Water Hazard

Water Hazard is the Codon Stream's sample of a Orishan from an unknown planet in the Andromeda Galaxy. He first appeared in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien.

Water Hazard's DNA sample was scanned from Bivalvan in the episode, Fame. Ben first uses this form in the episode To Hot To Handle when Ben tries to convince P'andor to leave planet Earth.

Powers and Abilities
Water Hazard has an armored exoskeleton which protects his body from most types of damage, including moderate amounts of radiation. He possesses limited superhuman strength and can shootthumb|300px|right pressurized water from port holes in his hands. He also appears to be at least partially amphibious. According to Dwayne McDuffie, he is also able to control and manipulate water at will and even mold it into wide variety of shapes. He can absorb moisture from the air, as seen in Hero Time through the holes in his hands, effectively pulling a reversal on his powers. although Captain Nemesis's armor was made brittle by heat before Water Hazard broke it. Water Hazard's species can take severe damage and not feel a thing (revealed in Ultimate Aggregor as Aggregor didn't feel a thing even if a house was thrown at him.)

In the Cartoon Network game, Ben 10 Game Creator, it is revealed he can create a bubble shield to protect himself, even from laser attacks.

Appearance
Water Hazard first appears in the episode Too Hot To Handle to pose as Bivalvan and convince P'andor to go home. Unfortunately, this attempt did not work, so he started trying to fight him which did not work either so he had to change aliens. He appeared again in Hero Time (first time he is named) where he powers down Overlord. He first got him wet then he absorbed the moisture from the air to make his suit shatter and then he was defeated.

Trivia

 * Water Hazard's species is the first to be scanned by the Ultimatrix.
 * Water Hazard is the first Andromeda alien form Ben used (In Too Hot To Handle)
 * Water Hazard's species is the first species from a different galaxy to be included into the Ultimatrix on-screen: the Andromeda Galaxy
 * Water Hazard is the first transformation in Ultimate Alien where Ben didn't obviously say the form's name, although he might have said it off-screen or he didn't want to give away that he wasn't Bivalvan to P'andor.
 * Each of Ben's new Andromeda alien forms control a basic element. As the name suggests, Water Hazard controls water.
 * Water Hazard is the opposite of Swampfire in many ways. Water Hazard can shoot and control water, whereas Swampfire shoots fire and controls plants. Water Hazard also has a strong and sturdy exoskeleton, while Swampfire is made of plant matter and can easily be broken, but can just as easily regenerate from such hits.
 * While Ben has four water-based aliens Water Hazard is the only one of the aliens that can actually control water.
 * When Water Hazard first appeared, his voice sounded exactly like Bivalvan. However, in his second appearance, his voice is noticeably deeper. According to Dwayne McDuffie, the reason for this is that at first Water Hazard was supposed to be a clone of Bivalvan, but later changed to help differ him from Bivalvan.
 * Despite being first used in Too Hot To Handle, Water Hazard wasn't named until in Hero Time.
 * Water Hazard is a playable character in the Ben 10: Game Creator. He shoots water blasts at an angle and makes bubble shields if you press up while in mid-air.
 * In Too Hot To Handle, Escape From Aggregor and Fame, Water Hazard's water shot is aqua green in colour, but in Hero Time, it is blue in color
 * Water Hazard's feet are similar to Chromastone's feet.
 * Water Hazard is the alien of the month of the month of January
 * One of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien comic said that Water Hazard planet is barrel desert, this is unlikely because Water Hazard's home planet is called Hydrosia, meaning water.
 * Water Hazard is one of five aliens in Cosmic Destruction that can double jump. The others are Swampfire, Big Chill, Spidermonkey, and Terraspin.
