Humungousaur is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Vaxasaurian from the planet Terradino.

Appearance

Ben as Humungousaur

Humungousaur is a somewhat humanoid dinosaur standing about twelve feet tall with hard skin that is colored brown on its outer side and beige on its inner side.

In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Humungousaur wore the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

In Video Games, Humungousaur wore a blue motion capture suit.

In Heroes United, the plates on his chest ended in spikes and he had spikes above his eyes.

In Omniverse, Humungousaur wears black briefs with a white waistband, and a green and black sash across his chest (going from his right shoulder to the left side of his lower back) containing the Omnitrix symbol. Humungousaur now has grey fingernails instead of brown, a slightly bigger chin, green eyes in the same hue of his Omnitrix symbol, a shorter build and his nose is positioned on his forehead.

Albedo as Negative Humungousaur

In Good Copy, Bad Copy, Negative Humungousaur looked exactly like Ben's Humungousaur. In The Final Battle: Part 1, Negative Humungousaur had red eyes and his Ultimatrix symbol was red as well.

In Omniverse, Negative Humungousaur has a darker skin color, creamy-white inner side and a red Ultimatrix sash across his chest in the opposite direction as Ben's Humungousaur. His eyes are the same red as his sash.

Alpha as Humungousaur

Alpha as Humungousaur had dark green skin, some horns, sharp teeth, and red eyes. He wore a red fake Ultimatrix symbol on his chest, and there were red lines spread across his body.

Humungousaur possesses incredible strength, being able to lift and throw objects (heavy or light) up to a high altitude, even into near-earth orbit. Technically speaking, he is physically stronger than Methanosians^{[DM 1]} and Crystalsapiens.^{[DM 2]}

Humungousaur possesses a thick, armored hide, which has proven to be durable enough to withstand blaster fire and heavy impacts. His skin is also resistant to heat.

Humungousaur has the power to increase or decrease his own body size and mass. He can grow bigger up to about 60 feet at will, increasing his natural strength as he grows. He can also shrink down to about 10 feet.^{[DM 3]}

When Humungousaur grows, his dinosaur features become more pronounced, growing Stegosauride features such as plates on his back, a crest on his forehead, and spikes on his tail. The plates on his shoulders and arms also separate and grow, giving him a more ferocious look. These features give him an extra edge in battle both defensively and offensively. Humungousaur can also generate his Stegosauride features without changing size.^{[1][DM 4]}

Humungousaur is durable enough to survive in the vacuum of space for a few minutes^[2][3] and pass through dangerous force fields.^[4]

Humungousaur is capable of jumping extremely high despite his size and weight. His tail is also powerful enough to easily knock away Malware's third form.^[5]

Humungousaur can run on all fours in a similar fashion to a bull or a rhinoceros.^[6]

Humungousaur is quite agile for his size, as he could somersault onto one of the Forever Knights' battle horses,^[7] perform a slide tackle,^[8] and evade attacks while jumping.^[5]

Humungousaur has powerful jaws that are strong enough to cause pain to a Highbreed.^[9]

Humungousaur's immense size and weight make him very useful for moving against strong suction forces^[10] and powerful winds.^[11]

Humungousaur has a powerful roar, which he once used to scare away a large group of reporters.^[12]

Similar to Four Arms, Humungousaur is strong enough to create shock waves by clapping his hands together.^{[MW 1]}

Also like Four Arms, when infected with a cold, Humungousaur gains the ability to spit slime.^[13]

Humungousaur's strength has a clear limit, as with such cases with moving and lifting beings or objects as heavy as Tyrannopede, whose sheer weight proved a challenge for Humungousaur to manage.^[14] Technically speaking, Humungousaur is physically weaker than Tetramands,^{[DM 1]} Highbreeds,^[9][15] and Evolved Vaxasaurians, the latter of whom is able to lift a To'kustar in record timing.^[16] He was also incapable of harming Ultimate Aggregor with physical blows, despite having given him a vicious beating.^[17]

Humungousaur is very slow and combined with his naturally large physique, it makes him a very easy target for enemy attacks. Even his base size makes it impossible for him to fit into small spaces.

Humungousaur can be discomforted by an Aerophibian's neuroshock blasts.^[18]

Humungousaur is weak against electricity, such as that generated by an Amperi.^[17]

Being a Vaxasaurian, Humungousaur is vulnerable to being trapped by a Kaosseffexx Ultimasauria, as shown when he was encased in Tyrannopede's cocoon and was unable to escape on his own.^[19]

Humungousaur is more of a land-based alien, meaning he cannot breathe underwater.^[20]

Humungousaur can be harmed by a Methanosian's fire attacks.^[18] Similarly, he can be harmed by a Pyronite's fire attacks even while he has his Stegosauride armor.^[3]

Despite his enhanced durability, Humungousaur's feet can be badly hurt by a strong enough blow, similar to those of a human.^[21]

Despite his wind resistance, Humungousaur can still be blown off his feet if the wind is strong enough, as shown when he battled Sir George.^[22]

Like Four Arms, if Humungousaur is under the effects of a cold virus, his strength and stamina will be severely reduced.^[13]
