Warning: Spoilers for Attack on Titan<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Few anime series have made their monsters feel as important to the story as Attack on Titan<\/strong><\/em>. At first, the Titans seem like little more than terrifying giants whose only purpose is hunting down humanity. But as Eren Yeager and the other characters uncover the truth behind them, that simple idea quickly falls apart. Titans are far more varied, and far more dangerous, than they initially appear.<\/p>\n

What makes the series’ Titan lore so interesting is how each type adds another layer to its world. Some are nearly mindless creatures driven by instinct, while others possess specialized abilities that can completely change the course of a battle. By the time Attack on Titan reaches its conclusion, the Titans have become key to everything from warfare and inherited memories to the fate of humanity itself. Here are all 11 major Titan types explained.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n The Pure Titans

Pure Titans resemble humans but with varying levels of enlarged forms. The majority of the observed Titans, both in the manga and the anime, belong to this category, their overarching feature being their inability to form and process thoughts.<\/p>\n

Despite being made similarly to other Titan types, Pure Titans are mindless and tend to attack without discrimination. They are dangerous due to their sheer numbers, formidable strength, and enormous size. Pure Titans have been used as weapons of war, first by Eldia and then by Marley, and can only be killed by slashing the nape of their neck.<\/p>\n

A notable example of a Pure Titan would be the humanoid dubbed Bean, who first appeared when the gates of Trost District were broken by Attack on Titan’s<\/em> epic Colossal Titan.<\/p>\n

Bean was one of the two Titans kept alive for the sake of experimentation in an attempt to better understand the nature of these beasts and their innate weaknesses.<\/p>\n

\n The Abnormal Titans

The Abnormal Titans are one of the most bizarre Titan types. Abnormals are Pure Titans that display unusual behavior and intelligence, allowing them to perform unpredictable moves. They often tend to ignore nearby humans and move on to strategic locations to inflict more damage.<\/p>\n

Abnormals are adept at performing tremendous leaps, running, speed-walking, and in a few cases, communicating in human tongues. An Abnormal Titan\u2019s ability to form thoughts and speech has been chronicled in the diary of Ilse Langnar, who had run into a hesitant Titan amid an expedition massacre.<\/p>\n

After Hange Zo\u00eb and Levi\u2019s squad find the diary, it is revealed that the Titan addressed Ilse as \u201cLady Ymir\u201d, mistaking her for Attack on Titan’s<\/em> Founder, Ymir Fritz.<\/p>\n

Confused by the possibility that a Titan can experience emotions, Ilse became increasingly frustrated during her attempts at communication, ending with the Titan crushing her skull whilst shedding tears. The existence of the Abnormal Titans forces humans to approach the beasts with a more nuanced perspective. This revelation proved to the remaining soldiers that not all Titans are mindless killers.<\/p>\n

\"Eren\n <\/picture>

As the name suggests, the Attack Titan is an offensive powerhouse, standing at 15 meters tall and characterized by a highly muscular build and flesh-less jaws.<\/p>\n

Eren Yaeger would later improve the Attack Titan\u2019s metrics by drinking the Armor serum that allowed him to harden the Titan\u2019s skin during pivotal moments.<\/p>\n

As his default Titan Form, Eren was able to receive memories from those who possessed the Attack Titan and those who had yet to inherit it. This would later come to help him manipulate his father, Grisha, to cause his own Titan creation subsequently.<\/p>\n

Although these memories allow the user to gain insights, they are often incomplete and short snippets.<\/p>\n

\n The Armored Titan

Reiner Braun\u2019s Armored Titan stands at 15 meters and was initially inspired to share a \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bresemblance to WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar.<\/p>\n

The Armored Titan has thick, hardened plates all over its body, acting as a natural defense against external attacks, including cannon hits, steel blades, and vertical maneuvering equipment, making it the most defensively strong of the Titan types.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, these Attack on Titan<\/em> Titans are able to harden their arms and feet, creating sharp claws in the process. The Armored Titan’s only weakness seems to be the areas on the back of its exposed joints.<\/p>\n

The armor is not capable of withstanding high-power weaponry, such as the Mid-East Allied Forces\u2019 artillery.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n The Colossal Titan
\n <\/h2>\n
\n

Users of the largest <\/em>Titan type, the Colossal Titan, can control the energy produced during their transformation to create various effects, such as when Bertolt attacks the Trost District, and his transformation triggers a powerful wind blast.<\/p>\n

The Colossal Titan can also create a mushroom cloud of dust and rubble, leading to the death of many Survey Corps members during the Battle of Shiganshina District. As indicated by its name, the Colossal Titan is known for its enormous size, able to peer over the edge of Wall Mari and powerful enough to take down the outer gate with a single kick.<\/p>\n
