Aristocrow is a crow and an occasional assistant of Steam Smythe. It first appeared in Bon Voyage.
Appearance[]
Aristocrow appears as a normal Earth crow with a top hat similar to Steam Smythe's, which is decorated with a sprocket that Steam Smythe found when he was a lad.[3][1]
In many of its appearances, it wears a monocle.
Personality[]
Aristocrow often flip-flops between serving Steam Smythe and helping Team Tennyson. Despite it's tendency to double-cross Steam Smythe, the two are often able to make up and resume their schemes.
History[]
Background[]
Steam Smythe raised Aristocrow since it was an egg.[3][1]
Ben 10[]
In Bon Voyage, Aristocrow assisted Steam Smythe in activating a trapdoor on a hot-air balloon, releasing steam-powered piranhas into Blue Bear Bay.
In The Nature of Things, Aristocrow initially assisted Steam Smythe in his plans to harvest steam for the Smytherator, so he could begin a new era of steam power. However, after being on the receiving end of Steam Smythe's verbal abuse, Aristocrow switched sides and joined Team Tennyson. It led Steam Smythe (in his Steam Smasher) to muds pots, halting the robot's movement. After Omni-Enhanced Four Arms was trapped in the grasp of the Steam Smasher, Aristocrow distracted Steam Smythe, loosening his grip and allowing Ben to take down Steam Smythe. In the aftermath, Aristocrow was unimpressed by Ben's pun of calling it "Aristobro".
In Beware the Scare-Crow, Aristocrow was revealed to have rejoined Steam Smythe, after being swayed by corn. It donned the disguise of a scarecrow to help Steam Smythe recover his farm from Mac Bennyson. However, after Humungousaur destroyed a large portion of the corn field on the farm, Aristocrow abandoned Steam Smythe once more.
In Falls, Falls, Falls, Aristocrow was presumed by Max and Gwen to have been tasked by Steam Smythe to guard the hydro-machines. However, the Steam Smythe was unaware of this, and Aristocrow instead informed Gwen and Max on how to turn off the hydro-machines. Despite this, Aristocrow still tried to save Steam Smythe when he was about to ride down a waterfall in a barrel. Both were then arrested by the police.
In Medieval Upheaval, Aristocrow joined Steam Smythe at Biggie Box as he was building his time machine from scraps. However, it accidentally laid an egg, which had its yolk spilled over the machine's cogs, causing the machine to malfunction and blast off elsewhere. Later, it was seen mourning Steam Smythe, until the latter was launched by Omni-Kix Cannonbolt all the way back to Biggie Box.
