Stinkfly

Stinkfly is the Codon Stream's DNA sample of a Lepidopterran from the planet Lepidopterra.

Appearance
Stinkfly has a bug/insect body and 4 insect-like flat legs with 2 arms whose hands are human-style ones with a black coloration, similar to fingerless gloves, and 3 clawed fingers. He has 4 pedunculated eyes that are pretty small and yellowish-orange in color. These eyes are linked directly to the sides of his huge black head. His wings are very fragile with lines on them. His limbs are a brown-greenish color, but his wings are light green. Stinkfly bears the Omnitrix symbol on the top of his forehead.

In Ultimate Alien, Stinkfly's Ultimatrix symbol is on his chest, his eyes are green and he no longer wears gloves.

In Omniverse Stinkfly's wings are bigger and his clothes now spread over his forehead. He has lighter skin and the Omnitrix is now on his forehead.

Powers and Abilities
Stinkfly's wings allow him to fly at high speeds.

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, Stinkfly can fire light blue energy beams from his eyes.

Stinkfly's tail can cut through metal.

Weaknesses
Stinkfly is extremely weak to any kind of chemical poison or gas.

Although his exoskeleton body is fairly strong, Stinkfly's wings are very 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 odor, so hiding from anything or anyone that can smell can be a problem.
