Skunkmoth is the Antitrix's cross-contaminated DNA sample of a Lepidopterran[note 1] and Kevin's equivalent to Stinkfly.
Appearance[]
While appearing somewhat similar to Stinkfly, Skunkmoth shows noticeable changes. His humanoid appearance parallels that of a beetle, with his red body covered in golden armor with large shoulder pads. His eyes are red and his head bears a gray horn. His wings are brown with black edges. His hands and feet are dark brown. Like his genetic variant, Skunkmoth has three fingers, two toes and a back toe. He is taller than Stinkfly, being around the same height as Four Arms.
Skunkmoth wears the Antitrix symbol on his chest.
Powers and Abilities[]
Being part-Lepidopterran, Skunkmoth shares many of the same abilities as Stinkfly, such as flight, slime projectiles and methane gas. However, based on Kevin's alterations to the Antitrix, Skunkmoth is most likely much more powerful than his normal counterpart.
Skunkmoth's insectoid wings allow for quick and agile flying, much in a similar fashion to that of Stinkfly.
Skunkmoth possesses enhanced strength, having displayed great strength in proportion to his body and carrying heavy loads whilst maintaining steady flight.[1]
Skunkmoth's strength extends to his prehensile feet, as shown when he moved the front half of the Sonitrain.[2]
Skunkmoth has enhanced durability thanks to his exoskeleton and armor covering his body.

Etymology[]
Skunkmoth is a pun on “skunk” and “moth”, the former describes his stench related abilities, the latter somewhat describes his insectoid appearance, much like Stinkfly’s.
Trivia[]
- Thanks to Greg Cipes reprising his role as Kevin and his Alien forms sharing the same voice as him, Skunkmoth is the only Antitrix alien to share a voice actor with his Omnitrix counterpart.
- Skunkmoth is the least used Antitrix alien, appearing only thrice. He is also the only Antitrix alien to not appear in Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie.
Notes[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Duncan Rouleau initially stated all transformations in the Antitrix were "cross-contaminated" with other species.[DR 1][DR 2] However, the crew was just told that they are just "special messed up Kevin versions (or "Kevin-ified" versions) of [Ben's] aliens."[KT 1][KT 2] The merchandise also used similar language, such as "Kev-ified" to describe AntiTrix transformations.[Playmates 1] Kelly Turnbull interpreted Duncan's statements as meaning "they're all getting little bits of DNA sloshed together, not necessarily two aliens spliced directly together."[KT 2]
