So far we have no idea what Urouge's DF actually is. We know one of its abilities, but Oda hasn't actually given us its name yet.
So while we assume it is paramecia, there's a big chance that it isn't. See in 1045, Kaido said that Luffy's transformation is more typical of a zoan type DF than a paramecia. What specifically is kaido talking about?
Well out of all the DFs, zoans are the only type that specifically enhance physical strength. Some paramecia allow the users to transform and in doing so enhance their bodies, like the spring fruit or the mochi fruit. But those DFs won't directly enhance your body like a zoan. Every zoan makes the user more muscular, and this seems like an ability almost exclusive to zoans. Kata can make his body bigger and in doing so become stronger, but he can't increase his muscle mass like chopper can with heavy point.
Most zoan hybrids have this effect, so does the gomu gomu no mi. Pre-awakening, this wasn't too clear. However Luffy still had superhuman strength and could buff himself via G4. But with awakening, this is abundantly clear, Luffy literally has his own version of heavy point which he showcased at the end of 1044 and the beginning of 1045.
You know who else has a similar transformation? Urouge, which is why I think its very likely he has a mythical zoan. What could his zoan be?
I believe that Urouge has the Hito hito no mi model: Arahant or whatever the japanese term for an arahant is.

In buddhism, an Arahant is a person who has acheived enlightenment. Its like a buddha although, at least in theravada, a buddha achieves enlightenment on their own without outside help.A buddhist who acheives enlightenment would be an arahant, but not a buddha, as they would be following the instructions laid out by the buddha himself and other monks. Siddhartha Gautama didn't have any of this, which is why he is special, why he is the buddha.
Anyways in mythology, arahants are said to have mystical powers, which could explain Urouge's abilities. Ultimately, I think it would make a lot of sense and it would fit well with urouge's character as a monk.
