Clearly,
Aisha loves a lot of food from different cuisines across the galaxy.
While she also really eats at the crew's budget it isn't that she wants
to cause harm by that. Ctarl-Ctarl actually have to eat great quantities of food for their survival. As shown above she ate just a meagre
amount of food at Blue Heaven. This was an apology of sorts (what for
though, really?) from Gene, but she actually had an ulterior motive.
Her potential beast state is determined by the amount she eats. This
isn't a temporary thing either. The Ctarl-Ctarl are able to conserve
extra calories and use them later on.
Metamorphosis
Once Ctarl-Ctarl reach their final beast state they're able to
transform which requires huge energy consumption. This is their
ultimate form. As Suzuka noted in the sixteenth episode when Aisha
transforms the first time, communication would be pointless since
they lose control of themselves. It's like a stage of pure rage and
they're unable to listen to reason.
It's unknown if a Ctarl-Ctarl is able to voluntarily change back
while in this state, but some parts of the show suggest they can't.
After Aisha defeated Lady Iraga she was still seen in her final beast
state. Since this final form consumes a huge amount of energy it seems
it will just "run out" eventually. This is further backed up by her
fight against Jukai at the Galactic Leyline. Aisha was almost
completely wiped out and only just defeated Jukai, immediately collapsing
and shortly after returning to her regular form.
The crew made the mistake of associating Lady Iraga with the
Ctarl-Ctarl. Aisha corrected them and explained that the Ctarl-Ctarl
aren't the same race and Iraga was a "low-class werewolf".
Unfortunately, we don't know for certain whether Iraga's werewolf state
was the result of Tao magic, but going by what Aisha said (and the fact
she recognised Iraga from her past) it seems there is a separate
werewolf race, meaning Iraga was not a Terran. Having said that, there
were Tao magic-powered gorillas in the novel El Dorado Covered with Clouds.
