Wildmutt
Wildmutt is a Vulpimancer from the garbage planet Vulpin (a play on vulpine, which means fox). Ben first transformed into Wildmutt in “And Then There Were 10″ after his second experiment with the Omnitrix. This was Ben’s first intentional transformation.
Wildmutt is a vaguely dog-like alien whose physical features are a cross between a lion and a gorilla. Ben 10,000’s Wildmutt has much more pronounced feline traits, including stripes and a tail. Wildmutt’s powerful arms allows him to run, jump, and climb objects at high speeds, in addition to making him fairly strong. Wildmutt has no eyes, but has gills on his neck which allow him to hear and smell many times better than humans, giving him radar-like sight which is depicted as functioning somewhat like a thermograph sensor. According to various profiles on Wildmutt, the porcupine-like quills on his back supplement his radar sight and can also serve as weapons, either protecting Wildmutt while he’s rolling or as projectiles which can be fired off at will. This ability is unique to adult Vulpimancers, and since Ben’s version is only ten years old, these quills haven’t developed. Wildmutt’s weakness, though it is rarely an issue, is his lack of sight, which can be impeded through various means, and he is rendered effectively useless if his nostrils are clogged. Wildmutt is also the only Omnitrix alien who cannot speak in any understandable fashion, communicating through snarls and growls, which can be a problem when attempting to relay messages or avoid conflict.
