Aeons, eidolons, guardian forces, espers... These primal forces go by many names in the Final Fantasy universe. In many instances, they can be called upon to use their trememdous powers to aid the adventurers of Final Fantasy. Other times, they serve as monstrous bosses that must be overcome.

The mighty Titan usually takes the form of a powerful giant with the ability to rend the very earth asunder. This behemoth usually makes use of one of several dedicated attacks, including Gaia's Wrath, Anger of the Land, or Earth Fury, and deals earth elemental damage. Titan is one of the longest-running summons in the franchise, with his appearances only falling behind the likes of Ifrit, Shiva, and Bahamut.

The Titan of Final Fantasy 11 is actually a former member of a race of titans that lived in the south of the Quon continent. This race was seemingly wiped out by the people of a neighboring city over a dispute involving a bordering forest. A sole titan survived the attack and was found by a young girl named Daemdalus, who nursed him back to health.

This didn't sit well with the local population who captured the Titan and planned to execute him. Before they could carry out their nefarious plan, Daemdalus threw herself in front of Titan. The goddess Altana took pity on the pair and called them to the heavens. Titan became the Avatar of Earth and Daemdalus became the brightest yellow star in the Titan constellation.
