I don't expect this conversation to go much further and frankly I don't want it to, but I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that the Snarehunter Queens are not given a "Titanus" name in the book either, but are explicitly and repeatedly called Titans during the campaign. Moreover, the lesser Snarehunters have a classification of ''Cantus formica'' while the Queens are ''Cantus Silva Ant'', and it is stated that one transforms into the other. This seems to run counter to your argument that a specific type of creature being a Titan means that all types of that creature must be too.

Also worth noting that the lesser Snarehunters and Queens don't have the same classification—''Cantus formica'' for the former and ''Cantus Silva Ant'' for the latter—despite one transforming into the other.


Also, as an aside, the book calling "''Titanus kong''" and "''Titanus camazotz''" those characters' "cryptozoological classifications" seems to in and of itself be a contradiction. Up to this point, "classification" has been used for Titans and "cryptozoological classification" for generic superspecies. You can even see this difference side-by-side in the bios from ''Kingdom Kong'', where Camazotz is "Classification: Titanus Camazotz" and Spirit Tiger is "Cryptozoological classification: Tigris Spiritus." The fact of the matter is, this franchise's lore is confusing and inconsistent, and it is not as clear-cut as you want it to be. We all try to put the puzzle pieces together as best we can, but asserting things the way that you do is helpful to no-one.
