Bashmouth is the Antitrix's DNA sample of an unknown species.[note 1]
Appearance[]
Bashmouth mirrors a cross between a husky and a werewolf.[DR 5][Playmates 1] His fur is dark blue-gray with parts of his body being cream-colored. His hands have four claws and three toes on each foot. His eyes are solid red orbs with no pupils or irises. Bashmouth stands at above average height, being much taller than Four Arms but smaller than Humungousaur. He wears a dark orange vest with a red center line, black pants and vambraces, and an iron pad on his right shoulder.
In My Bodyguard, Bashmouth's eyes glowed pink while under the influence of Zombozo's hypnotism.
In The Monsters in Your Head, Bashmouth's eyes glowed white while under the influence of Dr. Animo.
In De-Fanged!, Bashmouth's vest and shoulder pad have a yellow stripe. His eyes sport thick black lines connected to his mouth. Spikes protrude from his forearms, his palms are dark orange and resemble fingerless gloves, his pants have purple markings running along it, and his lower torso has a spiked iron belt.
Bashmouth wears the Antitrix symbol on the center of his vest.

Powers and Abilities[]
Bashmouth's signature ability is his ability to generate metal from various parts of his body. One known example of this is generating scaled armor plates from his forearms that are dense enough to harm a Tetramand.[3] What type of metal Bashmouth generates and how it affects his bone structure shrouds in mystery, however they are extremely strong enough to shatter a Petrosapien's crystal projections.
Another way Bashmouth generates metal is through his sharp teeth, which can crunch through concrete. The metal teeth retract over his normal teeth. His metal teeth are able to deflect lasers.[4] Even when not using his metal generation, Bashmouth's bare teeth are strong enough to cause a Vaxasaurian discomfort by biting his tail.[5]
Bashmouth is strong and agile enough to easily handle Tetramands,[3] Appoplexians,[6][7] Vaxasaurians,[8][5][1] and even Chimera Sui Generi[2] in direct hand-to-hand combat. He is highly strong enough to lift a Tetramand and cause an earthquake by slamming the ground with great force.
Bashmouth's roar is strong enough to demolish a building,[3] launch a Vaxasaurian against a wall,[8] and push Ekoplektoids.[9]
Bashmouth has enhanced dexterity, as he can run on all fours while carrying a human.[8]
Weaknesses[]
Bashmouth is similar to Rath, in the sense that his instincts can take over. For example, the carnivorous aspect of his husky physiology will make him divert his attention to meat.[3] The same thing can happen with sticks.[10] He can also be distracted by patting him.[11]
Bashmouth can become easily enraged, such as when he began attacking Breaker One-Nine relentlessly for inadvertently scratching his armor.[1]
Despite the durability of his forearm plating, Bashmouth can be harmed by an Ekoplektoid's durability if the latter duplicates enough times.[10]
Bashmouth is vulnerable to Zombozo's hypnotic mind control.[8] Similarly, he can be brainwashed by hacking into the Antitrix.[12]

- In Vin Diagram, Bashmouth battled Rath until both of them were lured by meat to chase Gwen before he got distracted by a raccoon tail flag.

Trivia[]
- Ben acknowledges similarities between Bashmouth and Rath.[3] They appear to be an equal counterpart of each, due to their animal instincts taking over and making them do the stereotype dog act. Both aliens also have a huge amount of attack skills associated with anger and wild animal mannerisms.
- These similarities are further shown in Power Trip, as Bashmouth appears as an equivalent of Rath.
- In the official poster for the season 3, Bashmouth is depicted as Kevin's version of Rath.
- However, it has been confirmed that Bashmouth is unrelated to the Appoplexians. Since Bashmouth's DNA is not present in the Omnitrix, this makes him the only one of Kevin's aliens that Ben does not have a direct equivalent of.[DR 2]
- When the storyboards for his debut episode were being made, Bashmouth had neither a tail nor the ability to retract his metal teeth.[EA 1]
- There have been plans to reveal details on Bashmouth's species and home planet since before the release of Ben 10 Versus the Universe.[DR 6]
- Kelly Turnbull believed that Bashmouth is a "Kevin-ified" version of a Loboan.[KT 1] However, she does not remember this subject ever being addressed during the production of the series.[KT 2]
- Bashmouth is Kevin's favorite alien in the Antitrix.[DR 7]
