Definitely prefer this version. That’s how I’m used to seeing him represented. His size makes me wonder what type of Titan we are going to have for the Aztecs? Will it be a serpent or some type of giant? Those were the only ones I found that fit the bill for a Titan.

i understand why you like the monstrous form more i tend to like dinos and monstrous creatures also more. its just different and more unique but i understand ppl tend to like human/humanoid versions more cause they are more relatable. (thats why still most players play human races in RPGs)
The fun fact really was that Quetzalcoatl really had/has a human form (i didn’t come up with that :smiley: ) which i assume also had a similar reason that ppl felt more “connected” and it felt more “human” and i tried to make the human form look as cool as possible but still try to stay close to the sources i found.

About the titans:

the aztec mod did use Cipactli as the titan. but you are right Quinametzin could fit very well too! (i could try to let AI visualise them you guys are interested) also Tlaltecuhtli seems to be also more monstrous but it seems she is an important earth goddess we might see as a minor god?
(bold idea: make Quetzalcoatl human form as the major god portrait and statue and the titan the monstrous form of Quetzalcoatl x))

"I don’t really like this muscular version of the artwork, but it certainly carries more symbolism than the current version.

Please stop the AI Slop!

Maybe. Not sure if he should be a spinosaurus though. Seems most of his references are towards a crocodilian creature.

I’m very intrigued, curious, and hype to see what the devs will do with Ciptali.

I think Cipatli was said to look like a mix between a sea monster, a shark, a crocodile, and a frog/toad.

I hope Cipactli moves on all fours to make it unique compared to the other Titans. The Japanese Titan was the first to introduce its own distinctive slithering gait, and hopefully, Cipactli carries that torch with its own style.

i partly liked the idea of a spinosaurus inspired creature cause it blends crocodilian and fish features relative well in my opinion (beside being a dino ofc) but i also wanted to play with the idea of a more fish or toad like creature with more subtle crocodilian features - and a more crocodilian one ofc.

but @Trimyth1699 already posted one i am personally in love with already and is much better. this one:

this one is so well done and i really hope this will be how the titan will look like. its like an aztec godzilla with prominent crocodillian features (and a few very fitting fish ones) LOVE IT.


(this is not bad either but i prefer the other one more)

colourwise i personally think according to this image:

it should have primary an amber and secondary a blood-red colour scheme.


and not green like EE aztec mod which looked like this:


it should look more similar like this:

i think the primary attacks should be with its mouth and with its tail (similar to japanese titan)

i btw partly agree with this. the introduction of the japanese titan was great and should have happaned to the OG titans aswell.
i like the idea of a titan primary on all fours but with a long (proabaly crocoilian) tail the hitbox might be too different from the others. and yes the japanese is different in design but its still quite upright in its design so the hitbox is similar to the bipedal ones.

if this wouldn’t be an issue (which i assume really might be) i think a similar movement like (and overall design beside the decoration) a dread saurian would be very fitting/cool:

otherwise two other animation/movement styles could be something similar to this:

or


i also came up with an idea of the spawn animation leaving the titan gate:


(top left is no1 and bottom right is no8)
