The Unitrix, self-nicknamed Eunice, is a prototype Omnitrix which can absorb and contain DNA of various different species. She is also one of Azmuth's creations.
Appearance[]
Unitrix Form[]
In her true form, Eunice is the Unitrix, a core similar to the Omnitrix and Ultimatrix.
Unlike future models, the Unitrix resembles a container instead of a watch, but does feature a control dial that, when pressed down, turns it to its mobile DNA form (in this case, Eunice).
Human Form[]
After gaining human DNA from a randomized genetic sample, Eunice appears as a 16-year-old girl,[script 1] with around shoulder-length blonde hair and bright green eyes. There are green rectangular markings on the back of Eunice's neck. When they are pressed, Eunice turns back into the Unitrix.
When Ben's team first found her, Eunice borrowed Ben's jacket so she wouldn't be naked. Afterwards, she borrowed a pink tank top, white shorts and brown flip-flops from Gwen.
In Simian Says, she wore a white jumpsuit with black stripes.
In Omniverse, Eunice wears a white dress with a black collar and one stripe in the middle. She wears black fingerless gloves and black boots. Her hair is shorter, and she wears a black hairband.
Personality[]
Eunice is kind to everyone and is appreciative to those who help her.[2] She cares about animals so much that she is a vegetarian.[2]
Eunice doesn't like to be treated as an object, panicking at the idea of being put back into storage.[2]
History[]
Ultimate Alien[]
Before the creation of the Omnitrix, Azmuth created the Unitrix to preserve alien DNA by placing genetic samples in individual Unitrixes that could animate themselves to take on the appearance and use the abilities of the DNA samples that were uploaded into them for protection. He eventually abandoned the idea in favor of the Omnitrix.
In The Transmogrification of Eunice, Sunder was hired by Azmuth to find the Unitrix when Azmuth lost it. The Unitrix's pod was discovered in the forest at the same time Ben's team was driving for a camping trip. After encountering her, she stayed with them for the day, bonding with Ben (who had recently broken up with Julie), the two of them were soon attacked by Sunder, who shut Eunice down and attempted to get away before Kevin and Gwen stopped him as Kevin restarted the Unitrix again.
While the four of them scuffled with Sunder that led to a muddy area, Azmuth arrived, broke up the fight, and cleared things up. He stated that Eunice was the Unitrix, a prototype version of the Omnitrix created when Azmuth wanted to preserve alien DNA by placing genetic samples in individual Unitrixes that could animate themselves to take on the appearance and use the abilities of the DNA samples that were uploaded into them for protection. Azmuth stated that when Gwen cut her hand trying to open the pod containing the Unitrix, her DNA was sampled and randomized to make a human form for the Unitrix. Following a brief argument, Ben allowed Azmuth, under a compromise, to take on Eunice as one of his assistants on Primus.
In Simian Says, Eunice was tending to DNA in the Codon Stream, where she found the Arachnachimp DNA had some degradation. She went to Aranhascimmia to get a fresh DNA sample, where she found the Xenocite infestation and stayed to help. Eunice was eventually thrown into a pool of Xenocites and turned into a DNAlien. She fought Swampfire but was cured. She eventually used Simian to revert all the Arachnachimp DNAliens to normal.
Eunice was seen in a flashback in The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2.
Omniverse[]
In The Most Dangerous Game Show, Eunice briefly appeared as one of the contestants chosen by Charles Zenith to compete for Ben's hand in marriage but was removed from the game when Ben pointed out their relation.
Powers and Abilities[]
Eunice is capable of storing DNA of others through touch. Unlike the Omnitrix and Ultimatrix, Eunice is not connected to the Codon Stream, and unlike the completed Omnitrix, she can only hold one DNA sample.[2][DM 1]
Eunice can replicate the powers and abilities of those whose DNA she has absorbed, without changing her form,[2] and only for ten or so minutes.[DM 2]
In addition, local wildlife seem to be attracted to Eunice to the point where normally shy animals would gather around her and more dangerous animals (like a bear or snake) would be tamed by her presence.[2]
Prior to Simian Says, Eunice received an upgrade to have a one way subspace link to Primus for uploading DNA samples.
Eunice is computer expert. For example, she was able to program a genetic alteration pulse against the Xenocite infestation on Aranhascimmia, with Gwen's help.[1]
Powers and Abilities Replicated[]
| Species Copied | Powers/Abilities Gained |
|---|---|
| Bear | Enhanced Strength |
| Rabbit | Enhanced Jumping |
| Snake | Enhanced Flexibility |
| Arachnachimp | Enhanced Agility Enhanced Strength |
Weaknesses[]
Having her link to Primus active, Eunice can cause parallel signal interference which could cause the Ultimatrix to lose its connection to Primus if it is nearby. Eunice can shut it off to prevent this.[1]
Relationships[]
Love Interests[]

Trivia[]
- According to Azmuth, Eunice is dangerous. The reason why has never been explained.[2]
- Both her Simian Says and Omniverse outfits resemble Ben's shirt's color scheme in the Original Series and Omniverse flashbacks.
- Some of Eunice's knowledge came from Gwen, while the Unitrix supplied the rest.[DM 3]
- Since she was created from Gwen's DNA, Eunice is technically a member of the Tennyson family.[DJW 1]
- Eunice knows things about the original Ultimatrix that Ben doesn't, and vice versa.[MW 1]
- Eunice's Omniverse design was created by Derrick J. Wyatt[DJW 2][DJW 3] and it is based on 60s go-go outfits.[DJW 4]
- Dwayne McDuffie speculated that the Unitrix landed on Earth because it was seeking an Omnitrix core like itself.[DM 4]
