The first fact, abnormal titans have high intelligence compared to normal titans in general.

While normal titans just wander aimlessly and eat humans who approach them, abnormal titans can do unexpected things.

For example, during the assault on Wall Rose, there was an incident where residents were trapped and crowded at the exit gate.

Suddenly, an abnormal titan ran quickly towards the crowd. Instead of eating the troops that tried to approach it, the abnormal titan ignored them and chose the humans with the most numbers.

With this incident, we can conclude that abnormal titans can use their intelligence to gain advantages in certain situations.

Unpredictable Behavior

Another fact is that abnormal titans often make movements that are difficult to predict.

For example, when a team group Eren Yeager trying to prevent the group of titans from entering the residential area, one of the abnormal titans suddenly jumped and ate Eren's friend while maneuvering with the 3D gear.

Of course, this behavior makes them more difficult to deal with compared to regular titans who tend to move slowly and stiffly.

Strange Form

In addition to having unpredictable intelligence and behavior, abnormal titans also sometimes have strange forms.

If you notice, Rod Reiss' transformation into a titan is considered an abnormal titan. This is because his body size is too big, so he has to crawl when walking.

As a result, the face of the abnormal titan became irregular because it was eroded by the ground it passed over.

In theory, the transformation of a human into a titan could be triggered by the titan's spinal fluid. Zeke which is injected or drunk by the human. Then, they will turn into titans when Zeke shouts loudly.

In one case, Zeke once spread gas containing a mixture of his spine to turn villagers into titans. At that time, Mrs. Connie also fell victim to the incident and turned into an abnormal, imperfect titan.

According to some fans, this happened because he inhaled a very small amount of gas. So, his transformation was not perfect and he still had a little memory to recognize his daughter, Connie.

In an OVA (Original Video Animation) entitled Attack on Titan: Ilse's Notebook, you can find an abnormal titan that can talk like a titan shifter (talking titan).

The abnormal titan was once a human who greatly worshipped Ymir. Caught red-handed by the Marleyan army, he was eventually transformed into a titan.

When meeting Ilsa, the abnormal titan thought Ilsa was Ymir because of the similarity of her short black hair. Finally, the abnormal titan prostrated himself while uttering words of praise.

Not long after the incident, Ilsa finally experienced a tragic fate by dying at the hands of the titan.

In addition to the talking titan, Connie's mother, who was a victim of the titan mass transformation, can also speak when welcoming Connie to the village with the word "okaeri" which means "welcome".

In the first season, you can see the face of the abnormal titan smiling with its mouth wide open. Meanwhile, the smiling titan is the form of Dina Fritz of royal blood who was turned into a titan by Marley.

Furthermore, the reason is abnormal because the smiling titan ignores humans nearby and always attacks humans who are in contact with Eren.

When Wall Maria was attacked, the smiling titan killed Carla Yeager, who was Eren's mother. In season two, the smiling titan suddenly appeared and attacked Hannes who was also Eren's closest person.

From the incident above, there is a theory among fans that the smiling titan, which is Dina Fritz, is subconsciously attracted to Eren because of her blood as an Eldian descendant of Fritz.
