Nine Titans (Anime)

"Upon her death, Ymir's spirit was split into the Nine Titans who formed the Eldian Empire."

- Grisha's father

The Nine Titans (九つの巨人) are nine Titan powers that have been passed down through the Eldian people for nearly 2,000 years after Ymir Fritz's death, each of them having their own name. The eight currently known Titans are the Founding Titan, Colossal Titan, the Female Titan, the Beast Titan, the Armored Titan, the Attack Titan, Ymir's Titan, and the Cart Titan.

Abilities

 * The Founding Titan (始祖の巨人) has the ability to control Titans with its screams. Its screams can affect humans as well, altering their memories, but certain bloodlines are unaffected. Only members of the Reiss family can use its abilities.
 * The Attack Titan (進撃の巨人) is said to always move ahead seeking and fighting for freedom. However, with no known unique abilities.
 * The Colossal Titan (超大型巨人) is enormous and can evaporate its body to release immense amounts of steam.
 * The Armored Titan (鎧の巨人) is covered by hardened armor-like skin, except in key areas necessary for movement.
 * The Female Titan (女型の巨人) has significant fighting potential and can attract nearby Pure Titans by screaming.
 * The Beast Titan (獣の巨人) is able to turn humans into Titans and can control them to a rough extent.
 * Ymir's Titan (ユミルの巨人) is small, fast, and agile; it is also equipped with strong teeth and claws capable of dealing great damage.
 * The Cart Titan (車力の巨人) is small in size with a quadrupedal stance, allowing for cargo and equipment to be carried on its back. It also possesses great speed.

Physiology
The height among the intelligent Titans varies greatly, ranging from the 5 meters of Ymir's Titan to the 60 meters of Bertholdt's Colossal Titan. Many of them however range around 15 meters.

Some of the Titans have been shown to possess the ability to harden. The Armored Titan is particularly skilled at this, being able to naturally harden its entire body. It can also control the areas of hardening, removing armor for additional mobility. The Female Titan is also capable of hardening. Annie is able to selectively harden regions of her Titan and even create a protective layer around her human body. The Attack Titan does not to have this as an innate ability, but it can still be gained through specialized serums, such as the case with Eren. Zeke's Beast Titan can also harden parts of itself.

Trivia

 * Many transformed Titan forms are modeled after mixed martial artists. For instance, the Armored Titan is modeled after and Eren's Titan is modeled after.
