The Hairy Titan is an unusual Titan that appears within Wall Rose.

Appearance


The Hairy Titan is 17m in stature, larger than the common 15m Titan. While all other Titans seen in the story thus far have been distinctly human in appearance, the Hairy Titan possesses more animal-like features. It has apelike features, and most of its body except for the face and torso is covered in fur.

Abilities
The Hairy Titan possesses numerous abnormal traits. Most notable are its high intelligence and its ability to speak human language. Possibly as a consequence of this, it is capable of controlling other Titans through a combination of verbal orders and physical intimidation.

Additionally, the Hairy Titan possesses the strength to throw heavy projectiles great distances with excellent accuracy, the dexterity to scale the Wall, and the ability to move at night when Titans normally fall dormant.

Story
The Hairy Titan first appears in Ch. 35, when Titans mysteriously appear within Wall Rose even though the Wall remains intact. The Titan displays remarkable intelligence in its encounter with Mike Zakarius. It prevents his escape by killing his horse, speaks the human language, orders other Titans not to eat him so that it can question him about the Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear, and takes the gear for investigation when Mike refuses to respond to it.

In Ch. 38, the Hairy Titan walks past Castle Utgard and climbs Wall Sina.

In Ch. 39, the Hairy Titan breaks off chunks of Wall Sina and throws them like missiles at the Scouting Legion members trapped in Castle Utgard. The first shot kills their horses, while the second kills Rene and Henning.
