Jurota Shishida

Jurota Shishida, also known as Gevaudan (ジェボーダン), is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Jurota is a tall young man with a very beastly appearance. He has shaggy, brown hair covering most of his body. He has sharp teeth, and his large jaw sticks out a fair amount, with two lower canines poking upwards between his lips. He also wears small, rectangular glasses with thick black lenses.

His hero costume consists of a regular pair of pants, a shirt collar with no shirt, and a pair of stylized goggles instead of his standard glasses.

While his Quirk is activated, Jurota's size increases significantly, his hair grows thicker and shaggier, and his fangs become more pronounced.

Personality
Jurota seems to be an intellectual as he uses a relatively verbose way of speaking and often addresses others by respectful titles such as 'sir' and 'miss'. This formality is because he was raised in a very well-mannered and doting family. While transformed, however, Jurota is rather boisterous and energetic, likely a side effect of his Quirk.

Jurota admires Hound Dog and wishes he could throw everything away as he does, but is unable to because of his upbringing.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: Jurota has proven himself to be one of the strongest members of Class 1-B; Jurota's ferocity and Quirk handling have earned him commendations for being a mighty combatant. With his Quirk, Beast, Jurota becomes so powerful it becomes difficult to defeat him in a head-to-head battle, especially since his power grants him an incredible increase in his physical prowess. Jurota runs on all fours in his Beast form and attacks his opponents by mauling them.

During the Joint Training Battle, Jurota displayed his ability to singlehandedly overpower multiple opponents, even when they outnumber him. Even after being shocked by Denki Kaminari, Jurota effortlessly subdued him, Koji Koda, and Eijiro Kirishima, the latter being one of the most formidable students of Class 1-A. His abilities eventually garnered the attention of the Lion Hero: Shishido, allowing Jurota to intern under the No. 13 Pro Hero and improve his flurry of attacks and the ability to read ahead of situations.

Keen Intellect: Jurota has shown to possess excellent intellect and great strategic and tactical skills. Even in his Beast form, Jurota retains some of his intellectual aspects despite the rise of euphoria that comes from his Quirk transformation, meaning that he is still capable of strategizing during battles. During the first round of the Joint Training Battle, Jurota correctly deduced that his team would be tracked using Koji's Anivoice Quirk, and the opposing team would pay more attention to Ibara Shiozaki. Taking advantage of this, Jurota had Ibara act as a decoy while slowly closing in on the opposing team by crawling. He knew that Denki would be advantageous if Class 1-A's team had finished preparations, so Jurota and Kosei Tsuburaba initiated a surprise attack on the former group. His ingenuity was further showcased when Jurota, while being cognizant of his Quirk rendering him a bigger target, used his Ultimate Move, Re-Beast, to quickly evade his opponents' attacks by shifting out of his Beast form and then surprise them by instantaneously transforming back into his Beast form. Jurota also possesses sound judgment, being aware of who is the most troublesome of his opponents that must be dealt with first. Knowing that the only person during their battle that could threaten his abilities was Eijiro, Jurota swiped the Sturdy Hero aside to be captured by Ibara, while Jurota successfully grabbed Koji, whom he also deemed troublesome.

Quirk
Beast (ビースト): Jurota's Quirk allows him to transform into a large, monstrous beast-man. This form drastically augments his strength, speed, durability, and senses of hearing and smell. While he is transformed, he becomes more wild, making him reckless.
 * Enhanced Strength: In his beast form, Jurota's strength is enhanced to the point where he can send a person crashing through walls with an arm swipe, toss a person a great distance, and easily tear through industrial piping. His augmented strength extends to his legs, granting Jurota increased jumping capabilities that can damage the platforms he jumps onto.
 * Enhanced Speed: Despite the augmented physique his Quirk grants him, Jurota has shown to be much faster than before, capable of quickly evading surprise attacks and swiftly jumping from various platforms.
 * Enhanced Durability: Jurota's durability is much higher when in his beast form, as he can withstand jolts of electricity generated by Denki and continue fighting effectively against the former's team without showing any signs of hindrance from being electrocuted.
 * Enhanced Senses: With his Quirk activated, Jurota's sense of smell and hearing are significantly sharpened, allowing him to detect the team members of Class 1-A with ease, as well as aid Jurota in evading surprise attacks.

Ultimate Moves

 * Roaring Rage (ガオンレイジ): After transforming into his monstrous form, Jurota leaps through the air at his targets and sends them flying with a swipe of his claws.
 * Re-Beast (ビースト): After momentarily reverting back to his human form in order to dodge an enemy attack, Jurota quickly activates his Quirk again for a counterattack.
