Armored Titan (Anime)

The Armored Titan (鎧の巨人) is an evidently intelligent Titan and an elusive threat to the human race. It first appeared five years ago during the fall of Wall Maria, but it has not returned since.

Appearance
The Armored Titan is a class and possesses short blond hair and an extremely muscular physique. The Titan's skin is segmented due to its hardness, leaving some bits of red muscle exposed throughout all the key points of movement across the body. The Armored Titan possesses no real lips or mouth, instead having a thick plate of skin across the bottom half of the jaw which can lower to expose the teeth of the Titan.

Abilities
As the name implies, the Armored Titan is covered throughout its body by a thick segmented layer of hardened skin. This armor is hard enough to deflect even a direct cannon shot and also allowed for the Titan to have the force necessary to breach the north gate of Shiganshina District.

The Fall of Shiganshina arc
The Armored Titan first appears in the year 845, shortly after the Colossal Titan first breaches Wall Maria, participating in the attack on Shiganshina district. During the chaos of the initial breach, it enters the city and makes his way across the streets to the interior gate. Once there, it charges towards the gate and smashes through it, allowing Titans to invade Wall Maria. It has not appeared again since that day.
