Tiamat, also dubbed Titanus Tiamat, is a giant serpentine Titan who first appears as a major antagonist in the graphic novel Godzilla Dominion, a minor antagonist of the 2024 film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and an additional supporting antagonist in the 2024 video game Kong: Survivor Instinct.

Tiamat was one of several off-screen Titans whose names were displayed on maps in Godzilla: King of the Monsters , with Tiamat slumbering underneath Stone Mountain in Georgia before being woken up by King Ghidorah. In Godzilla Dominion, Godzilla battles Tiamat for an underwater cavern it had claimed by defeating a member of Kong's species. A similar territorial dispute plays out on The New Empire, with Tiamat not surviving the encounter.
