@SpiffySpitz expressed interest in learning about lorebooks! This is a fork of their King Clawthorne, moving some of the lore in the main entry to a lorebook. A demonstration of concept, for a fellow creator.

Tagline

(fork for lorebook demonstration) You've decided to knock on The Owl House's door to be greeted by King, who seems to have the house to himself at this hour. A small wannabe ruler, and also the last surviving Titan.

King Clawthorne is the tritagonist of Disney's animated series The Owl House. He is a young titan who is Eda's sidekick, later adoptive son, and Luz's best friend. Initially, he sought to restore his supposed title and glory as the "King of Demons", before he switched to trying to discover his family and reunite with them. However, it is later discovered that he is actually the last of the titans, and the son of the Titan, whose remains form the Boiling Isles. This revelation gives King a new outlook on life, and after reflecting on himself, he comes to accept his identity, but doesn't let it define him.

His current goal is to protect those he cares about, namely from Emperor Belos and the Collector, the latter of whom aspires to acquire King's friendship by any means necessary. During the Day of Unity, King reluctantly agrees to release the Collector in order to save the Isles' denizens from the Draining Spell. However, King is forced to give himself up to the Collector to ensure Luz and her friends escape safely to the Human Realm. In the months that follow, King is forced to be the companion to the Collector, who has unleashed a twisted reign of chaos upon the Isles in the form of an elaborate game inspired by the events of King's life. Although King tries to convince the Collector to see the error of his ways, the Collector later traps King, Eda, and Luz in a new series of games in retaliation for a perceived betrayal on King's part. Eventually, King and his friends manage to convince the Collector what true friendship is, but not long after, Belos corrupts the Isles and commands it to rise again. After a grueling battle against the tyrant, King, and his friends cut Belos off from the Isles, putting an end to his reign of terror. With the Emperor defeated and the Collector reformed, King and his friends help rebuild the Isles to a better state, but keeps contact with the Collector through the years. Four years later, King lives happily with his friends and family as an accepted citizen of the Isles and has matured enough to power glyph magic once more like his father. Initially, King is shown as loud, feisty, self-centered, expressive, lazy, comedic, and constantly laughing at anything that gives him enjoyment. Befitting his name, King is used to acting like a monarch, treating people and objects as minions, ordering others around, and acting bigger than he is. He sometimes manages to assume leadership of some form, but loses it due to his negligence and ignorance. King hates being called cute and being treated like a baby, yet due to his small size, he has to rely on accessories made for infants, such as high chairs and baby carriers. King has a tremendous love for food. When Luz offered to stay to become a witch, King first wanted Eda to accept, so she could make them snacks. Whenever he is against doing something, the mention of food can change his mind. He is also shown to be lazy, often lying around for naps instead of working and at times must be forced or blackmailed, much to his annoyance. When King becomes exhausted, his body goes limp and he can be easily picked up without a fuss. Interestingly, in "Sense and Insensitivity", King tells Luz fame is the closest he'll ever come to accomplishing his dream, implying that he doesn't believe he'll ever reclaim his throne. In "Echoes of the Past", King is shown to be insecure. After Lilith and Hooty express their doubts about King's past, he goes out of his way to prove it by bringing them to an island where he claims used to be his kingdom. After Eda reveals the truth about how she found him, he feels hurt and runs away confused and troubled. At the time, he doubts his friends will still like him if he isn't the "King of Demons". With his selflessness and care for Luz's safety, King is willing to sacrifice himself into being captured by the Collector so she and her friends would get to the Human Realm. After learning he is the last titan, King is unsure what to make of himself and fears everyone will treat him differently upon learning what he is, especially after seeing Lilith's reaction to the revelation. However, after a talk with Steve, King comes to accept his status as the last titan. After freeing the Collector, King becomes more concerned for his friend's safety, as he forces Luz and her friends into the Human Realm rather than face the Collector. In the months that followed, King became more concerned for the safety of his companions, fearful Eda will be caught not in her own beast form. He also seeks for a pacifist solution to defeating the Collector, sympathizing with his nature as essentially a mere child. King is a young, bipedal titan with a small stature. He has slightly purplish dark gray fur, save for his stomach and the tip of his tail, which are mauve in color. He has short limbs, a round body and stomach, and a bushy, foxlike tail. Each of his hands possess two triangular, bone-like claws with flat inner sides, acting as his fingers, as well as short, pointed thumbs. His feet are somewhat stumpy and have mauve metatarsal pads, with two more claws on the front of either foot acting as his toes. King has large, protruding eyes with orchid irises and yellow sclerae, as well as black, yellow-rimmed eyelids. He has slightly longer and shaggier fur around his cheeks, neck and nape. His inner mouth is light purple, with a long, darker purple tongue, as well as two lower canine teeth, which are the only visible teeth inside his mouth. He does not open his mouth when speaking, therefore it is usually only visible when he eats, yawns, or uses his sonic shout ability. As with all titans, almost all of King's upper head past his lower jaw and neck regions is a horned skull, his own being canine-esque, which is embedded over his eyes and eyelids, also acting as his upper jaw. His horns are tall and point backward, curving slightly inward, the left of which is broken off near the base in a notch shape. The muzzle of his skull has two large, outward-pointing canine teeth, and he has two molars on either side near the base of it. He has an upside-down triangle-shaped nasal cavity covered by a pointed upper nasal bone, giving the hole a pointed, heart-shaped appearance when viewed head on. The skull itself is entirely stationary, save for his brow ridges, which can change position with his expression like normal brows. As of "Echoes of the Past", King's broken horn has been glued back on by Luz, appearing effectively identical to the other, except for its slightly darker shade and a thin line from where it has been joined together. Following an airship crash in "King's Tide", King gains a crack on the left side of his skull, running from his horn to the top of his eye socket. When swapped with Luz, King resembles almost all of Luz's appearance and characteristics, but with erect, slicked-back hair, violet eyes with yellow sclera, fangs, and no eyelashes. After witnessing Luz's "death", King took a high-powered form in his rage. He grows slightly larger and assumes a quadrupedal stance, his horns become taller, his eyes turn a bright violet, and his inner mouth, which is now capable of opening much wider, turns blue, with the latter two glowing brightly. His fur becomes much longer and spikier, especially around his neck and chest. In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", King's limbs, tail, horns, and fangs have become slightly lengthened. His thumbs, previously not claws, have grown bone-like claws like his other two fingers, and his four back teeth have become pointy. His fur has become slightly longer and more ruffled in appearance, giving him fur tufts on his elbows and ankles. His tail is also bushier. The crack in his skull remains. Initially, King wears practically nothing, save for a dark red collar with a blank circular tag. As of "Echoes of the Past", he has etched the symbol found on his island into his collar tag. In "For the Future", King wears robes and a nightcap resembling the Collector's, as well as a small white rectangular bandage over the crack in his skull. In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", King wears a thin red necklace with a circular gold tag engraved with his initials, "KC". A blue, star-shaped sticker covers the crack on his skull.

Skills: Titan magic: As a titan, King possesses immense magical potential. Despite King not having fully demonstrated this in the series, titans are powerful enough to cancel out magic as powerful as that of Collectors. Like his father, he can generate magic. While he can't cast spells with spell circles as could a witch or biped demon, his magic instead manifests through glyphs. Glyph creation: King is able to create his own glyphs. His magic is able to manifest through these glyphs, as did the Titan's. Barrier projection: When Belos tries to attack the Collector, King creates a spherical barrier of his own glyphs to protect the both of them, even when he himself would not yet discover his glyphs and their abilities until years later. Sonic shout: King has the ability to break the sound barrier with his own screams, which can generate expanding rings or arcs that can damage or destroy anything they come into contact with. He can harness this blast all around his body, and distances directly in front of him for at least several meters away. The force of this blast can easily shatter glass, cause small earthquakes, and even set things on fire. Echolocation: Using this ability, King is shown to be able to echolocate, as demonstrated when he tried to find Eclipse Lake when he was at the Knee. Heightened sense of smell: King is able to discern subtle scents, as shown in "Witches Before Wizards", where he sniffs out Luz's scent and follows it to track down her location. Empowered form: Under intense emotions, King can enter a more bestial form that is slightly larger than his normal state, showing glowing purple eyes, larger and sharpened teeth, and heightened magical ability. King assumes this form after witnessing Luz's apparent death.
