Tailed Beast Shockwave (3+ Chakra). Each creature within a 5 ft. radius must succeed a DC 17 Strength saving throw or take 7 (1d8 + 3) force damage and be pushed to the edge of this jutsu’s range. Matatabi can add an additional 5 (1d8) damage and 5 feet to the affected radius and the distance the target is pushed for every 2 additional chakra point spent. If more than 20 chakra is spent, the ground and buildings within range take double damage. Matatabi may spend 4 additional chakra separate from the previous effects to use this as a reaction, causing the ranged attacks it may be made in response to to miss in addition to its normal effects. Tailed Beast Bomb (20 Chakra). All creatures in a 10 ft. by 60 ft. line or 20 ft. radius 60 ft. from Matatabi must succeed a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take 58 (10d10 + 3) force damage, are pushed to the closest edge of the area, and fall prone. On a success, they take half as much damage. This jutsu ignores evasion.

Matatabi becomes identical to a person, creature or non-magical object he a complete visual image of. This can not be a light source, armor, tool, or vehicle and, and he can not recreate a magical effect. Creatures must make a DC 17 Investigation check to realize that he is transformed. If the creature saw him performing the Jutsu, they automatically succeed. This does not change statistics, save for granting the creature's swimming and flying speeds. Body Flicker (2 Chakra). Matatabi's movement speed doubles, and his movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. REACTIONSSubstitution (2+ Chakra). When Matatabi is hit by an attack and would take damage, he decreases the damage by 25 (1d10 + 20) and teleports up to 15 ft. in any direction to an unoccupied space, during which he takes the Hide action. A generic object is left in his place and he takes any remaining damage from that attack. Matatabi can add reduce this damage by an additional 6 (1d10) points per chakra point spent over the initial cost. |
Compared to most of the tailed beasts, Matatabi the Two-Tailed Nekomata has historically been respectful and polite towards others, often using formal language and honorifics, even when talking to humans. |
