Pendragon (Quirk)

**Pendragon** (所長竜(ペンドラゴン), *Pendoragon*, Lit. “Chief Dragon”) is the transformation-type quirk of Ashkelon.

## Description

Pendragon is an transformation quirk belonging to Ashkelon that allows her to transform into an black-furred dragon, an mythical legendary creature of various cultures around the world. However taking more in nature to being an feline then an actual dragon, depicted as reptilian allows her to gain certain properties associated with dragons. In this case, she can transform between two different states; an non-combat mode and a combat mode. A non-combat mode is the default form looking more like a strange looking cat then what one may think is a dragon. In its non-combat mode, she is very agile and manoeuvrable in the environment, just as flexible if not even more then the actual domesticated cat. The non-combat mode features an sturdy small body for agility and speed over physical strength and power, faster the common household cat with stronger claws and higher jaw strength then the cat (comparatively inferior to the combat mode). This is the default and requires no energy to use.

However as stated, she can shift into what is called an "combat mode" or "combative mode", which transforms her into an large, four-legged more familiar dragon form. In the combat form, Ashkelon is a formidable individual with dense scales under fur to take great amounts of damage, including high calibre bullets with some noticeable "pain" (more often stinging sensations). With her massive body, the combat mode is able to exert great amounts of physical strength which she can smash through walls of stone and brick with ease. She can even use her powerful limbs to crush objects with her jaw strength believed to exceed well over 25,000 pounds per square inch, the strongest bite force only surpassed by the extinct Tyrannosaurus rex which she can crush almost anything with her jaws. On the forehead protrudes two heavy-duty horn that can penetrate most materials behind her impressive body strength. With large pair of wings enabling her to fly, she can go incredible speeds for her speeds, going just shy faster then a F-18. Overall, her combat mode can become an dangerous thing to encounter to those hostile to her, easily using her tail to cause concussive or blunt damage and her claws to impale anything. At some point, the mode even enables to project an powerful particle accelerator beam from her mouth, which can have various of effect of small burn to almost complete disintegration of the targeted object.

### Weaknesses

A major flaw in Pendragon is her combat mode, which requires energy to be utilized, often resulting in fatigue, dehydration, starvation, dizziness and numbness over prolonged use of the combat mode. Also to note the powerful particle accelerator beam takes an heavy toll depending on the output of the beam itself, with the highest having guaranteed in knocking her out from the side effects she'll obtained. As the combat mode is massive in size, it's generally slower then non-combat mode, less agile but relatively speaking still quite fast in quick turns. The non-combat mode is the weakest form and is the default, often coming with little to no physical defenses and all of the combat mode's physical prowess being absent. However the jaw strength is still impressive, being stronger the common house cat.

As it stands, Ashkelon has been unable to revert to human form, incapable of human speech as well, making it extremely, if not impossible to communicate to the human community to voice her situations.
