Astrodactyl is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an unknown species from the planet 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 is capable of flying through the aid of his 'jetpack', and with his retractable wings proving stability for this ability. He can create a propulsion blast from his jetpack using some kind of internalized star power[DJW 2] to enhanced his flight.
Astrodactyl's star power can be used to create different forms of weapons[DJW 2], the most common weapon being energy whips. He can also use his star power to fire an energy beam from his mouth.[1]
Astrodactyl can survive in the vacuum of space.[2][DJW 3]
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 escape from[3] and pull one of the Techadon Robots tied up to his energy whips.[4] He was also able to carry Negative Brainstorm without the aid of his jetpack.[1]
Weaknesses
Much like Humungousaur, Astrodactyl is vulnerable to electricity.[1]
