Titan

Titans (Japanese: 巨神獣, Kyoshin-jū, lit. Giant Divine Beasts, read as アルス, Arusu) are creatures in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Titans greatly vary in size, from small ones like Azurda and medium sized ones like the Titan Battleship rather used for transportation, to enormous ones such as Gormott, Uraya and Mor Ardain. These larger Titans serve as the landmasses that make up the world of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. They march toward death, circling the World Tree in the world of Alrest overrun by a sea of clouds. Civilizations dwell on the Titan's backs, and many Nations have been established, ruling over the Titans. Each Nation is home to different cultures, various ecosystems, and diverse regions.
