It’s a fact that Attack on Titan, both the anime and the manga, has recently come to an end, but fans haven’t stopped asking questions about the work. One of the most common focuses is on the Jaw Titan and its ability to fly, leading many to think it is a bird.
The first thing to keep in mind is that the Jaw Titan, although he does not become a bird in the literal sense, acquires certain abilities thanks to the inheritance received by Falco Grice. They manifest avian characteristics such as wings and feathers, but this does not imply a complete transformation into a bird.

The Amazing Abilities of Falko Grice as the Jaw Titan in Attack on Titan
The Jaw Titan’s power is due to the influence of the Beast Titan, as Zeke Jiger, the owner of the Beast Titan, became Falco’s predecessor. Zeke’s Titan has the ability to transform into animals, and this ability is reflected in Falco’s final form as the Jaw Titan.

After his transformation, Falco displays a number of distinctive features: sharp claws, beak-like teeth, and sometimes red eyes. These traits are more similar to those of the Beast Titan than the Jaw Titans of Galliard or Ymir. This noticeable difference has led many fans to speculate whether Falco’s drastic changes in appearance could be the result of ingesting Zeke’s spinal fluid.
Since the beginning of Attack on Titan, it has been shown how a titan’s appearance changes depending on its owner. While the extent of these changes varies depending on each Titan, the successors of the Beast Titan have undergone some of the most radical and amazing transformations in history.

It is important to note that Falco retains his human essence and intelligence when he transforms into the Jaw Titan. Unlike other Titans who act on instinct, Falco can control his actions and use his Titan form strategically.
Other details to take into account is that Falco’s name is associated with a bird, so the meaning of this character could be “Falcon”, and not only that, because he has been associated with birds since he appeared in ” Attack on Titan”, such as when he lay on his back and looked up at the sky during Marley’s battle against the Middle East Alliance, in which he tries to call a bird to order it to fly away.
It is a fact that the connection between Zeke’s spinal fluid and Falco’s unique Jaw Titan transformation has not been officially confirmed, but this theory is the most credible explanation at this time. So for many, the idea that Zika fluid played a crucial role in the titanium mutation is real.
