Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pachycephalosaurus

The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pachycephalosaurus is an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into a hybrid and full version of a pachycephalosaurus at will. It was eaten by Ulti.

Etymology

 * Ryū (竜) is Japanese for "dragon" and can be found in the Japanese term for "dinosaur" (恐竜).

Strengths and Weaknesses
This fruit grants the user the ability to turn into a full or partial pachycephalosaurus, a dinosaur known for its tough cranium and headbutting prowess, at will. Much like other fruits in the Ryu Ryu no Mi series, this fruit grants a tremendous increase in the user's physical strength. The user's skull also greatly increases in size and thickness, which suits Ulti due to her fighting style revolving mainly around headbutting opponents.

In full pachycephalosaurus form, Ulti becomes at least as huge as her brother's full spinosaurus form and is capable of crushing stone walls with ease. Also, in spite of having proportionally smaller arms, she is still able to hold targets down in this form. Monkey D. Luffy, despite being tremendously strong himself, once found himself caught and immobilized by Ulti's claws, and considered activating his Gear Fourth in order to escape.

Furthermore, this fruit seemingly enhances the user's endurance and recovery ability. Despite being briefly knocked by one of Yamato's attacks, Ulti regained consciousness rather quickly and was only slightly hampered by the subsequent bleeding, something that was attributed to her being a dinosaur Zoan.

No weaknesses of the fruit are currently known other than the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Ulti uses this fruit in combat. Since she is already a strong melee fighter, transforming allows her to enhance the power of her attacks even more. Ulti transforms when she takes her opponent seriously, and her fruit usage is considered by her crewmates to be overkill against most opponents.

Attacks

 * Ul-Meteor (ウル): While holding her opponent, Ulti rears her head back and prepares to unleash a headbutt in a significantly more powerful version of the Ul-Zugan technique. She was first shown trying to use this on Luffy, but was unable to execute it due to being attacked by Yamato. Since she was attacked in the middle of saying the attack name, "Ul Meteor" may not be the full name of the attack. This attack is called Ulti-Meteor in the VIZ translation.

Trivia

 * Ulti grows larger when activating this fruit's transformation, despite the pachycephalosaurus being noted to stand shorter than the average human. This is a trend among some Zoan users like Lucci or Jabra.
 * For unknown reasons, Ulti's full beast form completely changes her hair color, turning it from dark to light-colored. She's the only Zoan user so far to exhibit this quirk.
