Galvan

Galvan are a species from the planet Galvan Prime, until it was destroyed and they rebuilt it and renamed it Galvan Mark II.

Appearance
Galvans are a species of small bipedal frog-like beings.

Being from the tiny Galvan Prime, Galvans are equally tiny, being about five inches tall on average. Their bodies consist of soft and flexible bones, allowing them to squeeze into tight spaces or quickly escape from danger.

According to Derrick Wyatt, infant Galvans have tails and lack legs, but they shed their tails and grow legs at a time they call "Wisdom Feet".

Celebrations
According to Derrick, Galvans celebrate during a time when one has Wisdom Feet.

Galvans only celebrate their every 333 birthdays.

According to Derrick, Galvans have other celebrations.

Powers and Abilities
With the microscopic pads that cover their bodies, Galvans can stick to almost any surface. Their slime makes them equally difficult to grab.

Not built for combat, Galvans can evade and outsmart their enemies, rather than fight them head on.

Galvans are naturally extremely intelligent, and can enter complex machines and operate them from the inside. This allows them to understand and operate virtually any machine, even if they've never seen it before.

According to Derrick Wyatt, Galvans have gills and are amphibious.

Gender Differences
Female Galvan grow hair, though male Galvan don't. It is unknown if they grow facial hair, though older male Galvan grow thin tendrils on their face in lieu of an actual mustache.

History
The Galvan originally had no empire to speak of, instead they were being first kept as pets and then employed by other species as industrial technicians, spies and saboteurs once their intelligence became known.

The Galvans were smart enough to keep the best secrets for themselves, eventually amassing enough knowledge to build a powerful empire of their own based on the technology they had kept from the rest of the universe.

Technology
Galvans are the creators of much of the great technology in the universe, such as the Potis Altiare, Ascalon, the Unitrix, the Omnitrix, the Ultimatrix, the Galvanic Mechamorphs, the Null Guardians, the Null Void, the Polymorphs' anti-gravity projector, Primus, Voliticus Biopsis, the third Omnitrix, Universal Translators, a Mechamorph suit and they even rebuilt Galvan Prime, calling it Galvan Mark II.
