The Titan Type and Ability Generator for Attack on Titan rolls a fresh titan for your story, campaign, or fan project. Each result gives you a class (Pure, Abnormal, or Shifter), a height, a body silhouette, a movement style, and a signature ability such as hardening, crystallisation, scream control, or a stranger inheritance. Use it to invent threats for the Survey Corps, design original Nine successors, or stock a tabletop session with monsters that feel like they belong inside the walls of Paradis.

Build titans that feel like they belong in Paradis
The titans in Attack on Titan work because each one has a clear silhouette and one cruel idea. This generator follows the same rule. It picks a class first, then a body shape that suggests a behaviour, then a single standout ability so the threat reads quickly on the page or at the table. You get something a squad leader can describe in two sentences before the gas runs out.
What each titan includes
Class: Pure, Abnormal, or Shifter, with a short note on origin.
Height in metres, from a three metre crawler to a fifteen metre line breaker.
Body traits: proportions, jaw shape, gait, and any unsettling features.
Movement pattern: lumbering, sprinting, climbing, or something worse.
Signature ability: hardening, steam jets, screams, swarming, or an original power for Shifters.
Using the results in your story
For a Survey Corps mission, roll three Pure Titans and one Abnormal, then place them around a single objective such as a supply cart or a wounded scout. For a Shifter, treat the ability as a problem the squad cannot solve with blades alone; force them to think, retreat, or sacrifice. If you are writing original Nine Titans, give the inheritor a personal cost that mirrors the power, the way the Jaw demands speed and the Cart demands endurance.
Tips for memorable titan design
Pick one feature that breaks the human silhouette and lean into it, whether that is a permanent grin, missing arms, or a spine that bends the wrong way. Decide how the titan reacts to ODM gear, smoke, and thunder spears before the fight starts. Give Shifters a tell, a habit their human form keeps even in titan shape. Finish by writing the line a soldier shouts when they first see it. If that line lands, your titan is ready.
