Trivia[]
- Hot Dog Alien's DNA is not available in the canon Reboot Continuity's Omnitrix.[DR 1]
- While Hot Dog Alien is currently unavailable in any alternate timeline Omnitrix, there is always the possibility that his species exists. However, nothing has been discussed along those lines and there may just be rights issues.[DR 2]
- Duncan Rouleau suspects this alien was created by a marketing team contracted by Cartoon Network, as the core team working on the reboot was not involved.[DR 3]
- On request, Duncan provided the name Hotdawg for this alien, Oscarmayerian for his species and Grillus for his home planet.[DR 3]
- "Oscarmayerian" comes from Oscar Mayer, a company which produces processed meats.
