Working in many places as a park ranger, Janice has grown to be able to track any being throughout any sort of environment. Her discerning eyes can keep track of her target once she spots any sign that they left.
This ability has been honed throughout years of hunting throughout the night for intruders in deserts and forests. She's not using just physical hints, like footprints, but also patterns of movement from people trying to evade her.
By taking a close look, with a magnifying glass, Janice is able to use any trace of even the most miniscule of debris to see where the target has been. She's even able to keep track of the target well enough that if she loses their trail, she can recognize new tracks.

After a while, Clyde has developed a supererogatory for food, or water, as well as, in dire cases, need for air.

With this transformation, he attracts a large gang of naturally colored stoats, weasels, and sables that are Kamaitachi. They come from behind trash cans, out of holes in the ground, or out of kitchen cabinets to join together and form a large 'confusion', including his companion Kazarisu.
---------------------
While transformed in this state Ricter loses his ability to talk, yet the group shares memories, ideas, his powers, and information wordlessly as if one creature but keeping their personalities. The group works together and acts in unison, supplementing all their attacks and moves using their superior numbers instead of straight brute force.
Given Kazarisu is joining the pack he has to be summoned to help out in using this ability. When dismissed, the many weasels summoned will typically scatter, either wishing Ricter good luck or thanking them for the 'fun time' if things went well. Reverting Ricter to his humanoid shape.
