Biography:
Jugo was an important test subject at Orochimaru's North Hideout before Sasuke released him. Jugo is the origin of the Cursed Seal ability. His body produces special enzymes which allow him to transform his body into a monstrous creature of violence and destruction. Orohimaru kept Jugo confined and extracted his enzymes to create his Cursed Seals. However, it was Jugo who orginally apporached Orochimaru to keep him locked up because he could not control his own bloodlust.

Although Jugo is quite calm and collected in his regular state, he is also highly unstable. The enzymes in his body can drive him into a frenzy, and previously the only way for him to alleviate his bloodlust was to kill someone. However, Sasuke has demonstrated the ability to calm Jugo down with a simple glare. Whether this is an effect of the Sharingan is unknown.

Abilities and Jutsus:

Cursed Seal (Bloodline) (Seal) Jugo's body makes natural enzymes which can turn him into a berserker beast with no warning at all. Orochimaru extracted this enzyme from his body to make his special Cursed Seals of Heaven and implanted them into his followers and test subjects.

Pile Driver Punch (Taijutsu) One of Jugo's special attacks is to follow up his standard power punches with a secondary piledriver-like punch that drives another devastating blow into the already injured foe.
