Chromastone

Chromastone is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Crystalsapien.

Appearance
Chromastone is a silicon based alien made of extremely durable crystal. His body is overall purple, with several dark lines and spots. His hands and face are magenta, and he also sports six magenta shards on his back, two on his chest, and one on the top of his head that resembles a horn. His face consists of a mouth and one large green eye at the center.

In Heroes United, Chromastone has green teeth and some of his dark lines are missing.

In Omniverse, Chromastone's first appearance looked exactly the same as he was in Alien Force/Ultimate Alien, except that the crystals on his back and head were much longer.

The Prototype Omnitrix/Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol used to be on Chromastone's chest.

In A New Dawn, Chromastone gets a new appearance. He now wears a green jumpsuit with white stripes on the waist and green-and-white striped gauntlets on his wrists and legs. He has three spikes on each shoulder and arm, as well as some on his knees and four extra spikes on the side of his head. The spikes on his chest are gone. His neck is longer. His face now has a magenta chin that resembles a mouth guard, and he now speaks without moving his mouth at all. Similar to Pre-Blossomed Swampfire, he has five fingers on his hand. The Omnitrix is now on his right pectoral.

Powers and Abilities
Chromastone has the ability to allow energy to phase through his body without harm, as well as absorb various forms of energy and channel it into ultraviolet beams, which can annihilate entire turrets or melt through a truck trailer.

Chromastone can project a beam of light for illumination purposes and generate light from his hands. He can also launch the blasts without absorbing anything, but to a limited extent.

Chromastone has very dense, crystallic skin, which gives him enhanced durability. He also possesses enhanced strength.

Chromastone is capable of flight. In rare cases, Chromastone can leave a multicolored energy trail while flying.

Due to being made of crystal, Chromastone is also immune to a Xenocyte merging with him.

Weaknesses
Chromastone is unable to absorb energy when not expecting it or is too weak to do so.

Chromastone is unable to absorb electricity while it is being conducted by water.

Chromastone has a limit to how much energy he can absorb at once, as once he tried to absorb the energy of the sorcerer's engine, but was instead disintegrated.
