Jurota Shishida (
Appearance
Jurota is a tall young man with a very beastly appearance, with shaggy, brown chin-length hair, beard, and fur covering most of his body. He has sharp teeth and his large jaw sticks out a fair amount, with two of his lower canines poking upwards from between his lips. He also wears small rectangular glasses with thick lenses.
His hero costume consists of a regular pair of pants, no shirt and a pair of stylized goggles in place of his normal glasses.
While his Quirk is activated, Jurota's size increases greatly, his hair grows thicker and shaggier, and his fangs become longer and more pronounced.
Personality
Jurota seems to be an intellectual as he uses a fairly verbose way of speaking and often addresses others by respectful titles such as 'sir' and 'miss'. While transformed, however Jurota is rather boisterous and energetic, which is likely a side effect of his Quirk.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: While the extent of Jurota's abilities have yet to be shown, his tenacity and Quirk handling earned him commendations of being a very powerful combatant of Class 1-B. During the Joint Training, Jurota displayed his ability of being able to overpower multiple opponents by himself. Even after being electrocuted by Denki Kaminari, Jurota effortlessly subdued him, Koji Koda, and Eijiro Kirishima, the latter being one of the most formidable students of Class 1-A.
Keen Intellect: Jurota has demonstrated excellent intellect, coupled with great strategic and tactical skills in battle. During the Joint Training, Jurota correctly deduced that his team would be tracked using Koji Koda's Anivoice Quirk, and the opposing team would pay more attention to Ibara Shiozaki. Taking advantage of this, Jurota had Ibara act as a decoy, while he himself slowly closed in on the opposing team by crawling. He knew that if Class 1-A's team had finished preparations, Denki Kaminari would be in an advantageous position, so Jurota and Kosei Tsuburaba initiated a surprise attack on the former team. His ingenuity was further showcased when Jurota used his Super Move "Re-Beast", to quickly evade his opponents attacks, and then surprise them by transforming back into his beast from. Jurota also possesses good judgement, being aware as to who is the most troublesome of his opponents that need to be dealt with first. He knew that the only person, at the moment, that can pose a threat to his abilities was Eijiro Kirishima, so he swiped him aside to be the first person captured by Jurota's team, while Jurota himself successfully captured Koji, whom he also deemed troublesome.
