Beast Titan

*The Beast Titan is the same as ever. It's a bit larger than the others, but that's far from all. Its **pitching assault** is an unprecedented, awe-inspiring weapon.*

## Overview

The **Beast Titan** (獣の巨人 *Kemono no Kyojin*?) The **Beast Titan** (獣の巨人 *Kemono no Kyojin*?) is one of the Nine Titans. It is slightly larger than most Titans and takes on an animal-like appearance. It is currently in the posseion of Historia Reiss.

## Abilites

### Animal traits

Unlike the majority of other Titans, which retain a largely "human" appearance, the Beast Titan exhibits certain animal-like traits, which may vary depending on its holders: apes; birds; crocodiles; elk; bulls; wolves; snakes; rabbits; dinosaurs; okapis; goat. Zeke Yeager's Beast Titan looked like an ape and Tom Ksaver's contained traits found in bighorn sheep, while Cozy Glow testifies that there once existed a Beast Titan with wings. Furthermore, Zeke's spinal fluid, which carried the power of the Beast Titan, was used to transform Cozy Glow into a Titan and evidently gave her Jaw Titan falcon-like characteristics similar to those of a Beast Titan.

## Zeke Yeager's abilities

Zeke Yeager's Beast Titan had unique abilities that no other known Beast Titan had, thanks to his royal blood and throwing experience. The nature of its power was similar to that of the Founding Titan.

### Titan creation

With his royal blood, one of the most perilous attributes of Zeke's Beast Titan was the ability to turn Subjects of Ymir into Titans. If a person was given Zeke's spinal fluid, Zeke was able to transform him/her with a roar, much like the scream-based abilities of the Founding Titan and the Female Titan. This ability could be used to devastating effect on the unsuspecting, such as the initiation of the Wall Rose invasion after the residents of Ragako were turned into Titans with the Beast Titan's power, as well as the time when the Marleyan military made use of this power to drop Titans onto Fort Slava in an airstrike. According to Niccolo, it was a common tactic for Marley to cause Pure Titans to overrun an area by sneaking in a few hundred specially prepared Eldians and having Zeke use this power to transform them. However, there was a limited range to his scream.

### Titan control

Zeke's Beast Titan was able to exercise some control over Pure Titans that he created through his screams. Zeke's Beast Titan was able to direct the actions of Pure Titans and could command them to move, resist the urge to eat humans, and stay in place. Titans under Zeke's control were even able to function using only moonlight without falling into fatigue. However, this ability was evidently imperfect; some Titans could somewhat ignore Zeke's Beast Titan's orders.

### Hardening

During the brief battle with Levi, the Beast Titan attempts to harden its nape; however, Levi cuts the Beast Titan down before it could harden.[5] The Beast Titan would later harden its nape during the rematch, but several Thunder Spears shattered it.

### Powerful Throwing

Zeke Yeager's ape-like Beast Titan possessed a devastating ability to throw objects with great accuracy and immense destructive capability.[2] Titan during the first battle against Grogar in Ponyville, and the battle against the Lynch King.

## History

The Beast Titan, like all the Nine Titans, was brought into the world after the death of Ymir Fritz. In the 1,700 years following her death, the Beast Titan was held in the possession of one or several of the warring Eldian houses subservient to the Founding Titan. After these seventeen centuries when Karl Fritz, the 145th King of the Fritz family, abandoned the conflicts of Eldia and relocated to Paradis Island, the Beast Titan was taken by the nation of Marley during the Great Titan War.[14][15]

In 829, Tom Ksaver inherited the Beast Titan in order to research the Titan's memories. During his tenure, the Beast Titan would often stay in Marley as Tom claimed he was not too useful in war.[16]

After 13 years, Zeke Yeager would inherit the power of the Beast Titan from Tom Ksaver. Over a year later, after the other Warriors had inherited their Titans, Zeke made use of his Titan form in a war between Marley and an enemy nation, using his Beast Titan to slaughter retreating soldiers in the battle.[2]

When the time came for the Paradis Island Operation, Zeke's Beast Titan was chosen to stay behind in Marley as deterrence against enemy forces.

## Story

### Return of the Changelings arc

The Beast Titan first appeared in the episode Viva Las Pegasus. After Gladmire lost everything, he ran into the woods where he encountered the Beast Titan. The Beast Titan spoke to Gladmire and asked if he needed help. Gladmire told Zeke that he wanted revenge on Applejack, Fluttershy, and Bertholdt. The Beast Titan seemed satisfied with that answer and began to walk away. Gladmire was confused, and also began to walk away, but before he could get far, Zeke ordered a horde of Titans hiding in the trees to Kill Gladmire, which they do. The Beast Titan listens to Gladmire's Screams before walking away, and remarking how things are just getting started.
