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, oval-shaped eyes, and the inside of his mouth was green.
In Omniverse, Eatle's upper lip is completely covered by his lower lip, which now has different teeth. He now has a blue tongue 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, as well as two longer ones on either side of his mouth. His blue has switched to gray, and he has green clothing all over his torso, as well as a dark green, almost black shell on his back and armor of the same color.
Eatle wears the Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol is on his chest.
Powers and Abilities
Similar to Upchuck, Eatle has the ability to eat materials 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]
In addition to shooting lasers, Eatle's horn can also be used as a very effective battering ram, as shown during his fight with Vilgax.[3]
Eatle has enhanced durability, as seen during his battle with Carl Nesmith, where he was able to withstand Carl's glove's laser, which was able to injure a Chronosapien and kill a human with a single shot.[4]
Eatle has enhanced strength, as he was able to grab a Ship-enhanced Julie and push her through several walls of her house without stopping,[5] and could crush Nesmith's glove.[4]
Eatle has sharp claws that can help him climb up walls, as shown when he clambered up Charmcaster's machine.[2]
Weaknesses
Eatle had a blind spot due to his eye placement, making him easy to sneak up on.[3] He lacks this weakness in Omniverse, however, as his eyes are farther apart.
Being an Oryctini, Eatle is weak against his natural predator.[DJW 1]

Golf course statue
- The red robot-like statue of the golf course from Greetings from Techadon bears a lot of resemblance to Eatle's design in Ultimate Alien.
- Eatle's existence was first brought to light in a listing for the Ultimate Alien four-inch line by Bandai.[Bandai 1]
- Initially, in Ultimate Alien, Eatle's mouth only ever opened when he was about to devour something and never actually opened when he talked. Much like Lodestar, however, Eatle's mouth now moves when he speaks in Omniverse.
- On iTunes, his name is misspelled as "Eetle".
- Concept art for Eatle in Ultimate Alien shows what appears to be an Ultimate version of him with four arms and a horn similar in appearance to the one featured in Omniverse.

- Despite the confirmed existence of Eatle's predator, it was a concept that ultimately never made it into the show.[DJW 2]
