Titan Spawn are a pair of mini bosses found in Dark Sanctuary. They are created by the darkness that appears when the Titan is created. Two are fought as an encounter shortly before the Titan itself. They are also the enemies that attack you in some lights-off sections, such as before you meet the Old Man, and behind the Donation Fountain.
Profile
Appearance
Titan Spawn resemble large, black human fetuses with white outlines and eyes. When hurt, the Spawn's form flickers, leaving some static appearance into their form for a little moment, this also resembles the Knight and the Titan appearances when attacked.
Main Story
Chapter 4
Titan Spawn as seen in the lights-off sections before meeting Gerson and behind the Donation Fountain
Titan Spawn are first encountered in the Dark Sanctuary's dark maze, where Ralsei notices a shadowy figure emanating red echoes approaching the Delta Warriors. He quickly orders Kris to run left and the party sprints to the lights. Fortunately, an old man turns on the lights for the maze and scares the spawn off. They reappear in the second dark maze and follow the heroes, but get chased off once again by the Old Man turning on the lights.
After the Knight summons a Titan by opening a second Dark Fountain within the 3rd Sanctuary, the Delta Warriors encounter more Titan Spawn as they attempt to ascend the Titan's stony shell. These Titan Spawn, like their adult counterpart, cannot be spared, and must be either defeated violently or destroyed via the Banish ACT. Later on, numerous Titan Spawn assist the Titan in its battle against the heroes, sacrificing themselves to be consumed by it when it's low on health. Later, they disappear after the Titan is destroyed with the Old Man's assistance.
In Battle
- Smaller Spawn bullets will move towards the SOUL.
- Smaller Spawn bullets, along with red ones that can’t be destroyed by the SOUL’s light, move towards the SOUL.
Strategy
While they cannot be spared, to purify them, you’ll need to defend, and destroy the Titan Spawns’ bullets with the SOULs light. TP gain is lowered, so if any tension items are on hand, it is recommended they are used. If you got the Black Shard in chapter 3, the Spawn can be easily killed by Kris by attacking.
Trivia
- Spawns, along with the Titan and the Knight, cannot be spared.
- Spawns are one of the only enemies to be children/offspring of another enemy(?)
- Unlike other enemies in the Dark World, the Titan Spawns may be killed normally. They will not run from the battle when their life reaches a critical level.
- Spawns are the few enemies up to Chapter 4 that can be killed to become stronger without having to freeze them.
- The fetus may be a reference to the Earthbound character Giygas. This is due to how similar Giygas looks to a fetus, and the iconography that Shigesato Itoi claimed served as inspiration for the character.
- It is uncertain if Spawns can grow into Titans, as a Titan seems to spawn very quickly when summoned by the Roaring Knight. They may be completely different to a Titan, as we don't know how a Titan's "biology" would work.
- Spawns growing into Titans could be how the roaring is started.
- It's possible that the "Purified" text and counter gained upon using "Unleash" on the Titan Spawns are refrences to OFF, one of the many inspirations for Undertale and Deltarune.
- This might also be the reasoning their fetus-like appearance, as some of OFF's many enemies are The Secretaries, which share a similar look with Titan Spawns.
- If you use "Unleash" on one spawn and kill the other one, Kris's stats will say "purified:2" despite killing one of them.
- Despite being called Titan Spawns, their appearances in lights-off sections show they are not always produced by Titans.
- However, due to Titans being beings of darkness, it is possible that they naturally exist on some level in places of extreme darkness without a physical form, where they can still produce their spawn.
