Upchuck

Upchuck is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of the Perk and Murk races of Gourmand from the planet Peptos XI.

Appearance
Upchuck has green skin, six sprout-like growths on the back of his head, a dark-green patch of skin on his head, light-green skin on his face and belly and crooked teeth. He also has a green tail.

In the original series, Upchuck was a Perk Gourmand, and wore a black open-front suit with white over-sleeves and white bands around his legs and white padding under his three-toed feet and wears the Omnitrix symbol on his left hand.

In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Upchuck is a Murk Gourmand, appearing with swampy-green skin, tanned stomach and muzzles, black digits and black-green spots on his tail, limbs, hips on his back. His eyes are now sharper, look pupil-less and green. His teeth are now more aligned with visibly sharp canine teeth. He wears the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol on his stomach.

In Heroes United, Murk Upchuck's black lines on his face are longer, reaching his mouth. Also, he only has two lines instead of three. His claws are attached to his hands through finger stubs.

In Omniverse, 16 year old Upchuck has two different looks, due to there being two races of Gourmands catalogued in the Omnitrix. Perk Upchuck closely resembles his 11 year old form without clothes. Murk Upchuck resembles his Alien Force/Ultimate Alien design except that his claws are longer and bigger, his sprouts are brighter and he has less spots on his body. He has only two teeth.

11 year old Ben as Perk Upchuck in Omniverse looks almost the same as the original series, but now has green eyes the Omnitrix symbol on his left hand is now green, and he doesn't have the padding on his feet.

Powers and Abilities
Upchuck has four very strong, adhesive tongues that can stretch to great lengths, allowing Upchuck to latch onto large objects and reel them in with relative ease.

Upchuck's mouth and stomach can stretch, allowing him to swallow and digest objects larger than himself.

Upchuck possesses several acid-filled stomachs that dissolve almost all forms of matter.

The items ingested are converted into explosive balls of liquids that can be expelled with great accuracy. He can also make them curve, like a boomerang, shuriken, or frisbee.

Upchuck is able to take a surprising amount of punishment for a creature of its size, taking the force of a moving car impact as well as surviving after being thrown through a wall.

In Duped, it is shown that Murk Upchuck can spit out slime.

Upchuck can eat and spit out energy, such as lasers, in the same way he eats and spits out acid matter.

In Heroes United, Murk Upchuck was capable of eating Alpha's containment ball, demonstrating to have very strong and durable tongues, as the ball weighed an immeasurable amount.

Weaknesses
Murk Upchuck has a limit to how many big objects he can swallow at once.

Murk Upchuck is also slow when he eats a lot of things and becomes excessively fat. Otherwise, he is somewhat quick, considering his small size.

If Murk Upchuck does not spit out something he eats, he will get very fat until he spits it out.

In Ben 4 Good Buddy, it's revealed that Perk Upchuck cannot consume organic matter.
