The Ox Miraculous is a nose ring that, whenever Stompp inhabits it, transforms the wearer into an ox-themed superhero with the power of Determination.[1]
To activate the nose ring, the user must speak the transformation phrase: "Make Way". To deactivate the nose ring, the user must speak the detransformation phrase, which is currently unknown.
In "Destruction", Gabriel used a laser machine to melt down the Miraculous into a pile of dust, and then reforged it into a special Alliance ring for transferring Stompp's power of Determination to any Akumatized villain who wore a regular Alliance ring.
In "Re-creation", after Marinette Dupain-Cheng manages to recover all of the Miraculouses that were previously stolen, she restores the Ox Miraculous back to its original form and she gives it back to Ivan permanently.
In general, the Ox Miraculous is a nose ring with an open section with the tips of the edges being rounded. In charged mode, when Stompp inhabits it, it is dark blue with five pale yellow spikes around its outer edge. If a minor is using the miraculous, the nose ring starts running out of power, and it makes a beeping sound, and the spikes start discoloring (one spike is equivalent to one minute) Ivan (or another Ox Miraculous holder) has left.
In its activated mode, the spikes are black.
In Season 6 in its activated mode the spikes are absent.
In its camouflage mode, the nose ring changes color and form depending on whose possession it's in:
The Miraculous' camouflaged form when worn by Gabriel.
The Miraculous' camouflaged form when worn by Marinette.
The Miraculous' camouflaged form when worn by Chloé.
In it's reforged ring form, it was a thick band with a circle surface, similar to the Cat Miraculous, inside of it was the symbol of the Ox Miraculous which glowed navy blue. It used to sit on the thumb of Gabriel's right hand.
Abilities
The Ox Miraculous has the ability to transform its wielder into an ox-themed superhero, granting its wielder incredible powers of speed, endurance, agility, stamina and strength.
Its special weapon is an unbreakable Mallet which can be utilized as both a weapon, a communicator, and an object that can be used to breathe underwater. Its special superpower is called Resistance, which gives the user the ability to be immune to any other abilities in order to obtain their goal, like defeating a villain. If the wielder is not an adult, as long as the superpower isn't used, they can remain transformed indefinitely. However, as soon as the superpower is used, the wielder loses power, and the transformation wears off in about approximately five minutes. The nose ring also has the ability to give the wielder the costume they truly desire.

Alongside the Ladybug Miraculous, it is unknown if the wearer actually needs to have a pierced nose in order to wear the Miraculous, or if the pins just pass through the wearers nose magically, though since Adrien (despite not having ear piercings) was having no trouble wearing the earrings in "Reflekdoll" and "Passion", it's most likely not necessary for either of the jewels.
