Apparently he could grant wishes, but this was probably a lie. He can throw a green acid-like liquid which can melt objects like rocks, wood and even people.
 
 
He can change his physical shape and manipulate his structure to such a degree that it seems to appear out of nowhere. He can jump to great heights and move at speeds greater than human. He can also enter material objects and even living beings such as fish or people to melt them to the bone.
 
 
His body is made out of liquid-like substance which is not affected by swords nor bullets, the only way to harm and kill him is to destroy the mask he's wearing.

Plesio is a demonic mask who purports to grant wishes, but in actuality only commits murders to frame its victims.

Description

Plesio true form is a demonic ochre mask that passingly resembles the face portion of a pharaoh's death mask, including a postiche, but has three eyes sewn shut with thread. The two normal eyes resemble glowing green jewels, while the third eye is red. When active, the mask usually grows a "body" in the shape of a shrouded, scrawny, humpbacked figure, made out of a violently red, intensely corrosive acid. This ichorous facade is fluid and thus invulnerable to attack.

When a victim happens upon the mask, Plesio manifests and offers to grant them any wish they desire.[1] However, it will reject any wish made, first by responding "No way," then "No. I'm not interested," then finally "No. It wouldn't benefit you."[2] One of its eyes snap open with each rejected wish, first the right, then the left, and then the middle, and afterward, Plesio will vanish. Unbeknownst to the victim, Plesio will surreptitiously haunt them until they facetiously wish for a friend's death out of annoyance,[3][4] at which point he will suddenly appear and state "I shall grant your wish," murder their friend with a shower of acid and state "Your wish has been granted," and then vanish to leave the victim framed as a murderer.

Plesio normally acts malevolent and patronizing to its victims, pretending to be just following their orders so that they will feel guilt for his murders, and acts unimpressed in the face of most attacks due to its invulnerable body. However, when overpowered it quickly becomes undignified and cowardly, and even then, it is quick to cockily reverse course when it thinks it can betray its captor, mocking them for being "tricked".
