Origin

No reason provided.

In Hesiod's Theogony, Gaia births Typhon by joining with Tartarus itself, after the Titanomochy. Typhon is described as possessing a hundred snake heads on his shoulders, and with fire in each of his and the snake's eyes. He is stated to have the potential to overthrow Olympus and rule the cosmos, and he makes strong bellows indescribable to the Gods. Zeus goes to battle with Typhon and the impacts cause shockwaves and earthquakes everywhere, including the Underworld and Tartarus. Zeus burns Typhon's heads with his lightning bolts and quickly defeats him, throwing him into Tartarus. From then on Typhon gives the world its moist blowing winds.^[1]

Design

In most appearances, Typhon is a palette-swap of Tiamat.

In Shin Megami Tensei: Nine and Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine, Typhon re-uses Tiamat's Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II design, but colored blue instead of red.

↑ "After Zeus drove the Titans from heaven, huge Gaia joined with Tartarus and bore her youngest child, Typhon, aided by golden Aphrodite. His hands were strong and capable of great deeds, and his feet were tireless. A hundred snake heads sat on his shoulders, fearsome dragons with dark flickering tongues. Fire sparkled from the eyes on each divine head, and with each look his eyes burned fire. The voices in all the heads produced indescribable sounds. At times, they made sounds the gods could understand; at other times, they bellowed loudly like a giant bull with unbelievable strength or roared like a proud lion or cried like a litter of puppies, amazing to behold, or they hissed and made the tall mountains echo. And terrible deeds would have happened on that day, and Typhon would have ruled over mortals and gods alike had Zeus, father of gods and mortals, not been watching. He thundered loud and hard and the earth shook violently, as did the heavens above and the seas and the Oceanic streams and deep Tartarus. As lord Zeus rushed ahead, all Olympus shook under his immortal feet, and the earth groaned. Beneath them, the violet sea was consumed by the heat of the thunder and lightning and the monster’s flames and winds and blazing bolts. And the earth, sea, and sky all boiled, and the force of the immortals sent great waves crashing over the sea shores, and an endless quake arose; and Hades, lord of the underworld, and the Titans in Tartarus around Cronos trembled in fear of the endless noise and terrible battle-strife. When Zeus had raised his might and taken his weapons, thunder and lightning, he leapt from Olympus onto the terrifying monster and burnt all of his divine heads. Once overpowered by striking blows, Typhon fell over lame, and the wide earth groaned; and as he was struck, flames flew from the thunderbolt lord in the dark, rocky mountain dells, and this awesome blast burnt much of the wide earth and melted it like tin that skilled young men heat in well-pierced melting pots or like iron, the strongest of things, tamed in the mountain dells by blazing fire and melted in the divine earth by skilled Hephaestus; so the fire melted in the earth. And with rage in his heart, Zeus hurled Typhon into broad Tartarus. From Typhon comes the might of the moist-blowing winds, separate from Notus, Boreas, and clean Zephyrus, which are born of the gods and a profit for mortals." Theogony, Hesiod. Pages 27-28. Translation by Michael Huemann.
