Does Skurd really feed on DNA ? isn't the DNA in the omnitrix computerized data only (how can he feed on that?), which the omnitrix uses to change Ben's DNA structure to that of the Chosen Alien. Maybe skurd just wants the DNA structures to change some of his and for him it's like eating. Yeah you do that. She's stuck on a shelf no going anywhere anyway. Tiny and in a bag no less, unless you take her out. ;)

He said he ate DNA which also confused me considering the DNA is digital but hey, he can make constructs so he's doing something right. Is DNA even edible? Also Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is stored in cells and in Cell Divison, each cell contains it's own copy of the DNA structure. So if Skurd would eat the DNA then the omnitrix, which stores DNA as digitized data, is not a good host sincee he won't be able to eat those data. It also doesn't seem like he's eating Ben's DNA, and if he does so then it would be obvious since he would be eating the cell which contains the DNA.

Well I don't think the staff put Genetics in mind so it's probably different.
