Jaw Titan

"The Jaw Titan is an assault unit. Its small size makes it the swiftest of all. Its powerful claws and jaws can crush just about anything."

- A Marleyan analysis of Marcel's Jaw Titan

The Jaw Titan (顎の巨人) is one of the Nine Titans with a ferociously powerful set of jaws and claws that are able to tear through almost anything. It is also known as the swiftest Titan of all due to its small size. It is currently in the possession of Falco Grice.

Speed and agility
Those who hold the power of the Jaw Titan demonstrate significant amounts of speed and agility in their Titan form. They can even move fast enough to catch another one of the Nine Titans off guard. Though the Jaw Titan is relatively small and weak, its mobility excels in terrain such as Titan Forests.

Crushing strength
The Jaw Titan also possesses, as its name implies, an incredible biting and crushing strength in its jaws and claws which can be used with devastating efficiency against both Titans and man-made structures. Its claws are strong enough to cause severe damage to armored opponents such as turrets and even the crystal shell created by the War Hammer Titan. The force of its jaws is shown to be strong enough to chew through the hardened Titan armor generated by Eren Yeager as well as the aforementioned crystal shell surrounding the War Hammer Titan, something not even the Attack Titan was able to achieve.

Falco Grice's Abilities
Due to the influence of the Beast Titan's spinal fluid taken from Zeke Yeager, Falco's Jaw Titan is able to take on characteristics found in avian birds.

Flight
Similar to a previous incarnation of the Beast Titan, Falco's Jaw Titan is able sprout wings which allows it to take flight while carrying multiple people on its body.

History
The Jaw Titan, like all of the Nine Titans, was brought into the world after the death of Ymir Fritz. In the 1,700 years following her death, the Jaw Titan was held in the possession of one or several of the warring Eldian houses subservient to the Founding Titan. After these seventeen centuries when Karl Fritz, the 145th King of the Fritz family, abandoned the conflicts of Eldia and relocated to Paradis Island, the Jaw Titan was taken by the nation of Marley during the Great Titan War.

Around the year 843, Marcel Galliard was chosen to inherit the power of the Jaw Titan. He would later make use of his Titan form during a war between Marley and an enemy nation, using his Jaw Titan to destroy the enemy's artillery guns.

In the year 845, the nation of Marley sent out Marcel, Reiner Braun, Bertolt Hoover, and Annie Leonhart across the ocean to Paradis Island as the start of the Paradis Island Operation. However, at some point before the attack on Shiganshina District, a Titan approached Reiner and nearly had him in its grasp until Marcel moved him away to safety. Marcel was caught in Reiner's place, and he was eaten alive as his comrades escaped. The Titan inherited Marcel's Jaw power and regained its human form: an Eldian girl named Ymir, who had been wandering as a Titan for around sixty years.

Choosing to start a new life for herself, Ymir made her way into humanity's territory and began living as a thief in the interior territories of the Walls. At this time, she overheard the story of "Krista Lenz" from members of the Church of the Walls and her plans to join the 104th Training Corps. Desiring to meet her for political and personal reasons, Ymir joined the Training Corps in the same year as Krista.

At some point during their training, Ymir and Krista faced difficulties escorting a sick trainee to shelter in harsh winter conditions. Wanting to see Krista survive, she sent her off to the shelter alone and used the Jaw Titan to bring their fellow trainee to safety at the base of a cliff side. Krista wondered at how Ymir could have possibly reached the shelter before her. Ymir agreed to tell her secret to Krista under the condition that when the secret of her Titan power was publicly known, Krista would go back to living under her true name.

Clash of the Titans arc
During the Wall Rose invasion in the year 850, Ymir is among the recruits of the Survey Corps when they are cornered by Titans at Utgard Castle. Seeing no hope for escape, Ymir chooses to make use of her Titan form to confront the Titans. Transforming before her friends' eyes, she battles the Titans at the base of the castle as the others comprehend the revelation of her powers. Reiner and Bertolt recognize her Titan as the one that ate their fellow warrior, Marcel Galliard five years ago, and determine that they must capture her along with Eren when the time comes. When Ymir begins to struggle, Krista offers her encouragement. Ymir's Jaw Titan ascends the castle and saves the others from its collapse. When the dust settles, Ymir's fatigued Titan is unable to continue fighting against the Titans, but her life is saved by the arrival of the Survey Corps soldiers from the Stohess District raid. She is safely extracted from her Titan, and Krista reveals her true name as Historia Reiss.

Shortly afterward, when Bertolt and Reiner reveal their identities as the Colossus and Armored Titans, Ymir is taken by the two Warriors along with Eren. After some questioning, Ymir agrees to cooperate with them in order to capture Historia. When the Survey Corps finds their location, she takes Historia into her Titan's mouth and escapes with Bertolt and the Armored Titan out of the Titan Forest.

Ymir remains within her Titan form throughout the escape, taking a moment early on to partially expose her human form in the nape in order to speak with Historia. Ymir abandons the Armored Titan when it is swarmed by a horde of Titans lured by Commander Erwin Smith and assists the Survey Corps for a short time, but upon seeing Eren's use of the Founding Titan during the battle Ymir chooses to go with Reiner and Bertolt rather than staying with the Eldians of the Walls. After the battle, Ymir escapes with Bertolt and the Armored Titan to the ruins of Shiganshina District.

Marley arc
During the two months afterward, Ymir is sent to Marley. At some point before or during the year 854, Porco Galliard, Marcel's brother, is chosen to inherit the power of the Jaw Titan from Ymir.

At the climax of the Marley Mid-East War during the battle of Fort Slava, Galliard is present in the trenches dug by the Marleyan Warrior Unit surrounding the fort. Cadet Colt Grice suggests making use of Galliard's Jaw Titan and Pieck's Cart Titan against the defenses of the Mid-East Allied Forces, but Commander Magath rejects the proposal due to the presence of anti-Titan artillery patrolling the perimeter of the fortress. However, once cadet Gabi Braun destroys the armored train carrying the artillery using explosives, Galliard is sent out onto the battlefield. His Titan proves to be more than enough to defend against the turret-fire from the bunkers surrounding Fort Slava, and Galliard's Titan makes quick work of Marley's enemies.

Galliard's attack on the Mid-East defenses is met with support from the 800-Warrior Unit and Pieck's Cart Titan in full battle armor. Using the immense strength of his Titan's jaws, Galliard rips the railways from the ground, ensuring a complete immobilization of the Allies' defenses. Shortly afterward, Galliard retreats as Zeke Yeager begins a Titan airstrike directly above the fortress, dropping dozens of Pure Titans onto the Allies. When Reiner Braun joins the fight as the Armored Titan, Galliard assists him in destroying the remaining anti-Titan artillery stationed within the ruined fortress.

Over a month later, the Jaw Titan returns during the Raid on Liberio when the Attack Titan makes a sudden appearance and begins a massacre. The Jaw Titan swings onto the Attack Titan's back, attempting to bite into the nape to take the Founding Titan, but its jaw muscles are sliced by Levi Ackerman before the nape could be bitten through. The Attack Titan throws Jaws into the nearby building, where the Survey Corps surrounds it in preparation for battle. The Cart and Beast Titans soon join the Jaw Titan in the plaza, and the Warriors prepare to battle the Eldians of Paradis Island.

Observing the movements of the enemy's maneuvering equipment, the Jaw Titan leaps up from a building as an enemy soldier appears flying above the Cart Titan ready to launch a Thunder Spear, and slaughters the soldier mid-air. After the Attack Titan transforms once more, the Jaw Titan charges it, but is intercepted by Mikasa Ackerman, who the Jaw Titan then engages.

Enraged by the Colossus Titan's transformation at the port, the Jaw Titan goes after the Attack Titan again, and rakes the side of its face and inadvertently grazes the crystal surrounding the inheritor of the War Hammer Titan. It retreats after a quick flurry of strikes back to the husk of the War Hammer Titan.

The Jaw Titan spots an incoming airship that serves as the method of escape for the Survey Corps. It then goes to bring it down but is caught off balance due to Mikasa slashing its legs and severing one of its feet.

Crashing next to the Attack Titan, the Jaw Titan is further rendered helpless by getting both of its arms torn off. Then the crystal is jammed into its mouth and the Jaw Titan is unable to stop the Attack Titan from applying enough pressure to shatter the crystal, killing the inheritor of the War Hammer Titan. It is then knocked unconscious and about to be eaten by the Attack Titan, but is saved by the arrival of Reiner and his partially formed Armored Titan.

War for Paradis arc
From inside a military headquarters in Shiganshina District, Galliard takes his Jaw Titan form after Pieck leads Eren Yeager onto the roof. Bursting through the building from beneath Eren's position, the Jaw Titan fails to fully devour its target, with Eren subsequently transforming. The Jaw Titan shields Pieck and Gabi from the resulting debris, whilst preparing to engage its foe. The two square off with each other and trade blows while Pieck and Gabi get a safe distance away.

Pieck then calls out and gets the Jaw Titan's attention by holding out her shackled wrist. Galliard understands and amputates Pieck's hand at the wrist, freeing them to escape from the rooftop. The Jaw Titan evades the Attack Titan and retreats for the time being. After the Armored Titan joins the battle, the Jaw Titan teams up and the two engage the Attack Titan and fight to a standstill. Then, the Cart Titan is able to snipe the Attack Titan, briefly stunning it. After getting impaled by a set of spikes, the Jaw Titan frees itself and avoids another set of spikes. However, when it tries to attack from behind, the Attack Titan swats the Jaw Titan out of the air and gets sent flying into several buildings. Still out of combat, he witnesses the arrival of the Beast Titan to the battlefield.

The Jaw Titan takes some time to regain its senses before noticing that Reiner has been temporarily taken out of commission by the Attack Titan, which is now approaching Zeke's Beast Titan atop the Wall. It goes to ambush the Attack Titan, but is pelted by numerous Wall fragments thrown by the Beast Titan.

Recovering from the injury, and seeing the Attack Titan heading towards Zeke, the Jaw Titan quickly moves in to bite off the Attack Titan's leg. In response, Eren hardens his hands and strikes the Jaw Titan's neck, damaging Galliard inside and knocking out the Jaw Titan once again.

Seeing Reiner about to be eaten by Falco Grice's Pure Titan, Galliard, who used up the power to heal himself, emerges from his Titan and muses on Reiner's inferiority to himself, before allowing the Titan to devour him, transferring the power of the Jaw Titan to Falco.

After the Armored and Female Titan are overrun by the Yeagerists at the harbor, Falco suggests using the power of his Jaw Titan, however, Pieck disagrees, saying his first transformation will not go well. Despite her reasonings, he thinks about what Galliard would do in his position and disregards his safety along with Pieck's warnings by jumping into the battle. He uses a nail he found from the harbor to transform into the Jaw Titan.

The Jaw Titan and the Cart Titan are easily able to decimate the remaining Yeagerists, but as soon as they are defeated, Falco begins losing control of his Titan. Unable to recognize his allies, the Jaw Titan begins attacking the Survey Corps members and Pieck, who tries to calm him down but to no avail, as he almost completely bites through her Titan's nape using his sharp teeth. She is asked to hold him down by Magath, who cuts him out of his Titan's nape using a blade. Magath then carries Falco's unconscious body to the boat, leaving him with Onyankopon.

After the Warriors and the Survey Corps leave, Falco recalls memories from a previous inheritor of the Beast Titan. Having seen one with wings, he believes that his Titan could do the same. Despite Annie and Gabi's doubts, the Jaw Titan does indeed form wings and Falco flies them towards the Founding Titan, managing to save the Warriors and Survey Corps from the army of Titans they are fighting.
