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 luminescent angler allows him to see in dark areas. His body was mostly grey.

In Ultimate Alien, Ripjaws has eye brows similar to Rath and has catlike eyes. Also he now has chestplates like Humungousaur. His tail now has triangular lines and is grey as seen in the Perplexahedron, but in the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien intro his tail is black.

Powers and Abilities
Ripjaws uses his claw-tipped fins and razor-sharp teeth to attack enemies with strength superior to a person.

Ripjaws' powerful jaws can bite through metal.

Ripjaws can unhinge his lower jaw to swallow large objects in a single bite.

Ripjaws can transform his legs into a fish-like tail and vice versa.

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