<Kuma Kuma no Mi: Model Arctotherium>
English Name:– Bear Bear Fruit: Model Arctotherium
Classification:– Ancient Zoan
Owned By:– Roland Zuber
Appearance:– Kuma Kuma no Mi: Model Arctotherium is a large fruit, that vaguely resembles coconut, with very hairy skin, that is dark brown, almost black in color with a lighter lines creating distinguishable swirling swirling pattern on it and needs to be peeled off before consumption. From it´s top is growing long and thick, almost branch-like stalk, without any leaves. The insides of the fruit have white color and are really dry with a meat-like structure. Almost like over-dried steak. It doesn´t have any juices worth mentioning but inside of its pulp are small and extremely bitter seeds.
Ability:– Kuma Kuma no Mi: Model Arctotherium is one of the more straightforward ones as it grants its user the ability to transform themselves into full Arctotherium form and the hybrid form between human and Arctotherium. This transformation grants the user the following benefits:
- Massive strength and durability boost: As a member of the Bear Family, Arctotherium offers it´s user upon transformation massive boost to their natural strength and durability. Being the biggest kind of bear whichever existed it´s strength and durability is further enhanced by its sheer bodily mass and it´s status as an Ancient Zoan.
- Natural Weapons: As a mostly carnivorous species both full and hybrid Arctotherium forms are offering to its user sets of powerful claws and teeth, that can be used as a natural weapons, capable of cutting through human flesh and crushing their bones with easy.
- Enhanced senses: Bears are known for their extremely accurate sense of smell, which is best among all land species and great hearing that is more than twice as accurate as of that of a regular human. Once transformed, the user of this fruit has natural access to this advantage in both their full beast and hybrid forms.
Forms:-
- Full beast form: Arctotherium is the largest bear ever existed, with the length of almost 4 meters, height of 1,8 meters and weight around 2 tons making it around triple the sheer size of an average polar bear. Its weight is composed of a healthy mix of muscles and body fat, which acts as its natural armor. Unlike the modern-day bears, Arctotherium has a much shorter face, with the strong jaw and small rounded ears placed on top of it. It has a long, thick fur that dark brown, almost black and very practical for surviving in a cold environment. Having four strong legs with long and powerful claws it usually walks on all four, but like all bears, Arctotherium is also capable of standing on its hind legs and walk a few steps like that.
- Hybrid form: In their hybrid form the user of this fruit will turn himself into a large bipedal, bear-like creature with strong claws and powerful teeth. In comparison to the full transformation, the hybrid form of this fruit is smaller and less robust. With a height around 3 meters and the majority of its size composed from pure muscles, rather than a mix of muscles and fat, it clearly trades some of its raw power for speed and maneuverability. It´s claw, despite still being sharp and powerful are also shorter, which allows it to fully use it´s opposable thumbs to grab and hold things and weapons. Also, it´s full body is covered by a thick dark brown fur which is slightly shorter than the fur of its full transformation.
Weaknesses:–
- Kairoseki: saps the physical strength of the Ability User and prevents them from consciously controlling or activating their power, forcing Roland back into his human form.
- Water: Submersion in water immobilizes the Ability User and causes them to sink, disabling conscious power control. Once submerged, Roland is forced to transform back into his human form.
- Sensitive sense of smell: One of their greatest strength can be actually a weakness to, as the sharp nose of any bear is also very sensitive on different chemicals and powerful stench, which can cause physical suffering to the transformed user.
