Powers and Techniques
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Genius Intelligence, Large Size (Building Sized; His official description says he's 50 foot tall), Bioluminescence (Shown here), Natural Weaponry (Via claws), Camouflage (By using the hoard of gold upon his shell to look like an inanimate mountain of treasures and can also make his entire body black to match darkness), Non-Standard Interaction (Should scale to Moana who can physically interact with the spirit of her grandmother) Breaking the Fourth Wall (Spoke to the audience in the end credits), Immortality (Ageless; Tamatoa was around a thousand years prior to the story. Undead Immortality; If he were to die, he would possibly turn into a spirit like Moana's grandmother. Reliance [Reincarnation Cycle]; He could reincarnate since it is heavily implied that the manta ray seen here is the reincarnation of Moana's grandmother)
Equipment
Nothing Notable
Other
Standard Tactics: Tamatoa uses his large size to ragdoll his opponent while mocking them.
Weaknesses: If he is knocked onto his back, it is very difficult for him to get back up along with being incredibly vain and arrogant which makes him very easy to trick into talking about himself.
Note: It should be noted that the reincarnation cycle is not usable in combat due to it taking days. Also, while Tamatoa never displayed these powers himself, he still is a living being so it would make sense that same thing would happen to him if he died.
