the Corrupted Hivemind with every other Corrupted Creature)
* Telepathy (The King Titan is able to directly communicate with others within the Corrupted Hivemind, and command them if necessary. His lieutenants, the other Titans, are able to call to him, which is how the Survivor summons him)
* Longevity (Has lived at very least since 21st Century Humanity, which is heavily implied to have happened far, far before Helena and co fought with it. Which is also implied to be potentially centuries before The Survivor fights it)
* Enhanced Senses (The King Titan was able to pursue and follow Diana's group even while they were a full day ahead of it)
* Colour Manipulation (Upon being summoned, the King Titan's presence alone changes the colour of the sky to a deep purple.)

**Energy Capacity**: At least **Large Island Scale**, Possibly **Small Country Scale** (Stronger than the Ice, Forest, and Desert Titans. Can summon meteors that are this powerful. Could overpower the Mega Mek piloted by Helena, Mei Yin, Diana, and Santiago. The Titans were strong enough to overwhelm 21st-century humanity, who were capable of creating Overseers, and were responsible for low-orbit bombings which destroyed all of New Zealand's Cities, and later destroyed the entire west coast of another country.), **Higher** as an Alpha (The Alpha King Titan is a stronger incarnation of the King Titan), At least **Global Scale** Environmental Destruction with Corruption (The King Titan is the main source of, and most prominent figure of Element Corruption, which covered the entire planet in Element nodes, burrowed deep into the core of Earth and seemingly destroyed its atmosphere allowing meteors to hit the surface, leaving it as a nigh-uninhabitable wasteland. The King Titan's influence was keeping the Arks from returning to Earth to reseed it.)

**Speed Level**: At least **Subsonic** Travel Speed (While it is relatively slow moving for its size, its size alone places it on this level), **Supersonic** Attack Speed (Large Size allows its attacks to surpass the speed of sound)

**Strength Level**: At least **Grade G** Lifting Strength (Much larger and stronger than the Ice, Forest, and Desert Titans, far larger and stronger than the Titanosaur. Can contend with the Mega Mek, which would weigh around this much.)

**Resilience Level**: At least **Large Island Scale**, Possibly **Small Country Scale** (Capable of taking hits from the 3 other titans, and the Mega Mek, all of which should be superior, or at least comparable to Overseers), **Higher** as an Alpha (The Alpha King Titan is more durable than the regular King Titan)

* **Resistances**: Conventional Weaponry (The King Titans skin is bulletproof), Corruption (The King Titan is the most prominent figure of Element corruption on Earth, and seemingly controls the Corruption itself)

**Arsenal**:

* **Standard**: Corrupted Creatures, Corruption Nodes, Element

**Intelligence**: **High Animalistic** (The King Titan was able to sense Survivors and contend with a Mega Mek piloted by Helena, Mei Yin, Diana, and Santiago, it shows enough thinking capacity to heal itself during battles, and will retreat when necessary, it also seemingly controls the lower Corrupted Creatures as a form of Hivemind. The King Titan is capable of hiding and smart enough to only fight where it is at it's strongest, understanding that it has no need to 'step down from it's throne')

**Weaknesses**:

* Large bulky size and stature makes it relatively slow, and its mobility is limited.
* If a connection to the Corruption is severed in one of his subordinates, he is unable to command them (As shown when The Survivor destroyed the Corruption Nodes on each of the Titans, forcing them against the King Titan)
* The King Titan is vulnerable while healing, as it cannot attack.

**Stamina**: At least **Superhuman** (Helena mentioned that the King Titan was still pursuing their group even though they were days ahead of it.)

**Endurance: Immense** (The King Titan was able to fight against, and overpower the Mega Mek piloted by 4 Humans, comparable to other Corrupted Creatures in terms of fighting ferocity, and will continue to fight with its victims even with huge gashes all over its body, until it dies.)

**Range**: At least **Tens of Metres** with most melee attacks (It's arms alone are almost 100 metres long), **Hundreds of Metres** with Tail (It's tail extends well over 100 metres), **Higher** with Ranged Attacks (Meteors can flood the battlefield for hundreds of metres, fireballs can travel these distances, shockwaves spread omnidirectionally for hundreds of metres)

**Attacks**:

* **Meteors**: The King Titan summons large meteorites from the sky to rain down on its opponents. These rocks hit the ground with explosive force, and leave craters full of molten lava beneath them.
* **Corrupted Creatures**: The Corrupted creatures found throughout the Post-Apocalyptic Earth are all under the control of the King Titan, including the other 3 Titans present.
	+ **Corrupted Nodes**: Corrupted nodes are found throughout Earth and can be created by the King Titan, these can create Corrupted Giganotosaurus.
* **Fireballs**: The King Titan can spew explosive fireballs from its mouth.
* **Melee Attacks**: The King Titan is able to throw a variety of melee attacks
	+ **Punches**: The King Titan can punch the ground beneath it to create huge shockwaves which release outwards around it.
	+ **Tail Swing**: The King Titan spins around, sprawling its huge tail to hit everything within its vacinity.
	+ **Stomp**: The King Titan uses the force of its massive weight to stomp on opponents that get too close.
* **Healing**: The King Titan stops to heal itself, the rate of its healing is fast, but the King Titan is left vulnerable while this process happens.

**Environment**: King Titan Arena (It is stated that this is where he is at his strongest, and that he will show himself nowhere else)

**Note**: Contrary to popular belief, the King Titan has **zero** evidence of being directly responsible for Earth no longer spinning in the Ark Universe. The King Titan was never stated to have "Stopped Earth's Rotation with a Punch" (*Which would be a **Moon Scale** feat*). Earth's lack of rotation is mentioned by Helena during the Extinction Storyline, and both Helena and Diana note the depth to which Element has dug into the Earth, becoming more abundant than even the likes of Iron, which has caused major cataclysm in the Magnetic Field. This has led the Ark Community to believe that Element Corruption has caused the Earth's Rotation to slow to a stop over time, which is the current theory with the most basis.

* Similarly, the Moon's Destruction in Ark is also mysteriously never spoken of in the Explorer Notes, another **Moon Scale** event that was left unanswered. The most widely followed theory referencing this event seemingly being that one of the Late Humanities weapons created this explosion. Which has no basis, and is pure, un-evidenced speculation.
