Rath

Rath is an Appoplexian alien from the planet Appoplexia.

Ben first transformed into Rath during the episode Con of Rath.

Appearance
Rath is an alien that looks like a large 9 foot tall bipedal tiger with a large single claw coming out of both wrists, but no tail. The Omintrix symbol is on his chest. Despite the Appoplexians knowing nothing but anger & fighting, Rath is shown to be friendly towards the Tiffin.

It's also interesting to note that Rath's personality seems to mimic or reference to that of a professional wrestler, namely, Hulk Hogan but more so like a stereotypical high school jock. This is seen in Rath's tendency to use the phrase, "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, __________" when he's addressing anyone that he is angry at or about to fight (which seems to be almost everyone), which appears to be a reference to Hulk Hogans signature catch phrase, "Let me tell you something, brother!" He also calls people by their full name (e.g "Let me tell you something Kevin E. Levin!"). He is very direct and fearless to the point of reckless, he didn't hesitate to jump down Jarrett's throat to rescue the Tiffin, nor threaten to mutilate the alien king with rearangement of his organs if he started a war.

Abilities
Rath has super-human strength and agility, enabling him to jump great distances and lift objects many times his weight. He also possesses a large, extendable, black claw on each wrist. This claw can be used to stab opponents or to create a shockwave when stabbed into the ground. He is also extremely durable, being shown to be able to survive in space and take a laser blast full on with no apparent effect. Rath can roar so loud that you can see it. Even though he not the smartest of Ben`s aliens, he can perform alien fighting moves with expert succesion giving the example in Above and Beyond, He seemed to use some alien wrestling moves against Manny.

Weaknesses
Rath's only apparent weakness is his lack of intelligence and high aggression. This causes Rath to become easily distracted and difficult to stop once he starts fighting.
