Eatle is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Oryctini from the planet Coleop Terra.[1]
Appearance
In Ultimate Alien, Eatle was a humanoid-insect alien with some shark-like characteristics as well. He was dark blue, almost purple, and light blue in color. He had a long horn on the top of his head connected to a shorter protrusion on the back of his head and a large mouth that spread over part of his chest. He also had a silver belt, matching wristbands, and oval-shaped eyes.
In Omniverse, Eatle's upper lip is completely covered by his lower lip, which now has different teeth. His tongue is now blue and his horn now has forks at the top, causing it to resemble that of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. He now has two toes on his feet, and spikes on his arms and the backs of his legs. His blue has switched to gray, and he has green clothing all over his torso. He has a dark green, almost black shell on his back and armor of the same color.
The Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol is on his chest.
Powers and Abilities
Eatle has the ability to eat materials (similar to Upchuck) and then convert their matter into energy to shoot a green laser beam out of the slot on his horn. The beam is powerful enough to cut a floating mountain[2] and even hold down Vilgax.[3]
Eatle has enhanced strength and sharp fingers. His horn can also be used as a very effective battering ram, as shown during his fight with Vilgax.[3]
Eatle has enhanced durability. During his battle with Carl Nesmith, he was able to withstand Carl's glove's laser which was able to kill a human with a single shot.[4]
Weaknesses
Eatle had a blind spot due to his eye placement, making him easy to sneak up on.[3] This weakness has been removed in Omniverse, as his eyes are farther apart.
