## Overview

The **Jaw Titan** (顎の巨人 *Agito no Kyojin*?) is one of the Nine Titans with a ferociously powerful set of jaws and claws that are able to tear through almost anything. It is also known as the swiftest Titan of all due to its small size. It is currently in the possession of Cozy Glow

## Abilites

### Speed and agility

Those who hold the power of the Jaw Titan demonstrate significant amounts of speed and agility in their Titan form. They can even move fast enough to catch another one of the Nine Titans off guard. Though the Jaw Titan is relatively small and weak, its mobility excels in terrain such as Titan Forests.

### Crushing Strength

The Jaw Titan also possesses, as its name implies, an incredible biting and crushing strength in its jaws and claws which can be used with devastating efficiency against both Titans and man-made structures. Its claws are strong enough to cause severe damage to armored opponents such as turrets and even the harden plates of the Armored Titan.

## Cozy Glow's Abilites

Due to the influence of the Beast Titan's spinal fluid taken from Zeke Yeager, Cozy Glow's Jaw Titan is able to take on characteristics found in birds.

### Flight

Similar to a previous incarnation of the Beast Titan, Cozy Glow's Jaw Titan is able to sprout wings and a tail which allows it to take flight while carrying multiple people on its body.

## History

The Jaw Titan, like all of the Nine Titans, was brought into the world after the death of Ymir Fritz. In the 1,700 years following her death, the Jaw 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 Jaw Titan was taken by the nation of Marley during the Great Titan War.

Around the year 843, Marcel Galliard was chosen to inherit the power of the Jaw Titan. He would later make use of his Titan form during a war between Marley and an enemy nation, using his Jaw Titan to destroy the enemy's artillery guns.

In the year 845, the nation of Marley sent out Marcel, Reiner Braun, Bertolt Hoover, and Annie Leonhart across the ocean to Paradis Island as the start of the Paradis Island Operation. However, at some point before the attack on Shiganshina District, a Titan approached Reiner and nearly had him in its grasp until Marcel moved him away to safety. Marcel was caught in Reiner's place, and he was eaten alive as his comrades escaped. The Titan inherited Marcel's Jaw power and regained its human form: an Eldian girl named Ymir, who had been wandering as a Titan for around sixty years.

Choosing to start a new life for herself, Ymir made her way into humanity's territory and began living as a thief in the interior territories of the Walls. At this time, she overheard the story of "Krista Lenz" from members of the Church of the Walls and her plans to join the 104th Training Corps. Desiring to meet her for political and personal reasons, Ymir joined the Training Corps in the same year as Krista.

At some point during their training, Ymir and Krista faced difficulties escorting a sick trainee to shelter in harsh winter conditions. Wanting to see Krista survive, she sent her off to the shelter alone and used the Jaw Titan to bring their fellow trainee to safety at the base of a cliff side. Krista wondered at how Ymir could have possibly reached the shelter before her. Ymir agreed to tell her secret to Krista under the condition that when the secret of her Titan power was publicly known, Krista would go back to living under her true name.

## Story

### Clash of the Titans arc

During the Wall Rose invasion in the year 850, Ymir is among the recruits of the Survey Corps when they are cornered by Titans at Utgard Castle. Seeing no hope for escape, Ymir chooses to make use of her Titan form to confront the Titans. Transforming before her friends' eyes, she battles the Titans at the base of the castle as the others comprehend the revelation of her powers. Reiner and Bertolt recognize her Titan as the one that ate their fellow warrior, Marcel Galliard five years ago, and determine that they must capture her along with Eren when the time comes. When Ymir begins to struggle, Krista offers her encouragement. Ymir's Jaw Titan ascends the castle and saves the others from its collapse. When the dust settles, Ymir's fatigued Titan is unable to continue fighting against the Titans, but her life is saved by the arrival of the Survey Corps soldiers from the Stohess District raid. She is safely extracted from her Titan, and Krista reveals her true name as Historia Reiss.

Shortly afterward, when Bertolt and Reiner reveal their identities as the Colossal and Armored Titans, Ymir is taken by the two Warriors along with Eren. After some questioning, Ymir agrees to cooperate with them in order to capture Historia. When the Survey Corps finds their location, she takes Historia into her Titan's mouth and escapes with Bertolt and the Armored Titan out of the Titan Forest.

Ymir remains within her Titan form throughout the escape, taking a moment early on to partially expose her human form in the nape in order to speak with Historia. Ymir abandons the Armored Titan when it is swarmed by a horde of Titans lured by Commander Erwin Smith and assists the Survey Corps for a short time, but upon seeing Eren's use of the Founding Titan during the battle Ymir chooses to go with Reiner and Bertolt rather than staying with the Eldians of the Walls. After the battle, Ymir escapes with Bertolt and the Armored Titan to the ruins of Shiganshina District.
