Great Ape, or Oozaru, changes your Saiyan character into a great ape with unmatched strength and power. This form is massive and increases your physical attacks sharply. When you use this form, you will transform into a giant anthropomorphic ape. With a more monkey-like appearance than an ape, the form looks like a large gorilla with a trail and the head of a baboon with red eyes and jagged teeth. Like how a werewolf works, during a full moon, your character will uncontrollably change into the great ape form so long as they look at the full moon. This process is unstopped so long as your character has a tail. If at any point your tail is removed for any reason you will lose access to the Oozaru form. If your tail is lost during transformation the form will end, yet you will still suffer from stress exhaustion.
When you attempt to transform Oozaru you must declare which stage of Oozaru you are going to use, stage one or two. You do not have to transform into one stage to use stage two.
Increase your attribute modifiers from Oozaru for each stage of Oozaru you have activate. This meaning the Golden Ape or stage two will grant eight (+8) to your strength modifier and six (+6) to your Potency modifier.
Each stage of Oozaru you have active will grant you additional traits and abilities from the Oozaru transformation. Each of these bonus traits are listed with a stage requirement that must be meant to gain access to them. As an example, to use the Oozaru trait Pure Ferocity you must have stage two or Golden Ape active.
Each stage of Oozaru increases the Tier of Power requirements to access and use the stage by one (+1). Meaning, when you attempt to use Golden Ape (stage two) you are required to be at least Tier of Power One (1).
