Creaturepedia Edition N°3 - Titans

It was a few times that I did not showed monsters, well, Creaturepedia is back, and for this third edition, I'll talk about monsters from a Japanese anime that I discovered there are few, Attack on Titan, and contains creatures that I consider among the most creepy that I have seen in my life: the Titans.

Physical Description:

The titans strangely resemble to humans, with a difference: size. Titans, as their name suggests, can reach disproportionate sizes, the smallest being of 3 to 4 meters high, and the largest, the colossal Titan, which reaches the height of 60 meters! The Titans do not have reproductive organs, not outside, their body temperature is very high, and their faces are usually expressionless, with glassy eyes and twisted mouths. Some titans have long hair or short, or even are bald, they can also have beards or even mustaches. It is not known if there are female titans, because most of the Titans have a masculine appearance, although some titans showed in the series look more like women.  It is even unsure that the male / female concept may be valid with the Titans. The Titans are immortal, they can survive over 100 years without feeding, and have a powerful regenerative power. Even if the head of a titan explodes, he shall not die and his head is regenerated in one or two minutes. At first, the Titans seem indestructible, but they have one weakness: the neck, where the flesh does not regenerates. With their size, titans naturally possess superhuman strength, but the most powerful remains the colossal Titan, who is the only one capable of destroying the fortified walls. With their human form, I think the titans of the series are inspired from the giants of Greek mythology, who also had a human appearance and were known to devour humans. 

Homeworld:

One of the greatest mysteries of the series is the origin of the titans. Who are they really? Where do they come from? Are they a new species of humans, coming to supplant humanity as the dominant species? Or are they entities sent to the earth by divine forces to punish humanity for his many sins?

Behavior:

One of the most frightening things with the Titans is their behavior. Curiously, the Titans have no interest for other living species and focus only against humans. It is found that as the Titans are able to survive several hundred years without eating humans, it is concluded by the characters that the Titans do not devour humans for food, but only in order to kill them. We can therefore deduce that the titans for one purpose to eradicate mankind. The intelligence of the Titans is less than that of humans, but some can show high intelligence, and even some express on their faces, human expressions, for example, one named the "sadistic titan", which has a tight smile on his face, like the Joker, and who seems to enjoy devour humans. For my part, I call this titan, the "giant Joker". But what we still do not know is why they try to kill all humans? What is the true purpose of the Titans? They attack by their own bestial instinct, or under orders of something, or someone?
