Its head also has a sort of "xenomorph" feel to it, but with four flexible eye stalks sprouting out the sides overall pretty unique!Īnother of the original ten, Ripjaws was relatively seldom used, since it was mostly applicable when Ben needed to swim.
This design was a nice one, having a more traditional "space alien" sort of feel than some of his others, and looking like an alien lifeform that only coincidentally resembles an Earth insect. One of the original ten, this insectoid was Ben's go-to flying mode at the time, but flight wasn't necessarily its main theme or gimmick rather, the alien is best known for its sticky, stinking slime, which had a variety of properties and could be spewed, strangely enough, from both its mouth and its eyes. For now, we'll just be looking at those aliens included in some incarnation of the Omnitrix itself! With hundreds of known aliens in this canon, I obviously have a lot of personal favorites, and because my tastes are what they are, a Spooky-Season list of his creepiest, crawliest and slimiest happens to include every favorite I could ever want to cover.though we're not going to get into villains, non-alien monsters or other peripheral creature designs. If it always flew under your radar as well, the intro should tell you all you need to know - except for the backstory that Ben's alien gizmo, the Omnitrix, is basically an archive of DNA from legendary heroes throughout the galaxy, and the ten forms he has access to would cycle regularly as the series progressed.until at last it turned out that, at fully functional capacity, the Omnitrix gives it wearer access to thousands of forms at once. I was over drinking age when it debuted, but that's never stopped me before, so maybe there was just something about its particular writing and characters that never fully grabbed me? Regardless, it's a series I'd have been a maniac for if it had coincided with my childhood, and I'm still pretty thoroughly familiar with its alien designs.
Can you believe Ben 10 has been a major Cartoon Network property for fifteen years? It's not one I ever personally "got into," and I can't say for certain why that is.
