Stinkfly

Stinkfly is the Codon Stream's D.N.A sample of a Lepidopterran.

Abilities
In any situation requiring flight, Stinkfly is Ben's alien of choice. Stinkfly's thin, rapidly flapping wings allow him to move at high speeds in the air and dodge attacks just as quickly. Stinkfly also possesses disproportionate strength, enough to carry people and objects heavier than himself. Stinkfly's four eye stalks give him a wide range of vision from the sky, including the ability to look directly behind himself.

Stinkfly can excrete high-pressure streams of liquids from the pollen ducts in his eye stalks and mouth. The type of liquid can range from a flammable toxin to an immobilizing jelly. In Don't Drink the Water, Ben's child form of Stinkfly, Stinkyfly could emit a powerful herbicide gas through flatulation, it is unknown if older Stinkfly can do this. It is shown in Forge of Creation, he shot a light blue beam when Ultimate Swampfire trapped Aggregor with his vines. For melee combat, Stinkfly has a sharp tail and four pincers in its legs.

Weaknesses
Like most insects, Lepidopterrans are extremely vulnerable to any kind of chemical poison or gas. Although their exoskeleton bodies are fairly strong, their wings are quite fragile. Water is especially a problem for Stinkfly, as it can render him incapable of flight if too much gets on his wings.

Furthermore, he is unable to swim due to the small surface area of his limbs. A more minor inconvenience is Stinkfly's intense body odor (hence the name), so hiding can be a problem when Ben transforms into Stinkfly.

Stinkfly in Ultimate Alien into looks different with lighter green skin, and the Ultimatrix symbol has been relocated to his chest and colored green. Also, his hands and eyes are now green and his teeth are white and more human like.
