Ripjaws

Ripjaws is the Codon Stream's DNA sample of a Piscciss Volann from the planet Piscciss.

Appearance
Ripjaws shares a number of traits of Earth aquatic life, alligators, eels, anglerfish and sharks. He can change between a fish tail or legs at will, and has a phosphorescent light on his head. He is able to breathe underwater, as well as swim at high speeds with amazing agility and can also withstand very strong water pressure. His angler allows him to see in dark areas. His body was mostly grey. He wore the Omnitrix symbol on his left torso.

In Ultimate Alien, Ripjaws has eye brows and has catlike eyes. Also he now has chestplates. His tail has triangular lines and is grey as seen in the Perplexahedron, his lips are green, but in the Ultimate Alien Intro, his tail is black and he has black lips. He wears the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

In Omniverse, Ripjaws looks like the original but without the lines on his tail. His eyes are green, he now has arm and neck braces, his antenna light is green, and he has a big fin on his back and his tail is now bigger, and now has a belt in place of the strap. His belt similar to that of Four Arms', Diamondheads, Eye Guys, Big Chills, Gravattacks, Shocksquatchs and Kickin Hawks. The omnitrix symbol is moved from his chest to his belt.

11 year old Ripjaws in Omniverse has a green strap on his waist. The omnitrix symbol is still on the left upper torso.

Powers and Abilities
Ripjaws has an oversized strength able to lift more than his own weight, and underwater, he can swim with high speed, probably faster than a military torpedo. His big jaws and sharp teeth have proven to be his most deadly weapon, being able to literally shred even metal from submarines.

His body has also great endurance (underwater) and can withstand high pressures, meaning he possess the nature of abyssal aquatic life, hence his blank eyes and the anglerfish light in his forehead, which can serve as a spotlight in dark areas.

He displays the distinctive feature of turning his legs into a fish's tail and vice-versa, giving him a merman-like appearance underwater, while outside the water environment, he displays a loincloth with a similar pattern to his tail (implying the loincloth wraps around his legs, fusing with it and becoming the tail).

Weaknesses
Ripjaws's greatest weakness is his inability to stay out of water for too long, requiring water to keep him from dehydrating.
