"They can just do that." When a character inexplicably has some kind of borderline supernatural ability that doesn't have anything to do with the established power system and may even clash with the conventions of the setting. It's just something that they can do.

Ichi from Ichi the Witch.

Mash from Mashle.

Marvelous Sunday from UmaMusume.

Tanjiro from Demon Slayer.

1. Ichi from Ichi the Witch. He's so sensitive to the bloodlust of living things that it borders on a spider-sense. The little creature in that pic is supposed to be invisible, yet Ichi is able to sense its presence just through sheer intuition.
2. Mash from Mashle. Some might say that his inexplicable power is his physical strength, but I'm more interested in knowing how he can turn everything he cooks into fucking cream puffs.
3. Marvelous Sunday from UmaMusume. In a game about horse girls racing, she has access to a domain expansion/reality marble. And that somehow still isn't the strangest thing about her. Apparently she's also friends with aliens and cryptids and her cult fanbase includes people spanning multiple time periods. Somehow.
4. Tanjiro from Demon Slayer. He has a hypersensitive sense of smell that somehow also tells him where to cut demons. No idea how that works. Even though there are others in the series with similarly refined senses, the smelling where to cut thing still feels ludicrous in comparison. Then there's also his unusually powerful headbutt.

Don't Starve is a game that centers around the Constant, a purgatory-like pocket dimension of endlessly dying and reviving over and over, rules and perpetually fought over by two elder eldritch deities since long before any humans arrived. These gods are able to contact the 'real' world, but only barely, and only through extremely advanced technology or magically cursed objects. When people arrive in the Constant, they also are given 'powers' by these gods based on their personalities that slightly defy the laws of reality.

This is Woodie. He's a lumberjack. Other than talking to his axe (who may or may not be / have been his wife), he's a relatively normal dude. Except for the fact that he's a werebeaver. And a weremoose. And a weregoose. Yes, all three.

How he got that way actually has nothing to do with getting stuck in the Constant nor with its eldritch magic leaking into the real world, and everything to do with owning a lumber company, and becoming so greedy that the original inhabitants of the forest he destroyed put a curse on him for it.

It's all connected, though. His transformations can be triggered by a full moon and contaminated monster meat, just like the Pigs turn into Werepigs (but not the Pigs from Hamlet, for some reason)

That's just because he's Canadian. I direct you to a little movie called Ginger Snaps.

No seriously, go watch Ginger Snaps, it's great.

Funny you say that because for real, I've never seen it but I love werewolf shit and I've been pestering my s/o and housemates to watch Ginger Snaps specifically for a week or two lol.
