The Antitrix Animals are a group of ordinary Earth animals that were mutated by Dr. Animo using the Antitrix's DNA.
Appearance[]
The Antitrix aliens varied widely in their appearances depending on what animal they were and what DNA was used to mutate them:
- Deer with Wreckingbolt's shell and antlers resembling Crystalfist's crystals.
- A canine-like species with traits from Hot Shot, notably his flaming head.
- Horses with Thornblade's elements, such as his collar.
- Monkeys with Thornblade's vines in place of their tails and Dark Matter's head.
- Boars with Hot Shot's rocky body and Bootleg's circuitry.
- Birds with Rush's armor.
- A pterosaur-like species with Skunkmoth's wing shape.
Like all Antitrix aliens, the animals have glowing red eyes when not under the control of Dr. Animo. While under Animo's control, their eyes glowed white.
History[]
Ben 10[]
In The Monsters in Your Head, it was revealed that sometime following Roundabout: Part 2, Dr. Animo had retrieved Kevin from the Forever Knight's time portal. Promising to upgrade the Antitrix, he instead stole the DNA matrix, and used it to create an army of animals amalgamated with the alien DNA.
Sometime later, Team Tennyson traveled to the island Animo was operating on in search of alien activity. They found the animals in a secret underground compound, only for the docile creatures to turn on them and begin stampeding. After running into each other, Kevin and Ben confronted Animo, who commanded his animals to fight them. Upon finding out that Animo was mind-controlling the aliens, Shock Rock and Dark Matter took to destroying their collars, freeing the animals.
While Ben and Kevin continued to fight Dr. Animo, Max and Gwen recruited the animals to go after Animo, chasing him out of the compound.
Powers and Abilities[]
The Antitrix aliens varied widely in their abilities, depending on what animal they were and what DNA was used to mutate them:
- The deer can enter a spherical form like Wreckingbolt.
- The canine-like species have strong teeth, being able to destroy Dr. Animo's mind-control device.
- The monkeys' tails can elongate like Thornblade's vines.
- The boars can spew fire from their mouths like Hot Shot.
- The pterosaur-like species are strong enough to carry a throne with Dr. Animo and two other animals standing on it.
