Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

Frustrated with the lack of progress with his plans to take over Olympus,Hades releases the four Titans - the Tornado Titan being one of them - onto Olympus. After they wreak havoc in Olympus and leave it in ruins, Hades brings the Tornado Titan, theLava Titan and theIce Titan into the Realm of the Gods atop Mount Olympus. The Lava and Ice Titans encloseZeus in a cooled lava cone of their own making, while Hades smugly watches from Zeus's throne, saying that he now calls the shots.

Before Hades can do much more, however, he is confronted bySora,Donald,Goofy, andHercules, who fight both the Lava and Ice Titans together. After the two of them are subdued, they confront the Tornado Titan, who uses the powers of the defeated Lava and Ice Titans.

Finally, when all the Titans are defeated and Hercules frees Zeus from his prison, Hercules grabs the Tornado Titan and sucks up the other Titans. He then swings all four of them into space, causing a massive explosion.

Other appearances[edit]

Kingdom Hearts manga[edit]

The Tornado Titan makes a cameo appearance in themanga adaptation ofKingdom Hearts, atOlympus Coliseum alongside theRock Titan,Ice Titan,Lava Titan, andHades.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

The Tornado Titan appears as an illustration on the backside of theTitan Cup trophy.

Design[edit]

True to his name, the Tornado Titan resembles a large, animate funnel-shaped tornado. The swirling wind composing his body is black and his eyes are red. The Tornado Titan's body is flexible and can bend, inflate, and contort his body with his movements. He is also able to extend a pair of wind funnels from the sides of his body that act as arms.

Strategy[edit]

While Sora fights the Ice and Lava Titans, the Tornado Titan remains out of reach in the background. However he is still able to act by launching non-damaging wind gusts at the party at various points in the battle, including the start of the battle, when the Ice Titan or Lava Titan's HP is reduced below 50%, and when the Ice Titan or Lava Titan is defeated.

After the other two Titans are both defeated, the Tornado Titan is fought directly. The fight begins on the ground, where the Tornado Titan can hurl debris at Sora which can be blocked. After using Blow Away and Debris Attack 2-4 times he will suck up Sora, temporarily separating him from Donald, Goofy and Hercules.

As Sora dives towards the Tornado Titan, he will shoot lots of debris and fireballs at him, and upon descending enough or using a dive attack, Sora is in a floating state while the Tornado Titan can appear in three different spots. If in the center, he will hurl debris as usual. If above the Ice Titan, he will create a gust of ice. If above the Lava Titan, he will send fireballs raining down. All of these attacks can be easily avoided byAirstepping towards a glowing piece of debris very close to him, and will even allow Sora to land a few hits on him. After 2 minutes pass in this state and the Tornado Titan is below 33% HP, he will return to his first phase where Sora fights him on the ground.

Upon the Tornado Titan's defeat, Sora will gain a maxHP increase.

Origin[edit]

The Tornado Titan first appears in Disney's 1997 animated feature,Hercules, voiced byCorey Burton. Known in Disney canon as "Stratos," he wreaks havoc eons before the events of the film, along with his fellow Titans. The Titans' rampage is stopped by Zeus, however, and they are all imprisoned in a cage of lightning deep beneath the sea. Eighteen years after the birth of Hercules, Hades, the Lord of the Dead, steals the young hero's godly strength and uses his power to unleash Lythos and the other Titans. Hades, playing off of the Titans' lust for vengeance against Zeus, then proceeds to use the gigantic creatures to take over Mount Olympus, as it was foretold to him long ago in a prophecy made by the three Fates.
