Description
Diamondhead (voiced by Jim Ward in the TV series and by Daran Norris in the live-action movie) is a Petrosapien ("Petro-" referring to rocks, "sapien" referring to an intelligent being; Petrosapien would mean "intelligent rock") from the planet Petropia (a combination of the Greek "Petro-" and "topos", forming a word similar to "rock place"). Petropia was a crystal-covered world, and its inhabitants are silicon-based lifeforms.[9] The planet was destroyed by Vilgax with assistance from Tetrax, who unknowingly helped him create the weapon that destroyed his home.

Made from an extremely durable crystal, Diamondhead is nearly invulnerable. Additionally, his sharp crystal body discourages physical contact, as crystal spikes can be grown almost instantly from any point of contact and retracted just as quickly.[9] Diamondhead can also alter his own physiology, allowing him to regrow lost limbs if necessary.[10] Light-based weapons are also useless against Diamondhead, as his crystal body acts as a prism, refracting light and beam-based weaponry and sending it back at its source. He can also spread diamonds on to objects to protect them.

Offensively, Diamondhead can fashion crude weapons from his body, and can even fire crystal shards as projectiles. He can grow crystal on other objects as well. Diamondhead is also far stronger than a normal human, which when combined with his self-fashioned weapons allows him to slice through objects with ease.

The one drawback to Diamondhead's crystal form is the crystal itself, which will shatter if exposed to sufficiently strong sonic vibrations or if smashed against a tough object. While Petrosapiens can regenerate limbs, there is a limit to how much damage they can recover from.[9]

Ben first transforms into Diamondhead in "And Then There Were 10" when he needed to destroy Vilgax's giant robot
