wait so they are like Galvanic Mechamorphs created by Galvans although they were probably created in the past when galvans were larger frog aliens with more offensive abilities

by original galvan i mean way back before sapient species existed, so when most of the universe's species were wild.
Also i like to think the galvans were like Beelzebufo

For the first thing I agree with what you said
Second thing, I always thought that way way way way way way times 100,000,000,000,000,000 years in the past Galvan were much larger and are the ancestors of the omnivoracious which were smaller and over time the positions swapped

i'd have gone with Hymenopati for species a combination of Hymenoptera the order of Ants and Pati the latin word for endurance. also can i make an alien called EndurAnt with the same abilities but different appearance & species name

i was gonna go for a more ant/beetle design with a blunt horn and a mandible mouth

not sentient, if it was sentient species then predators would count. It contains sapient species ones that can speak or are intelligent enough to do thinks like use tech or not attacks people helping them

Nice alien. Im guessing the water bear was an inspiration?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! And yep, the tardigrade was certainly an inspiration for this lil' dude.

Awesome! I’d love to have this guy in my arsenal. Darwin has always been a favorite of mine.

Thanks! Always nice to have 'useless' aliens want to, indeed, be used!

Agreed! Mole-Stache, for example, is extremely useful. Flight, Tetramand-level strength, and digging. Plus that spot-on accent!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh, not sure how strong Mole-stache is, given how he was only able to momentarily lift Fisttrick's truck, but you're not wrong!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
His entry on the Ben 10 wiki says he’s as strong as a Tetramand.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, it doesn't say that at all. It just says, and I quote, "Mole-Stache's mustache is strong enough to lift a truck", unquote. I guess it's just kind of implied or assumed.

Ok. I’m pretty sure I read it SOMEWHERE, though.

I’m really impressed, Endurant came out looking great. I am a bit shocked though since I thought you wanted to do another alien before you made him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
That was the original plan, but I couldn't get a working concept, so I decided to push it back. After all, by comparison, EndurAnt was a lot simpler to draw than the other guy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How big is Endurant size wise?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd say, in comparison to other Omnitrix aliens, probably slightly larger than Ball Weevil without his crest (which takes up about half of his height). Real-world wise, he'd be about the size of a dachshund dog.

This reminds me of a character from the X-men named Darwin. He has the power of reactive evolution as well. A lesser known mutant, but a favorite nonetheless!

As I mentioned in the Trivia section, he was one of the main inspirations

I actually really like the concept of this one. I see the point and actually took note of it. On the wiki, almost all sentient species shown have an omnitrix sample listed on their pages. I imagine Ben 10,000 has so many forms because he's got so many that are frankly mundane like you said. Some are probably no better or worse then a normal human or can't be used in most scenarios. Like a species who can only breathe liquid nitrogen or that can only survive in the heat of a planet like mercury.
Argit's Species is a prime example of a species that, while capable to some degree, wouldn't be labelled as superpowered but is well evolved. His Quills would serve great as a defensive measure against predators and stopping there pulse would obviously help play dead. He also seems willing and able to eat anything, to an almost instinctive degree. If I had to guess, Argit's Species were probably some kind of rudimentary scavangers who use the quills for self defense and hunting smaller game. They were probably low on the food chain on there homeworld.

I'm glad you like it!
I do actually have plans to start make Omnitrix aliens of some of the more notable background species in the species, like Lenopans and whatever Argit's species is (canonically) called, in addition to more aliens that are otherwise considered useless outside of extreme niche situations (like that being able to breathe liquid nitrogen one. I'm definitely going to have to do that one).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Argit’s Species isn’t named. We’re never given a name for his species and we never see another member of his kind unless you count Pierce.
Also when I said the Breathe Liquid Nitrogen, I mean they can only breathe in an environment rich with it. Earth’s Atmosphere would be toxic to them. Another example I thought of would be a Species who’s entirely suited to just eating huge amounts of a particular plant and then petrifies itself for hibernation like a caterpillar mixed with a Tardigrade.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
While that's true, I was referring to how some people (or perhaps a large portion of the fanbase, I don't know) have adopted the 5 Years Later comic's information for Omnitrix aliens/species that don't have a name or home planet yet, such is the case with Argit's species and the comic's transformation, Prick .
I figured that was the case with the nitrogen-breather, since we were on the topic of 'useless' aliens. Something that I now just realized is that virtually all of Ben's aliens are able to breath oxygen or come from planets with a breathable atmosphere for most lifeforms - only a handful, like Spitter or Swampfire, come from planets with toxic atmospheres, and even then they can handle Earth's atmosphere.
I also like the petrified caterpillar idea, but that might be getting a little too niche, at least with only being able to eat one type of plant. I think a slightly better idea would be if they eat a lot of plant matter (doesn't matter what kind, with a few exceptions) and then they go into petrified hibernation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That’s interesting. I wasn’t overly aware of that.
I think a few of those cases have more to do with some Aliens not needing a breathable atmosphere. Necrofriggians, Ectonurites, and Tokustars being examples of Species that don’t require Air. I think some might get a rebreathing device.
I just thought maybe the plant produces a chemical that induces their Petrification. In exchange for allowing the Catergrade (Caterpillar-Tardigrade) to hibernate, the Plant gets cultivated and protected by the active members of the species.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. Apparently both Butch Hartman (the comic is a crossover between Ben 10 and Danny Phantom) and Man of Action have seen the comic and have given it their official approval, so that might be one reason why some fans have accepted what information is provided as canon.
That's true, but most aliens that do breath just seem to inexplicably do so (probably for convenience sake on the creator's part). So far, none of the Omnitrix have a breathing device - the only transformations that are confirmed to have unique attachments in order to make them more useful/safe to use are Goop, NRG, and possibly Ghostfreak (due to an Ectonurite's consciousness existing on a genetic level).
Hmm, maybe instead it's more along the lines of standard hibernation, where the Catergrade would consume a lot of food in order to build up its fat reserves, like how bears do it. The only difference would be that this hibernation could be triggered at any time, rather than having it only be a seasonal occurance. The reason could be like how real tardigrades do it - to hunker down until unfavorable conditions improve, while the petrification keeps them protected from predators.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That’s great. I really like that reason. That’s some really good publicity.
I believe that Ghostfreak’s Genetic Donor was replaced. They deleted Z’skayrs genetic sample and took another from a more passive Ectonurite. I also believe that since the DNA in Ben’s Omniverse Omnitrix uses digital forms of DNA so that something like that wouldn’t happen.
I thought maybe it was something they had to do routinely for some reason. Possibly cultural, possibly biologically necessary. They’d never all do it at the same time cause someone need to protect their hibernating family/friends.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The digital DNA probably helps a lot and is probably the reason why Ben is able to safely use the Ectonurite transformation, since there's no previous donor to contend with (I highly doubt even a passive Ectonurite would let themselves be imprisoned in the Omnitrix. Seriously, by all accounts, Zy'Skayr was conscious the entire time he was stuck in the watch up until his escape).
Well, I figure that would be what the petrification bit is for. Their skin would secrete a kind of mucus that would harden like concrete around them like a cocoon, protecting them from predators and the likes while also making them immobile; since they can only secrete this mucus when hibernating, which can only be triggered after ingesting a certain amount of plant matter, this makes the Catergrade (I doubt that will be the transformation's name) useless in all but a handful of situations, such as those that would require a literal immovable object.

I think that’s actually more practical since I believe it doesn’t require Primus. Azmuth still probably keeps Primus around for other purposes like sending updates to the Omnitrix’s Database or studying the genetic information already gathered
I think it’d probably be useful against most forms of harm but some creatures might be able to get through. It’d also just be a prudent decision in case of possible natural or unnatural disasters or they just need to be moved (likely by heavy equipment). Also for a name, maybe Pillarbug or Stonepede?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, current evidence suggests that Primus was erased when Ben re-created the universe in So Long, And Thanks for All the Smoothies, but it hasn't been proven yet. I like to think that Primus still does exist and serves as a backup storage for all the DNA, since Azmuth himself states that he always has contingency plans in place (hence why he's First Thinker of Galvan Prime). Another headcanon that I've read about and have since come to adopt is that Myaxx (still working as Azmuth's underappreciated and underpaid assistant) and Eunice not only continue to maintain Primus, but have since continued the project to preserve as many species as possible, sentient or otherwise.
At the very least, it would explain where Myaxx and Eunice are during their absences in the show.
That's true. Likely the only species capable of getting through the shell would be those that naturally possess rock-breaking capabilities, like Talpaedans. As for the name, I thin Pillarbug will suffice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah that’s likely the case. Even if it was retconned away, Azmuth likely would of simply assigned them elsewhere but I think his project to preserve species would still exist.
I imagine that Pillarbug’s Species would have some natural predator or some other creature that exploits there hibernation period. I think maybe something that uses acid to corrode the stone she’ll to get to the inside.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Undoubtedly. I mean, the Omnitrix has scanned at least two new aliens since Omniverse, those being Kickin Hawk's species and the previously extinct Vladats, so it stands to reason that Azmuth's project is still ongoing.
Either an acid spray or drill-like appendage. One idea I see is a large, liquivore predator that uses a specialized horn or rasping tongue to drill a hole into the petrified chrysalis and then inject it with powerful, acidic, digestive enzymes before slurping it all back up like some kind of gross smoothie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe Kickin Hawk’s Species was already in the omnitrix and Ben just didn’t have it unlocked until that episode. If it did scan Liam to obtain his Genetic Data, Ben’s version would be identical to Liam like with the Andromeda Aliens.
I imagine it have drill like teeth that use powerful muscular tissue to spin while being coated in an acidic saliva. The drill gets past the outer Chrysalis while the Acid is meant to pre-digest the (relatively) softer inner tissue of their actual body. I say relatively cause they might be tougher then you’d expect but not enough for combat. I could see Ben finding the description gross and Rook points out it’s just like drinking a homemade smoothie
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, it's stated on the official wiki (under Kickin Hawk's page) that he and Whampire are the only aliens who were scanned into the Omnitrix in Omniverse, meaning that their DNA was previously unsampled. Also, your statement about the transformations being identical to their genetic donors is . . . well, for lack of a better term, completely wrong. This is understandable, since back in the UAF era, any other member of an Omnitrix alien species was basically a clone of that alien with no physical distinction, unlike in Omniverse, where such distinctions are the norm. To be fair though, this can only be attributed to the art style.
That, and the Omnitrix turns it's user (in this case, Ben) into the "most genetically optimal" version of that species, hence why Bullfrag looks so different from other Incurseans, whose genetics are usually hampered by a poor diet as a result of their nomadic, conquesting empire. If they were to settle down on a planet or dedicate more time to their troops, it would stand to reason that the Incurseans would all be just as buff and healthy as Bullfrag (but by no means identical).
That's pretty much the gist of it
