Naw the mule is Annie's Dad

1)He was so dedicated to the Warrior's mission that he hashly trained his own daughter since infancy to aid them so it makes sense that he would be devoted to Zeke

2)He was too old to be considered an valid option himself but wanted to be usefull to Zeke on the mission and was actually worried for Annie so Zeke gave him a weak titan form

3)Zeke is familiar with Annie's kicks, maybe because her dad entusiasticaly talked to him about them

4)The nose

...or he's simply a better version of the Talking Titan thanks to Zeke
