As a result, both look more like traditional non-human monsters in a reflection of their being on the side of humanity. Eren's Titan form has pointed ears and a skull-like face, while Ymir's Titan form looks animalistic with shark-like teeth, claws, Creepily Long Arms, and fur sprouting along its shoulders.

Related to Otherworldly Communication Failure, in which a supernatural being's uncanny appearance can impede their ability to communicate with others who run away in fear, often with disastrous results.

As a result, someone or something whose appearance exists in the uncanny valley can be offputting and unsettling to interact with, even though the thing or character being encountered may very well be harmless. While the uncanny valley is usually known to be unintentional, it can also intentionally be used in a work - either for creeping out the characters In-Universe or for deliberately creeping out the audience. Sometimes things that aren't realistic look pretty similar to things that are realistic, yet something about them seems wrong in some way and ends up being unsettling.
