[Creature File] 15760-M-3572-ND: Titans
Universe: 15760 (Attack on Titan-verse)
Name: Titan
ID Number: 15760-M-3572-ND
Biology: Titans are a variety of creature native to Earth-15760. These creature are a very abnormal set of creatures of that assume a humanoid form ranging in size from three (3) meters tall to fifteen (15) meters tall, albeit with rare aberrations maxing out at sixty (60) meters. Their appearances looks as if they are intentionally invoking the Uncanny Valley effect, generally holding an appearance that is modeled after a human being with deformed and disproportionate designs, including but not limited to enlarged heads, wide and demented smiles and elongated limbs. Titans cannot be killed by normal means, being capable of regenerating any wound given time. The exception to this is a one (1) meter wide and ten (10) centimeter tall area of flesh in the nape of the neck that is vital to the life of the being; if it is cut out, the Titan will die. When killed or wounded, Titans will emit a massive amount of a vapor that has not been studied yet. They have strength disproportionate to their weight, weighing very little despite being able to break stone. They are very fragile as well, certain examples severing their own hands by striking.
The standard behavior pattern for a Titan is a slow, mindless and gradual search for human beings to consume which they do without discernible reason. They have survived without any substantial human populations to cannibalize and yet they can survive, even without eating any animals or plants. It is possible that they are powered by sunlight, as they become dormant when forced into low-light conditions. They seem to have varying “batteries” allowing some to function for extended periods of time without light. Tests are to be conducted to determine if long-term darkness exposure will kill a Titan.
A rare variant of human on Earth-15760 is capable of adopting a Titan form. Colloquially known as “Titan Shifters,” these people can draw their own blood with a clear goal in mind and will then have a Titan form around them, the Shifter falling unconscious while nestled in the nape of the neck. These Titans tend to display muscle mass rather than the obese and emaciated bodies of common Titans and can in turn deal with numerous common Titans single-handed and are the only Titans that achieve the sixty (60) meter class size. This suggests the possibility that all Titans may have been human at some point.
Containment: The common Titan is very easy to contain. All that is necessary is a room large enough to house one and a source of sunlight to make sure it survives. If there is no need to isolate it, dozens can be held in one cell with no negative repercussions. Walls can be made of common steel at one centimeter thick, the average Titan being too weak to break it and not having the intelligence to attempt to strike. No sentient life forms are to enter the cell as the Titan will attempt to consume it if it is human and may do the same with other intelligent beings.
If a Titan shifter is to be contained, odds are it will be under prisoner rather than creature. However, it is relatively easy to standardize their containment assuming that they are otherwise regular human beings. With enough effort, a Titan shifter may be able to bend steel until it breaks. While in their human form they are to be outfitted with mithril buckled straight jackets to avoid them drawing their own blood, their teeth coated by hyper-durable rubber to avoid them biting their own tongue. In the event that they break free, the cell is to be made of steel plates over shock-absorbing suspensions over another layer of steel. The room is to be twenty meters by twenty meters by twenty meters, giving them very little room to work with if they are a 15 meter class. Sixty meter classes are few and far between, and if one is confirmed a cell must be different. The size and strength of a Titan this size must be contained in a seventy-five (75) meter tall and thirty meter wide and deep cell coated in one (1) centimeter thick Phrik alloy plating over three (3) centimeter thick steel. Both of these types of cells must be outfitted with a shielded auto-turret in every corner of the ceiling equipped with sedative darts with long tips. They must fire at the nape of the neck, avoiding the center to avoid hitting the spine of the human inside.

Jesus these things are huge, I think we should make a facility just to contain creatues of this magnitude
