Ghostfreak

Ghostfreak is an Ectonurite (ecto playing on ectoplasm) from the planet Anur Phaetos (phaetos playing on Phaëton). It is the 10th Alien to appear on the show.

Abilities


Ghostfreak is a shadowy, phantom-like alien, and has protoplasm that can change its body density. This enables him to phase through matter and turn invisible at will. He may have only one eye, but he can position it anywhere on his body by using a track traced along his skin. His appearance can also bring fear in the hearts of people everywhere, and sometimes even Ben is creeped out.

Ghostfreak can also peel back his own skin, which reveals a horrifying mass of innards. Direct light and chemicals that can affect his body will nullify his invisibility and intangibility. He is also not meant for extreme combat. He was removed from the omnitrix when he escaped because Ectonurites have the miraculous ability to pocess life from the singlest strand of DNA. He was trapped inside of the Omnitrix again before Ben incinerated in Be Afraid of the Dark.

Ectonurites are perhaps the most frightening creatures in the galaxy. With an exposed and upside-down skull for a head, only one eye, dark blue skin, exposed bones on certain parts of their bodies, and blue claws, with which Ectonurites seem as if they belong in a horror film. Like any ghost, Ectonurites can phase through walls and make themselves invisible. They can also possess people for limited periods of time. Ectonurites also have powerful psychic abilities such as telepathy and telekinesis, but the extent of these abilities remains unclear and has not been shown in the series. Except in the episode where Ghostfreak frees himslef. He harrasses Ben by blowing stuff up in the Chem Lab.

Weaknesses
Direct exposure to sunlight can greatly harm and even kill Ghostfreak without the second layer of skin. Certain substances can also neutralize his phasing ability and his invisibility. The exposure may be a side effect from the seperation between Ben and Ghostfreak.

Planet
Though many legends have long spoken of it as the center where galactic chaos springs forth, not much is known about the shadowy world of Anur Phaetos. Some say it is more of a dimensional realm than a planet. Lacking individuality, Ectonurites seem to be part of a dark mass consciousness that literally composes the fabric of their domain. Since no voyager has ever returned to tell tales of a visit and there is scant evidence as to the true nature of its existence, Anur Phaetos remains the galaxy’s most dangerous mystery.
