User blog:BunsenH/Titans vs. Colossals

When the game describes a creature as a "Titan", that doesn't mean that that's the name for the monster's type. The Titans were beings from Greek mythology, immensely strong and powerful. We now use the word to mean something that is similarly large and powerful. (It's also the name for one of the moons of Saturn, and that name is taken from the Greek beings.)

The Colossals are beings in the original MSM game -- the Islands supposedly sit on top of their heads. That word also comes from ancient Greek -- a "colossus" is an enormous statue. And it's also now used to mean something extremely large.
