Description
I have returned! I sincerely hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving (for those that celebrate it anyway), so before we all explode and splatter our food-filled guts across the walls and floors, I bring you another entry in the steadily growing list of my alien catalog!

Now Derrick J. Wyatt is notorious for throwing out the names of fake Ben 10 aliens among the reals ones to throw nosy fans of the show off the trail so that the eventual debut will be more of a surprise than a somewhat cheap thriller (think of it like that one guy that spoils the movie you were waiting to see all week). Some fans have taken these names and made actual aliens out of them and, with the assistance and at the request of the aforementioned , I have done the same.

Onto the facts!

Name: The Sledge

Species: Nar Ti

Homeworld: Rae Hekil

Powers/abilities: The Sledge can generate patches of ice through touch, allowing him to freeze objects and opponents through simple contact and encase them in a layer of ice for restriction of movements and other purposes.

The odd, ski-like structures on Nar Ti feet are actually highly developed talons that have evolved over millions of years to allow them to slide and skate across slippery surfaces. When combined with their cyro-contact capabilities, this let them easily cover incredibly long distances without ever tiring out, allowing them to chase enemies and exhaust them to the point of easy capture.

The long claws on the end of each of The Sledge's hands act like ski poles and let them gain traction during their long "ski trips". Their arms move in a circular, gear-like, one over the other motion that lets them do this for hours on end without getting tired. These claws can also be used as weapons and are durable enough to tear through most types of metals with relative ease.

The three fins on the Nar Ti's head let them speak telepathically with one another through gamma rays, thanks to bioelectrical generatoring cells in their brains. This suggests that the Nar Ti have a somewhat more advanced intelligence as well, though they lack anything resembling mouths at all to vocalize this.

Nar Ti have good night vision thanks to their large eyes and the fact that Rae Hekil is almost always ina state of perpetual darkness.

The spots on a Nar Ti's body are bioluminescent in nature, allowing them to spot and communicate with one another over long distances that exceed their telepathic range.

The Sledge can survive in any type of sub-zero environment.

Weaknesses: The Sledge's specialized hands make it difficult for him to manipulate objects that require extra dexterity, such as phones, control panels, steering mechanisms, and door knobs and handles.

The Sledge relies entirely on his ice-generating abilities to move around. Walking is very awkward and very slow for him, thus making him an easier target to hit in the middle of fights if he is hindered in any way.

Nar Ti lack mouths entirely, as they have little to no need for them in the first place since they do most of their communicating with their minds. This actually makes it very difficult for them to communicate with species whose cells are vulnerable to gamma radiation, such as humans, which makes it difficult for them to communicate with allies.

Nar Ti don't do well in heat of any kind and cannot be in temperatures over 60 degrees, lest they become horribly sick.

The Sledge's skin is highly conduct, which allows his species to communicate with one another. This also unfortunately means that he's highly vulnerable to powerful charges of electricity.

Trivia: The species name comes from "narty", which is the Polish word for "ski".

The Nar Ti homeworld comes from the "ray hkell", the Burmese word for "ice".

The Sledge shares some similarities to the description of the Venber from the Animorphs series.

The Sledge has an unexplainable, yet unmistakable odor to him that smells strongly of fish.

Because they lack mouths and communicate through gamma rays, Nar Ti "eat" by absorbing the nutrients in the ice of their homeworld through their skin. They speak with other alien species whose cells are easily damaged by gamma radiation through a series of taps and clicks of their claws similar to that of Morse code while their bioluminescence helps convey emotion or emphasis to the conversation at hand.

The Nar Ti are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs. They often form breeding pairs on their homeworld where either partner behaves as the male or female over a brood of offspring.

Rae Hekil - the Nar Ti homeworld - is a frozen wasteland upon which ones breath has been known to freeze solid while still inside their lungs, requiring most alien species to wear protective gear when they visit the planet-wide tundra. Beneath the layers of ice created by generation upon generation of Nar Ti are vast oceans home to extraterrestrial aquatic life that the Nar Ti often harvest - using their incredible long and sharp claws like spears to both fish and cut holes in the ice - for offworld export. The Nar Ti are a nomadic species and never stay in one place for too long, lest the nutrients in the permafrost of their homeworld run out in a particular area.
