Cow
CharacterCow is the Transformation Quirk carried by the Pro Hero Cow Lady, seen only in the first My Hero Academia feature film. It reshapes her physiology along bovine lines, swapping human anatomy for hooves, horns, and hide, and lifting her physical output to match the animal it borrows from.
Overview
Cow is written as Ushi in Japanese and sits in the Transformation category, with an effective reach limited to melee distance. It reaches the screen in My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, and it is counted among both the Pro Hero Quirks and the abilities original to the films.
Mechanics
Activation rewrites the holder's body along the lines of cattle. Hooves take over where feet were, horns push up from the skull, and the skin thickens into hide. The gains are measured against the animal itself: whatever pace and force a cow can generate, the transformed user can generate too.
