The power to use the abilities of a Hakutaku. Variation of Yokai Physiology.
Also Called
- Bai Ze Physiology
- Hakutaku Mimicry
Capabilities
User with this ability either is or can transform into a Hakutaku (White Marsh), a fantastic beast from Chinese legend said to know everything that ever was, and everything that ever will be. They have the ability to look into and gain understanding of people, things, and phenomena, which alone could account for their incredible amount of knowledge and understanding, but it only serves to compound that gained by millennia of research and study.
They are commonly depicted as a "bovine or monstrous felid creature with nine eyes and six horns, arranged in sets of three and two on both its flanks and its man-like face. It is also commonly depicted as having the body of a lion and eight eyes, known for having a horn or multiple horns on their heads." However, the number of extra eyes actually varies depending on interpretation, and sometimes the creature is pictured with only one in the center of its head. It is considered to be "intelligent, and well read with the ability to understand human speech."
