Description
The aquatic alien Ripjaws (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) is a Piscciss Volann of the water planet Piscciss. Part alligator, part eel, part anglerfish, and part shark; Ripjaws is almost unmatched when in his element.[16]

Being from a water-covered world, Ripjaws' foremost asset is his ability to breathe underwater. As the form best equipped for underwater combat, Ripjaws is usually Ben's way to deal with aquatic opponents. Possessing a powerful tail and slimy scales, Ripjaws can swim at high speeds and with amazing agility. Ripjaws can also withstand a remarkable amount of pressure, and his luminescent dangler allows him to see in the darkest of depths (or otherwise dark areas). To attack his opponents, Ripjaws has claw-tipped fins and a huge mouth filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth. His lower jaw can unhinge to allow him to swallow objects in a single bite.

As a downside to being an aquatic alien, Ripjaws is rendered almost useless out of the water, requiring almost constant exposure to water to keep from rapidly dehydrating, causing him to suffocate on dry land.[16] Ripjaws has a pair of legs hidden within his tail, allowing him to move on land, but is still subject to the necessity for water.

Ben first transformed into Ripjaws in "The Krakken" in order to take the Krakken's eggs back from Jonah Melville. Due to the extremely specific conditions required to maintain Ripjaws, he has become more of an auxiliary alien. As such, he is one of the least-used forms on the Omnitrix.
