King Clawthorne (voiced by Alex Hirsch in the present, Dana Terrace as a baby and toddler forms, and "squeak of rage" effects) is a small young titan with a skull-like head, and Eda's adopted son/ward who is the self-proclaimed "King of Demons". While it is not known if he truly is the King of Demons, he does have a confident and domineering attitude, which implies that he once held some greatness. He was initially frightened of Luz when she first arrived at the Owl House, but warmed up to her when she helped him, and the two have since developed a sibling-like bond. King wants to be seen as "cool" and claims to have vast knowledge of all monsters and demons, though some of it might be based on his own false presumptions.

Lore & Background

In season two, King's origins begin to be revealed. In the episode "Echoes of the Past", King discovers that he is not actually the king of demons. Eda found him as an egg on an island, being watched over by a strange amorphous creature that she managed to evade. After she brought the egg home, it hatched, and she raised him as her son, unintentionally convincing him he was the King of Demons. He learns that he was found as an egg, not that he had just hatched at that moment.
