Gluto is a Protost and a friend of Tetrax Shard.
Appearance[]
Gluto has the appearance of a pink blob of slime. He has three yellow eyes with black stripes above them and two antennae-like protrusions on his forehead.
He sits on and wears a grey and black suit with four four-toed feet and two four-fingered hands. It also has a Universal Translator in front, shown as a grey vent with two yellow orbs around it.[pop-up 1][1]
Personality[]
Not much of his personality was shown, but from what could be seen, Gluto is very obedient to Tetrax, doing everything he asks of him. He often chirps cheerfully in his language, suggesting he's the more upbeat and positive one between them both. However, Gluto was still able to show great courage in his cheerfulness, even taking on Vilgax by himself when the warlord tried to take the helm of the Resolute. Gluto was also showed to have an affection for Gwen, hugging her when in danger, saving her from being killed twice, and almost sacrificing his life for her.[1]
History[]
Ben 10[]
In Secret of the Omnitrix, Gluto debuted as the pilot of the Resolute. He took Tetrax, Ben, and later Gwen, to find Azmuth: slipping them in and out of Incarcecon and navigating through the asteroid belt of Xenon.
During the course of their travels, he developed a friendship with Gwen, while Ben just thought he was a gross "snot blob". When Vilgax boarded the Resolute before they reached Xenon, Gluto strategically exited his suit and hid. When Vilgax and SixSix arrived in the control room, they thought he had been scared away. SixSix left Vilgax alone in the room, where Gluto attacked him by surprise, though Vilgax was able to beat him and left. Afterwards, Gwen came into the room and found it empty, and a damaged Crewman managed to pull its gun on her. Right as it was about to shoot, Gluto reformed from being scattered around the room and morphed around the gun, taking the full force of its blast. His body exploded, disassembled pieces flying across the room. Gwen thought he had died and took up the Resolute's controls before it crashed on Xenon.
Later, when Gwen had been kidnapped and carried away by the group of Florauna, Gluto managed to completely regenerate himself from the miniscule pieces of him on her clothes and saved her. She and him later joined the fight against Vilgax's army and helped win the day. After the battle, Gluto casually spoke to Ben in English, revealing that he not only could this entire time, but also heard all his "snot blob" comments.
Powers and Abilities[]
Gluto's body is made of liquid slime, which he can control and shapeshift at will. He can morph and take on the shape of a blob for faster movement; stretch or elongate parts of his body; and slip through small spaces. He can even spawn tentacles to grab or interact with things.[1]
Gluto can envelop people or objects in his slime to shield them from outside attacks, or to shield the outside from dangerous objects, such as when he protected Gwen.[1]
Gluto has exceptional healing capabilities, and is able to regenerate completely from any subdivision of himself, no matter how small, as long as that piece of him doesn't evaporate first.[pop-up 2] Its only flaw is that he seems to take a while to completely regenerate his entire body.[1]
Gluto is very strong, as he was able to wrestle with Vilgax, pick up and toss his Crewmen with one tentacle, and rip them in half.[1]
Gluto's gel-like body makes him invulnerable to most physical attacks.[pop-up 3][1]
Gluto is very quick and agile when he moves as one blob, easily able to overwhelm opponents and dodge their attacks.[1]
Equipment[]
Gluto sits in a special support armor, which has a base with four feet underneath that can help him walk around, and two four-fingered gloves for more precise inputs. The suit also has a Universal Translator attached, which he uses to understand other languages.[pop-up 1][1]

Trivia[]
- Gluto was designed by Thomas N. Perkins IV.[TNP 1][TNP 2]
- Gluto is very similar to Goop in terms of powers, as both are made of a similar material. However, unlike Goop, Gluto does not have feet, is pink, and does not need an Anti-Gravity Projector to move.
- Tetrax does not seem to know that much about Protosts, based on the fact that he was unaware that Gluto could regenerate to the extent that he did, or that he could understand English.
- Gluto's multiple "arms" allow him to pull maneuvers that would be impossible for most pilots.[pop-up 5][1]
- Despite not appearing on-screen after Secret of the Omnitrix, Gluto still works with Tetrax.[DJW 1]
- Derrick J. Wyatt regretted not having Gluto return in Omniverse.[DJW 2]
