While i do find the idea of an evil/twisted version of the Omnitrix interesting, I'm having a hard time grasping one thing; the idea of predator aliens.

From what i gather, the Nemetrix can only be worn by feral creatures like Lions or Wolves, because the alien DNA is too savage for a sentient lifeform to handle. But with that in mind, that sort of implies that the Omnitrix can only be used by sentient creatures, ones with intelligence on par with humans at the very least. This brings me to my issue with the Nemetrix concept, why would a sentient lifeform have a natural predator?

Like i said, if the aliens in the Omnitrix are supposed to be creatures with sentience on par with humans, how could they have natural predators, humans certainly don't have any. Sure, we might be afraid of the occassional Tiger Shark eating us, but that's not the same as the predator/prey relationship of, say, a lion and a zebra or a wolf and a caribou, which is pretty much the relationship the Omnitrix and Nemetrix aliens.

What gives?
