Capabilities[]
The user has the ability to make their tail move independently, allowing them to function almost like an additional limb. This flexible tail can grasp and manipulate objects with precision, enabling the user to lift, twist, or throw items as needed. Fully prehensile tails can be used to hold and manipulate objects, and in particular to aid arboreal creatures in finding and eating food in the trees. Additionally, the user can use their tail for offensive moves, striking opponents with swift, whipping motions or entangling and immobilizing them. This unique ability transforms the user’s tail into a versatile tool for both combat and interaction with the environment, offering numerous creative possibilities.
