Titans are giant, humanlike creatures that eat people, and the fear of them keeps humanity behind three enormous Walls. The Nine Titans are different: each is a power that passes from one human holder to the next, with its own form and abilities. Below, find each one's holders, height and powers, meet the other Titans of the series and vote for the one you think is the strongest.
Spoiler warning: this page names the holder of every Titan, including reveals from the final season.

A Pure Titan with a wide, frozen grin, it storms Shiganshina in the very first episode and becomes the Titan Eren hates above all others. Who it once was stays a mystery until much later in the story.
When Rod Reiss turns into a Titan, he becomes an Abnormal about 120 meters long whose thin limbs cannot lift it, so it crawls along the ground face down. It gives off so much heat that trees burst into flames as it passes.
Countless Colossal-type Titans, each about 50 meters tall, stand shoulder to shoulder inside Wall Maria, Wall Rose and Wall Sina, locked in place by hardened skin. Their existence comes to light when a piece of Wall Sina breaks away and reveals a giant face.
Usually 2 to 15 meters tall, Pure Titans are mindless giants that roam the land and walk straight toward any human they sense. They heal from almost any wound, so the only sure way to kill one is a deep cut across the nape of the neck.
Abnormals are Pure Titans that break the usual pattern: some ignore nearby soldiers, while others sprint, leap or head straight for a crowd. That unpredictability makes them some of the most dangerous Titans to meet on an expedition.

They are the Founding, Attack, Colossal, Armored, Female, Beast, Jaw, Cart and War Hammer Titans, nine powers that split from the first Titan, Ymir Fritz. Each one passes from holder to holder among the Subjects of Ymir, and its holder can turn into that Titan at will.
The Founding Titan is usually named first, since it can bend other Titans to its will. In a straight fight the answer is far less clear, with the Colossal Titan's size, the Armored Titan's defense and the War Hammer Titan's weapons all in the running, so cast your vote on this page.
The Colossal Titan is 60 meters tall, about 10 meters taller than the 50-meter Walls, so its head rises above Wall Maria in episode 1.
The Female Titan's holder is Annie Leonhart, who graduates fourth in the 104th Cadet Corps and joins the Military Police. In Titan form she fights with the same martial arts she shows in training.
Zeke Yeager holds the Beast Titan and serves as the war chief of Marley's Warriors. Before him, the power belonged to Tom Xaver, whose Beast Titan had the horns of a bighorn sheep instead of an ape's body.
It is the Titan that rules the others: with a scream, its holder can command Pure Titans and change what the Subjects of Ymir remember. King Karl Fritz used it to raise the three Walls, and his royal line kept it hidden inside them for generations.
A Subject of Ymir is turned into a Pure Titan and eats the current holder, or at least swallows their spinal fluid, then turns back into a human with the new power. If a holder dies before passing it on, the power goes to a Subject of Ymir born after their death.
They are the mindless Titans that wander outside the Walls and devour any human they find. Every one of them was once a Subject of Ymir, turned into a Titan by Titan spinal fluid.
