Crashhopper is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an unknown species from an unknown planet.
Appearance
Crashhopper greatly resembles a mix between a grasshopper and a praying mantis with significantly large hind limbs. He has the same green color scheme as Stinkfly. He has a large green horn and wears green overalls with black stripes all over. The Omnitrix symbol is on his stomach.
Powers and Abilities
Due to his relatively long and muscular hind legs, he is able to jump extremely long distances, leaving behind a shock wave. He has a very hard and powerful horn-like skull which he uses as a battering ram.
The shock wave created from his jump is strong enough to crack concrete and push through a large number of giant ants that were on top of him as seen in It Was Them. He is also strong enough to lift and throw a Muroid.
Weakness
They were seen as It Was Them, a sticky goo (as of Mucilator) can leave him stuck without being able to leave. Also, Crashhopper's body is certainly not shielded as powerful as it looks in So Long, And Thanks For All The Smoothies when a missile struck he started to stroke the head showing he felt pain.
In Of Predators And Prey: Part 2 showed Crashhopper can not jump from high altitudes being unable to jump from the Khyber's Ship to Bellwood because it was too high.
