Monster Cat
CharacterMonster Cat lets its owner sink into an object or a machine, take on its shape, and drive it completely, then separate again afterward. The only holder is a cat, and the ability has been witnessed just once, after a dose of Trigger let the animal commandeer an entire bus.
Overview
Monster Cat is a Transformation Quirk that works on contact, named after the cat who carries it. Chapter 17 of Vigilantes introduces it, and Episode 9 of that adaptation covers the same events.
Mechanics
The owner fuses with an object or a piece of machinery, adopts its form, and takes total command of it, with the option of splitting away later.
What the power can manage at baseline has never been established. The single recorded display came after Kuin Hachisuka injected the animal with a small amount of Trigger, which amplified the Quirk enough to let it take over a bus.

Notable Users
The cat known as Monster Cat is the sole holder, and one of the few animals in the setting shown to have a Quirk at all, alongside Nezu with High Specs and the Queen Bee holders Kuin Hachisuka and Bee Pop.
A jailbreaker in the film My Hero Academia: You're Next demonstrates something comparable, merging with a supply van and taking control of it.
