the 9th titan Is actually a winged titan. which makes perfect sense when you consider the marley downfall right now is how they can only rely on titans on land and their forces are weakening because of that. yet the 9th titan is residing inside the paradis walls.

you can thank me later I support the theory that  the 9th titan is a ”Winged Titan” based on the Jean Kirschtein's side story in animated Attack on Titan OVA.

In that story> During another omni-directional gear trainings in Trost district under the aegis of Commander Dot Pyxis, Jean Kirschtein and Sasha Braus got into a quarrel. Dot Pyxis announced a food contest for the resolve. Team Sasha have prepared a wild giant boar's meat from the local forest.

When Comm. Pyxis took a bite from that cooked meat he had a Psychedelic trip where he was fighting against cadets from 104th (Conny Springer, Historia Reiss, Armin Arlelt, Jean Kirschtein and Mikasa Ackermann). Cadets engaged by shifting into their titan forms as it goes: Conny Springer - 3m class Titan; Historia Reiss - 10m class "Winged Titan" (assumed 9th unseen titan); Armin Arlelt - 5m class titan (as we have seen him after serum injection in original manga); Jean Kirschtein - 7 class titan; Mikasa Ackermann - 14m class "Attack Titan" (asumption made by comparing her titan muscular structure to other Attack Titans).

It may be just a product of comm. Pyxie's eccentric personality deliberate imagination(that means nothing of that is really meant to be carryed about) But also it may be an insight or easter egg from the author.

I'm not an expert and my resolve may feel poor for some of you but here is what I think:

It seems legit that the 9th Titan is somewhere on the Paradise Island and its an airborn Titan, also that Marleyan comanders know nothing about that, because on their conference they mention that Titans are exclusevely an on-land threat and if they would conquer the skyes the battle would be as won. It makes sense that the 9th Titan will bring itself up in more appropiate to final battle series, and it will play a key role along The Founding and the Collosal Titans in that decisive battle betwen Eldians from the Paradise Island and Marley people.
