Bullfrag is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Incursean from an unknown and destroyed planet.
Appearance
Bullfrag is a humanoid frog-like alien with three-fingered hands and two-toed feet. He is, however, considerably taller and more muscular and paler-skinned than a typical Incursean and has a more defined jawline.
In The Frogs of War: Part 2, Bullfrag wore a typical black-and-purple Incursean uniform as a disguise. He also wore an Incursean helmet and purple sunglasses.
As of Bengeance Is Mine, Bullfrag wears green sunglasses, a black bodysuit with a green stripe down the middle, fingerless black gloves, toeless black boots with green cuffs above them, and a green belt with a white buckle.
Bullfrag wears the Omnitrix symbol on his upper chest, which was hidden under his suit during The Frogs of War: Part 2.
Powers and Abilities
Bullfrag has powerful jumping abilities and is very agile.
Bullfrag's physique makes him stronger and more durable than an average Incursean. He also has impressive hand-to-hand combat abilities.[1]
Bullfrag possesses a long, sticky and prehensile tongue, which he can use as a grappling line or to hit a distant target. It is also very strong, as it can smash boxes.[2] Its tensile strength is high enough to slow down the Billions Tower sign to a near standstill after falling from the top of a skyscraper.[3]
Bullfrag can inflate his chest to repel enemies and gain momentum to jump.[4]
Bullfrag has enhanced strength, as he was able to carry Bill Gacks in the air without any difficulty.[4]
Weaknesses
Like all Incurseans, Bullfrag is weak to a strong smell, such as that of a Methanosian's swampy stench.[5]
Bullfrag's tongue will hurt if it stretches too long.[3]

Trivia
- Bullfrag is more muscular and developed than other Incurseans because most members of the species have very poor diets. Bullfrag is an example of an optimal Incursean.[MW 1]
- Bullfrag would originally only wear sunglasses to hide his green eyes, but because the crew liked them so much, they decided to keep Bullfrag always wearing sunglasses.[DJW 1]
- Bullfrag and Perk Upchuck are the only aliens to have been manually unlocked by entering a code into an Omnitrix.
- Like frogs, Bullfrag makes a croaking sound after inflating his chest.
- While Bullfrag is attracted to Attea, the latter has a strong crush on Bullfrag as well.[1][2][MW 2]
- Ben blames the attraction on Bullfrag's DNA, similar to Albedo blaming his cravings for Chili Fries on Ben's DNA. Gwen even made a reference to this similarity, claiming that it is the excuse all boys use.[1]
- In Ben 10: Omniverse 2, Ben tries a few names such as "Crazy Legs" and "Aquattack" before settling on Bullfrag.
- From Arc 4 of Omniverse onwards, Bullfrag replaces Crashhopper in the opening intro of the show, specifically in the part where the latter originally appeared alongside Shocksquatch, Way Big, and Bloxx.
- Bullfrag's voice and mannerisms are based on Sylvester Stallone.
- Bullfrag's design seems similar to Rash from Battletoads, as both were amphibian superheroes that wore sunglasses.
- Bullfrag's sunglasses greatly resemble Kamina's sunglasses from Gurren Lagann.
