Astrodactyl

Astrodactyl is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an unknown species from Terradino.

Appearance
Astrodactyl resembles a cross between a Pterodactyl and a glider. He has a large yellow beak-like mouth, green eyes, red skin, black and green clothing on his shoulders and waist, green braces around his wrists and ankles, and small, yellow, retractable wings that resemble a glider in appearance which are connected to a 'jetpack' like structure on his back.

Astrodactyl wears the Omnitrix symbol on his left shoulder.

Powers and Abilities
Astrodactyl has the ability to fly with his 'jetpack'.

Astrodactyl has some kind of internalized star power, which he can use as propulsion for flight, and different forms of weapons. The weapons shown are energy whips, a propulsion effect from his jetpack, and an energy beam from his mouth.

Astrodactyl can survive in the vacuum of space.

Astrodactyl was shown to have a degree of enhanced strength, as he was able to rip off goo that was difficult for Ben and Rook to get off. And he also shows his strength by carrying Albedo in his Negative Brainstorm form without the aid of his rockets, as well as pull one of the Techadon Robots tied up to his energy whips.

Weaknesses
Astrodactyl is vulnerable to electricity.

Trivia

 * When Astrodactyl talks or becomes excited, he "squawks" like a parrot.
 * Astrodactyl was designed by Steven Choi.
 * Astrodactyl shares the same homeplanet as Humungousaur.
 * Astrodactyl looks similar to Jetray in both design and the powers. Because of this, as well as Jetray's absence in Omniverse, it is assumed Astrodactyl was created as a replacement for Jetray.
