The power to utilize the abilities of a fictional jungle-dweller.
Also Called
- Jungle-Dweller Mimicry
Capabilities
Users of this ability are capable of taking on the traits associated with fictional jungle-dwellers. Despite the name, it has very little to do with tribal societies or people and instead is a kind of fantasy human, often an outsider who has crashed into jungle life at an early age and been raised by the animals or spirits of the jungle. As a result, they gain remarkable superhuman powers that make them legends among both the native societies of the jungle and outsiders.

Associations
Limitations
- Due to having adapted specifically for life within the often fantastical jungles of fiction they can have considerable difficulty with modern society, thus will come into conflict with those seeking to expand human civilization into the wilderness. They will also often be unable (or unwilling) to adapt to modern/urban life. In various cases, some could be incapable of communication or speak with a broken accent.
