Ability Files
Every observed or inferred Nen phenomenon aboard the Black Whale, filed by classification. Files unlock as your clearance chapter advances; sealed counts are shown so you know what you cannot yet read.
Hatsu developed and wielded by the user themselves.
In his scarlet-eyed state, Kurapika becomes a Specialist with 100% efficiency in every Nen category — a temporary mastery no natural affinity allows.
The pendulum chain on Kurapika's ring finger: a lie detector and locator that swings toward truth's absence.
The healing chain on his thumb, mending wounds at enhanced speed.
The chain on his index finger, developed for the voyage: it extracts a target's Nen ability into a syringe-like head for later lending.
The binding chain on his middle finger, wrapping targets in unbreakable coils that also force Zetsu.
The little-finger blade: it drives a condition into the target's heart; violation means death.
Sayird's beetle-drone ability: co-opt a small creature and pilot it remotely, seeing through its senses.
Benjamin inherits the Nen ability of any pledged subordinate who dies — each loyal death passes its owner's power up the chain of command.
Camilla's counteractive-type ability: a giant cat manifests when she is killed, crushes her killer, and drips their converted life back into her mouth.
Morena's Specialist 'game': she is the dealer-mother of up to 22 players, each granted a Nen ability tailored to their goals, leveling by kills.
Chrollo's book: he steals others' abilities under strict conditions and uses them from its pages.
Hisoka's aura with the properties of both rubber and gum — attachment, elasticity, and every murderous application in between.
Musse's surveillance owls: Nen-beast birds that eavesdrop through walls or, planted by touch, telepathically relay everything a target does and says.
Furykov's Specialist analysis ability, formally explained only in ch 413: by cumulatively spending time near a target, he deciphers the full details of their ability — then can spend the same amount of time again to craft equipment that destroys, supplements, or amplifies it.
Yushohi's assassination ability, rated the deadliest among Benjamin's fourteen soldiers: he attaches a tiny winged 'stinger ball' to a target and, after an incubation period, the target dies by undisclosed means.
Chiyamasi's touch-charged invincibility: by maintaining contact with a voluntary target, he banks time — and the target then becomes invulnerable for exactly as long as the contact lasted.
Longhi's contract engine: a conditional Manipulation ability that binds voluntary signatories to written terms, rewarding compliance and punishing breach.
Parasitic protectors granted by the seed urn ceremony — one per prince.
An amorphous, cloaked presence over the infant prince.
A serpentine beast whose known power conjures a perfect duplicate of Room 1013 behind a one-way boundary: the household lives inside it, invisible and unreachable, while the real room reads empty.
Conjures paired doors — an Outgoing Door and a Door of Return — linking two locations, the only unrestricted movement aboard the sealed ship.
Halkenburg's group ability, made possible by his Guardian Spirit Beast: a great bow whose arrow forces a mind swap.
A towering, many-faced horror even by beast standards, apparently entangled with the prince's own awakening time-perception ability.
A beast that worked through those watching over its prince — documented largely after her death, as investigators reconstructed the suite's events.
Manifestation glimpsed in silhouette among the beasts at the rite; no behavior documented.
Distinct from her personal Cat's Name: per the class-arc elaborations, her beast coercively manipulates people once certain conditions are fulfilled.
Produces coins through the prince — objects whose full function (currency? tokens? contracts?) is only partly documented.
Per the class-arc elaborations: a beast that can produce a variety of drugs within its body — but only with the help of a partner.
Appears to act on readers of the Book of Tyson, binding them toward devotion; rules thinly documented.
Manipulates people by setting traps shaped like their own desires — the indolent prince's beast hunts through appetite.
A beast whose smoke gradually turned those who inhaled it into the Eighth Prince's devotees — Benjamin's observer clocked full affection in ~8 hours for intimates, ~70 for others, and projected kingdom-scale mind control had he taken the throne.
Silhouette among the manifested beasts; form undescribed in detail.
A regal, robed figure attending the Third Prince.
A towering many-faced idol, among the most unsettling manifestations recorded.
Glimpsed in outline; a many-limbed apparatus.
An ornate winged figure associated with her gospel.
A smoke-wreathed presence attending the Eighth Prince.
A great bird-like presence with a drawn bow.
After the prince's death: Kacho herself, indistinguishable in manner and memory.
Rarely shown directly; its doors are its signature.
Reconstructed from testimony rather than clear depiction.
Serpentine, and larger every time it is seen.
An amorphous cloaked mass, all drape and no face.
Nen that persists — or strengthens — after its user's death.
Malicious bindings and hexes.
Powers stolen, copied, or lent from another user.
Observed effects whose classification is not on record.
