For over a century, the greatest threat to humanity has been the Titans—gigantic humanoid creatures with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Their origins remain shrouded in mystery, and their very existence has forced mankind into isolation behind the three great walls.
Through years of observation, scholars and military strategists have categorized Titans into distinct types, based on behavior, intelligence, and physical attributes.
1. Pure Titans
The most common type, Pure Titans, range in height from 3 to 15 meters. They are mindless, instinct-driven, and exist solely to devour humans. Despite lacking any form of intelligence, they are unnervingly persistent.
Unnatural Biology: Titans do not require food or water to survive, yet they consume humans relentlessly. Their digestive system is non-functional, and after eating, they regurgitate human remains in large, compressed balls.
Weakness: The only way to kill a Pure Titan is to strike its nape, a weak point located at the back of the neck.
Erratic Behavior: Some move sluggishly, while others sprint at terrifying speeds.
2. Abnormal Titans
Unlike Pure Titans, Abnormals display erratic or unpredictable behavior. Some move with unnatural speed, leap great distances, or completely ignore humans until triggered.
Unorthodox Attacks: Some Abnormals charge directly at large groups, while others display hunting tactics not seen in Pure Titans.
Higher Threat Level: Because their actions are unpredictable, Abnormals pose a greater danger to soldiers.
Rare Occurrence: Not all Titans exhibit these traits, making them more difficult to classify.
3. The Nine Titans
Unlike the mindless masses, The Nine Titans possess human intelligence and unique abilities, making them the greatest known weapons in battle. Each one is inherited by Eldians through a transformation process, granting its user immense power.
The Nine Titans are:
Colossal Titan – Is the the tallest Titan of all standing at a towering 60 meters, the Colossal Titan can generate immense heat and steam, capable of causing massive destruction like nuclear bomb when transforming.
Armored Titan – Covered in hardened plates, making it nearly indestructible.
Female Titan – Noted for its versatility, the Female Titan can attract Pure Titans with its scream and possesses the ability to harden parts of its skin, enhancing both offense and defense.
Beast Titan – Often exhibiting animalistic traits, the Beast Titan is capable of precise throwing techniques and, in some cases, controlling Pure Titans.
Jaw Titan – The smallest of the Nine, the Jaw Titan is incredibly swift and agile, equipped with powerful jaws and claws capable of crushing and tearing through various materials.
Cart Titan – Moves on all fours, with endurance far surpassing other Titans.
War Hammer Titan – Can create hardened weapons from its own body.
Attack Titan – Known for its fighting instinct and ability to defy fate.
Founding Titan – The most powerful of all, capable of controlling all other Titans and manipulating memories.
Final Thoughts
The true nature of the Titans remains unknown, but their threat to humanity is undeniable. Whether mindless or intelligent, they all share one horrifying reality—the power to erase mankind from existence.
