The Beast Titan (獣の巨人) is a Titan Shifter that was first seen within Wall Rose during its supposed breach.

Human Form
In his human form, he has a well toned body, shaggy blonde hair and a matching moustache that transcends down into his beard. He was seen wearing no shirt, loose pants, combat boots, and circular glasses. He has a large scar running down his left arm.

Titan Form
In his Titan form, he is an extremely unusual specimen, having a distinct, ape-like appearance. His body structure and facial features are like that of a human's, he walks upright like one also. He stands at a previously unseen 17 meters in height. Dark fur covers the large majority of his body, with the exception of his face, hands, feet, and torso. His arms are also elongated, with long fingers and fully-functional thumbs. The proportions of his upper body are similar to that of the Colossal Titan, possessing a massive chest and small head, as well as unusually slim arms.

Clash of the Titans arc
The Beast Titan makes his first appearance when Titans are mysteriously appearing within Wall Rose even though the Wall remains intact. He is encountered by Mike Zacharius, who instantly notes the strangeness of his characteristics. He then displays an unexpected behavior when he grabs Mike's horse and launches it at him, preventing his escape and throwing him from the roof he was on.

After Mike falls to the mouth of a Titan, the Beast Titan speaks, ordering the other Titans to not eat him so that he can question Mike about the 3D Maneuver Gear. However, the Titan disobeys him and the Beast Titan crushes its head to release Mike.

The Beast Titan then proceeds to interrogate Mike, but as he neglects to respond out of shock, he theorizes that Mike does not speak due to them not speaking the same language, or Mike being too afraid. After inspecting the gear, he allows the surrounding Titans to devour Mike. As Mike screams in horror, the Beast Titan is amused to see that they did actually speak the same language after all.

He next appears walking past Castle Utgard, seemingly ignoring those taking refuge within. Instead, he uses his incredible strength to scale Wall Rose and then disappears.

As the soldiers manage to fend off an attack, he suddenly turns his attention towards them. He begins to break off chunks of the Wall, hurling them long distances at the members of the Survey Corps trapped in Castle Utgard. The first shot kills their horses, and the second kills Lynne and Henning.

He then howls, summoning more Titans to continue the assault on the castle. Nanaba angrily notes that he seems to be intentionally toying with them. Afterwards, he climbs over the Wall and disappears into the lost territory of Wall Maria.

When Ymir and Eren are kidnapped by Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover, Ymir states that the Beast Titan is directly responsible for the appearance of Titans within Wall Rose; possibly in order to "test" humanity's strength. She also notes that the reaction of Reiner and Bertolt to his appearance resembled gawking, excited children. She theorizes that locating him must be one of their primary goals and that it is key for them to return to their village.

The Uprising arc
In the aftermath of Eren's failed kidnapping, an investigation is performed at the village of Ragako. The investigation confirms the suspicion that the villagers had been transformed into Titans, though the methods employed by the Beast Titan remain undisclosed.

Two months after Historia Reiss is crowned queen, the Beast Titan is shown in Shiganshina District alongside Bertolt and a beaten down Reiner in his Titan form. Having previously made a deal where the winner of a fight gets to decide mission priority, The Beast Titan declares to Bertolt that, due to his victory, Annie's rescue would be postponed in favor of obtaining the Coordinate. He then reveals his plan to wait and ambush the Survey Corps in Shiganshina when they eventually come.

Abilities
Unlike other Titan Shifters, he is able to fluently speak without issue in his Titan form, casually talking to other Titans and even giving them orders. He possesses great physical strength, sufficient enough to pick up a horse or even break off large chunks from Wall Rose and hurl them at a great distance away. He also seems very skilful because it managed to retrieve Mike's Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear without damaging him or the gear.

He is revealed to possess some unknown means to transform humans into Titans. These Titans, unlike the regular Titans encountered, were capable of functioning at night. As many houses showed signs of the transformations taking place indoors, it does not appear that immediate physical contact is required to cause a transformation.

He seems to be a very formidable fighter, since he was able to not only defeat the Armored Titan, but deal considerable damage to his armor without sustaining any visible injury.
