They really bring some horror into the series.
Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) is not only known for its deep drama and stunning action, but also for absolutely terrifying monsters, Titans. Although they mostly have similar features, there are some that frightened fans the most, and we’d like to remember some of them today.
- Dina’s Titan
Not only did she kill Eren’s mother, scarring both the main protagonists and the audience, she also looked absolutely terrifying while doing that. Her smile became an iconic Attack on Titan image, and there’s barely a fan who can ever forget the horror it inflicted on them.
- Titan that killed Farlan and Isabel
A Choice With No Regrets OVA gave viewers a lot of trauma, and the gruesome deaths of Farlan and Isabel will stay with us forever.
Of course, no one really expected them to survive because there were no signs of them in Attack on Titan before, so it was natural to assume that they’d die. But seeing Isabel’s severed head and half of Farlan’s body hanging from the Titan’s mouth was a bit too much. Levi is not the only one who’ll never forget this image.
- Rod Reiss
Rod Reiss was truly an anomaly. His titan was so huge that it was practically impossible to beat. It was already pretty scary when it was crawling towards the city, but when it managed to stand up and we saw it was missing its face, disgust and horror were everything we could feel.
It’s a good thing the Survey Corps dealt with it fast so that we didn’t have to see it on our screens for long.
- Titan that ate Mike
It’s not that the Titan itself was so horrible. It was ugly, yes, but all titans are, it’s not special.
But the entire scene of Mike’s death left fans completely horrified. No matter how many gruesome deaths there are in Attack on Titan, this one has to be the worst of them all. We just can’t get Mike’s screams out of our heads.
- The Titan that Sasha killed
When Sasha entered the house, she saw an unsettling image: a little girl was just sitting on the floor in horror, while her mother was being eaten alive by a Titan. There was no music, no screams, no other sounds, just the noise of a titan chewing and the old woman’s tired pants.
And it got even more terrifying when Sasha failed to kill the titan at first, and it started chasing her and the girl.
