Wildmutt

Wildmutt is the Codon Stream's DNA sample of a Vulpimancer from planet Vulpin.

Appearance
Wildmutt appears to be like a big, orange dog with no eyes or tail. His teeth are very defined and stick out of his mouth. Wildmutt has no eyes, instead using his sense of smell and hearing in vision's place, which are aided by three nostrils located on each side of his neck.

In the original series, Wildmutt wore a brace with the Omnitrix symbol on his left shoulder.

In Ultimate Alien, Wildmutt wears the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest and has orange lips rather than black. He also appears smaller than the original series version. He has also been given a lighter shade of orange.

Powers and Abilities
thumb|left|400px Wildmutt possesses high agility that makes him able to run, jump and climb on objects at high velocity. Most notable, Wildmutt has incredible heat vision, similar to pit vipers, that allows him to perceive thermal signatures of anything. Wildmutt's sense of smell is very well developed. He's able to track people from their scent, even if they are many miles away. Wildmutt has enhanced strength. He possesses sharp claws. While Wildmutt is normally quadrupedal, he can stand on his hind legs and brandish his front paws into fists. Wildmutt has the ability to shoot quills from his back, like a porcupine myth, but this has been unseen.

Weaknesses
Wildmutt can't talk, instead, he communicates through a combination of barking and snarling, due to this, it is extremely hard to understand him. When he has a cold, the noses on his neck get blocked, making him blind. His senses are very sensitive, making him pretty much vulnerable to anything that can overwhelm his senses such as a loud sound or a strong smell.

Alternate Timeline
In an alternate timeline, Wildmutt grows larger. He also has stripes on his back and has sprouted a tail. His appearance has shifted to a more feline form.

Wildmutt wears the Omnitrix symbol on his forehead.

 * According to Dwayne, Vulpimancers do have a language, but it is too difficult for Universal Translators to translate. Vulpimancers are unable to speak English and Ben doesn't know the Vulpimancer language, so Wildmutt can't use it. Thus, Wildmutt can't reason with other Vulpimancers.
