DNAliens



DNAliens are part-human, part-alien drones who serve the Highbreed despite their racism. They often use special identity masks that can make them appear human. They also thrive on cold weather such as snow, so heat damages them beyond repair, so Swampfire's heat blasts are an effective weapon against the DNAliens. They are created when a Xenocyte bonds with a human and turns it into a DNAlien, as explained by a DNAlien in which the DNAlien half of the parasite controls the human half because the human half is "repulsive" to them. These parasites were going to be shipped off in large trucks possibly all over Earth, but were destroyed thanks to the efforts of Ben (as Jetray) Gwen, Kevin, and Gwen's brother, Ken.

Appearances in the Series

 * One example of these parasites is when Ken was forcefully turned into an almost-complete DNAlien, but when Ben tried to remove it, Ben somehow entered the Omnitrix which possessed a computer voice and asked Ben for the option to remove the "severe genetic damage" caused and within the Omnitrix removed the DNAlien parasite completely.
 * In Inside Man, a 26-year old Tyler is transformed into a DNAlien but somehow resisted the "DNAlien programming" meaning he was transformed into a DNAlien but he can still think like a normal human (although in the beginning of the episode he was very confused). Ben, Gwen and Kevin rescue Tyler from the DNAlien who wants to reprogram him. Ben then transforms Tyler back into a human.


 * Ben and his team turned the DNAliens back into humans using the Omnitrix and a weapon that has the same effect created by Cooper.
 * They smell bad apparently.
 * As seen in Ben 10 Alien Force (Video Game) that Xenocytes can mix with other alien species, for example, a Pyronite, Vulpimancer, Florauna, and a Null Guardian. However, they are unable to attach to Chromastone, likely because his structure is too strong to merge with, and it is unknown if they have an effect on a more mechanical species, such as a Galvanic Mechamorph.
 * A DNAlien showed up in a commercial with a playlist of other omnitrix/ultimatrix aliens. Dwayne McDuffie confirmed that it was wrong and that Ben cannot access DNAliens, because they are human/xenocyte hybrids (making them mutants and not aliens).
