Whoever carries this Quirk simply is a kaiju. The bearer takes on reptilian features, stands at enormous size, and possesses strength to match that frame. Nothing needs activating and nothing switches off, because the physiology itself is the ability.

Notable Users

Godzillo is the only known bearer. The name points at Toho, the studio that co-produces and also distributes the My Hero Academia anime, its films and its OVAs, and that owns the Godzilla franchise outright. Ryuichi Gojiyama's Kaiju Quirk covers neighboring ground, but the two differ in kind: Kaiju turns its user into a monster, while Toho means the body was always one.
