Nosedeenians,[2][3][CN 1][note 1] commonly known as Megawatts or Megawhatts,[1][DR 1] are mischievous little creatures that resemble anthropomorphic batteries. They come from the Nosideen Quasar.[pop-up 1][4]
Appearance[]
Nosedeenians' bodies are black and cylindrical, with yellow, white, or green accents; the most prominent of which is a large lightning bolt-shape across their chest. They have plus and minus symbols on their backs (+ and -), similar to a battery. They stand at roughly a foot tall, with pointy legs, and three fingers on each hand.

Behavior[]
Nosedeenians exist to have "fun", which in their case is to cause trouble wherever they go. While they can cause a lot of damage, Nosedeenians do not seem to be evil, and in fact are not openly hostile to humans, merely lacking any self-control or sense of the danger they may be causing. In other words, they seem to be psychotic.
Nosedeenians will only attack if they are provoked.
The Nosedeenian language consists of a series of high-pitched squeaking and chirping noises. Still, they have proven to have at least some basic knowledge of English, as they wrote the (gramatically incorrect) sentence "U AM LAME" on the Rustbucket,[1] and seemed to understand Ben Tennyson's instructions to them as Buzzshock despite him not talking in their language.[5]
Powers and Abilities[]
Nosedeenians are like living batteries, able to store and release massive amounts of electricity within their bodies. The amount stored corresponds with their vitality; they get energetic and hyper when full of electricity[1][6][7] and sleepy when deprived of it.[3]
Nosedeenians can both project the electricity stored inside their bodies outward and absorb external electricity inward, primarily by using their hands.[4] They also have electrokinesis, and are able to control any electricity around them, allowing them to draw in electricity from far away or link themselves to other Nosedeenians.[1] A singular Nosedeenian can absorb all the energy from a city block in a matter of seconds,[3] and as a result of absorbing, their electric attacks become more powerful.[5]
Not only are Nosedeenians immune to electricity,[7] they can convert parts of their bodies or their entire bodies into pure electricity, and travel across certain things, such as phone lines and pipes.[1][5] Using this ability, Nosedeenians can inhabit electrical devices, controlling them from the inside, and in some cases powering them. They can also cause electrical technology to malfunction and fry when they pass through them.[1]
If a Nosedeenian absorbs enough energy, they can duplicate themselves one or many times.[1][3] They can also duplicate if they are forcibly bisected, in which their two parts will regenerate and become two whole Nosedeenians.[1]
Nosedeenians can naturally fly and levitate, and can also do so by turning their entire bodies or parts of it into electricity.[8][7]
Nosedeenians are surprisingly strong for their size, as a Nosedeenian was able to lift an adult human several feet above the ground, by their underwear.[1]
Nosedeenians have enhanced reflexes, as shown when Buzzshock quickly reacted and jumped over Phil's hand when he attacked him.[5]
Nosedeenians can emit a sonic scream capable of shattering glass.[1]
Weaknesses[]
Nosedeenians can be insulated with rubber-sheeted blankets.[3]
A Nosedeenian can trapped in something made of a non-conductive material, such as glass.[1]
A Nosedeenian's energy can be absorbed by a species such as Conductoids.[3] If they run out of energy, they will be unable to stay awake.[3]
A Nosedeenian's small size can be a disadvantage against a bigger, stronger opponent like Phil.[5]

Etymology[]
The name "Nosedeenian" comes from the company Nose Electric Railway, which is occasionally abbreviated as "Noseden".
Trivia[]
- Rook is the first to refer to these aliens as "Nosedeenians". Prior to this, the Nosedeenians were known as "Megawhatts".
- As of A Jolt From the Past, Undertown is partly powered by a volunteer group of Nosedeenians who were freed from imprisonment by Ben and Rook.
- There are some Nosedeenians in the web game Wrath of Psychobos and the Steam game Ben 10 Game Generator 5D, the latter of which features some blue Nosedeenians.
Notes[]
- ↑ The Nosedeenian name comes from Nosedeen Quasar, which is a misspelling of the word Nosideen Quasar, the home place for the species as revealed in pop-up trivia for the Original Series episode Ben 10,000.[pop-up 1][4] On October 18, 2009 the Nosedeen Quasar page was created by the user The Ultimate Necrofriggian, with the spelling error being neglected for years. Eventually, the Omniverse episode A Jolt From the Past would refer to the species as Nosedeenians, thereby canonizing the name with a misspelling.[BTP 1]
