Stinkfly

Stinkfly is the Codon Stream's DNA sample of a Lepidopterran. He is the seventh Omnitrix alien to appear in the series.

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, Stinkfly is extremely vulnerable to any kind of chemical poison or gas. Although his exoskeleton body is fairly strong, his 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.

Ben 10
He made his debut in Washington B.C., when Ben saved Gwen from falling off a pillar. He later destroyed Animo's transmodulator. He was later used in The Krakken, to save Captain Shaw from Jonah Melville. He was used again in Tourist Trap, pranking another kid. He later was used in Kevin 11 to get himself and Kevin away from the police. He was later used in Secrets to try to escape Vilgax. He stopped Old Faithful guyser from going off in The Big Tick and failed to stop The Great One. He was used three times by Kevin in Framed, mostly to get away and his head was seen on Heatblast. He was later used in Camp Fear to deal with the spores planted by the Mycelium. He was later used to try to catch up to the Forever Knights in Ultimate Weapon, but failed. He and Gwen caught a criminal in Tough Luck and in They Lurk Below, he helped Gwen and Edwin escape the Cyber Squids. He appeared 6 times in Back With a Vengeance to battle Vilgax and Kevin. Ben and Ben 10,000 used him in Ben 10,000 to fight Animo and Vilgax. He was later used to stop a fire created by Charmcaster in A Change of Face. He later gave the gifts to children in Merry Christmas. In Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures, he made fun of handy-buddy, doggy-buddy, and fire-buddy. He caught some criminals with help from Max and Gwen(although he didn't admit it) in The Return. A baby Stinkfly(Stinkyfly) appeared in Don't Drink the Water. He caught some more criminals in the beginning of Ben 10 vs. the Negative 10 (Part 1).
