Oh, sorry about that, sport. Thought you were that mummy. I guess because, you know... you're a mummy.

Max after mistaking Snare-Oh for the Mummy.[1]

Snare-Oh[credits 1][2][credits 2][3] (alternatively spelled as Snare-oh),[credits 3][4] formerly known as Benmummy[credits 4][1][Bandai 1][Bandai 2] (alternatively spelled as Ben Mummy),[Bandai 3] is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Thep Khufan from the planet Anur Khufos in the Anur System.[Bandai 3]

Appearance[]

Ben as Snare-Oh[]

Snare-Oh is a mummy-like alien whose bandages are actually a thin yet powerful skin that he can control.[Bandai 2] This skin is made from an alien material that feels like old cloth, but do have elasticity.[DJW 1]

In the Original Series, Snare-Oh's eyes and the gaps between his bandages glowed green. He wore a black and gold pharaoh's headdress, black bracers and greaves, and the original Omnitrix symbol on his left shoulder.

In Ultimate Alien, Snare-Oh was slightly taller and the green lines on his body were recolored gold, additionally his chest, arms, shoulders and legs are thicker, giving him a more muscular appearance. He wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

In Omniverse, Snare-Oh has greyish-brown and more ragged bandages, with more layers being visible and the tendrils on his back being much shorter. His headdress is black with two glowing green gaps on either side of it and a gold rimming at the bottom. His green eyes are surrounded by crown-like golden spikes and his lower face is wrapped in bandages. His chin is black with more green gaps and a golden beard-like spine jutting from it. His upper chest and shoulders are covered by a large collar/wrap-like garment with green and black stripes. He also has black-and-gold pads on each shoulder, with each one having a green "eye" on them. The gaps on his chest are gone and his heels each have an extra "toe". The ties on his Shendyt are replaced by a single bandage. His braces and greaves now have gold trimmings and two larger green gaps on them. He wears the Omnitrix on a green and white belt around his waist. Both the 11 and 16-year old versions share this design.

Ben 10,000 as Snare-Oh[]

Ben 10,000's Snare-Oh is recolored to look like the Mummy, though his eyes and the gaps between his bandages glow green and, unlike the Mummy, he has no chin beard.

Benzarro as Snare-Oh[]

Benzarro's Snare-Oh looks identical to Ben Prime's Snare-Oh in Omniverse, except his eyes, bandage gaps, and Zombitrix symbol are recolored lavender, the bandages are recolored white, the golden parts are recolored silver, and the stripe on his belt is recolored black.

Powers and Abilities[]

Snare-Oh can generate a steady supply of the bandages that make up his body.[3] He can extend their length to approximately 30 feet[Bandai 2] and control their movement for various purposes, such as wrapping, grappling, lifting, and moving around objects and opponents. He can also detach his bandages after wrapping them around someone, to become a permanent restraint.[4]

The strength of each individual bandage is powerful enough to punch holes in the ground and restrain Fourmungousaur, who has the combined strength of both Four Arms and Humungousaur,[5] and they are sharp enough to cut through vines grown by a Florauna's fruit-like pods, as demonstrated by Kuphulu.[6] Snare-Oh can also use his bandages to create a sturdy wall.[7]

Being composed of bandages, Snare-Oh can reshape his body at will. This allows him to split himself apart to dodge attacks and reform to counter-attack.[4] Additionally, by reducing himself down to a few bandages, Snare-Oh can fly around and slip through extremely tight spaces or small openings. This allows him to escape various traps or maneuver through cramped areas.[4]

Snare-Oh can regenerate himself and recover almost instantly from many types of injuries, such as being torn into confetti by a large fan, as demonstrated by the Mummy.[8]

Snare-Oh can survive in the vacuum of space, as demonstrated by the Mummy.[9]

Despite being made of bandages, Snare-Oh is immune to being moistened and having his mobility reduced by water. As such, he can survive underwater.[3]

Snare-Oh is immune to the effects of Corrodium and can see in the dark,[DJW 2] the former of which has been demonstrated by the Mummy.[8][9] Snare-Oh can also block out Corrodium radiation with his bandages, allowing him to carry the dangerous crystal inside his body without irradiating anything nearby, as demonstrated by the Mummy.[8][9]

Snare-Oh has a bioluminescent body and glowing eyes, as demonstrated by the Mummy.[8]

Snare-Oh can completely unravel his body to create a pile of bandages to cushion a landing. His face separates from the rest of the bandages in the process.[3]

By whipping his tendrils around all at once, Snare-Oh can create a tornado attack.[Bandai 2]

Weaknesses[]

Snare-Oh can be tangled up in his own bandages, as demonstrated with Kuphulu.[6]

Snare-Oh's species is vulnerable to intense heat and strong winds, as they must hide from it on their homeworld.[pop-up 2] The latter has been demonstrated by the Mummy.[8][9]

Snare-Oh can be controlled and hypnotized by Vladats via their Corrupturas, as demonstrated with Kuphulu and many other Thep Khufan residents of Anur Transyl.[10]

Snare-Oh can be frozen solid by liquid nitrogen, as demonstrated with the Mummy.[8]

Snare-Oh can be scared by Toepick's species.[DJW 3]

Etymology[]

His placeholder name, Benmummy, is a combination of the words "Ben" and "mummy".

Snare-Oh's name comes from "snare", meaning to tie up or even to restrain someone or something, which alludes to his ability to do so, and the "-oh" is derived from "pharaoh", a word for an Egyptian king, referencing his appearance.

Trivia[]

  • Snare-Oh is one of four aliens whose working name had Ben's name in it, the other three being Blitzwolfer, Frankenstrike, and Nanomech.
    • In Omniverse, the name "Benmummy" was replaced with Snare-Oh.
  • Like Frankenstrike, Arctiguana, Buzzshock, and Murk Upchuck, Snare-Oh appeared in Omniverse, but he did not appear in A New Dawn.
  • Snare-Oh's Original Series design was made by Thomas Perkins,[TP 1] while his Omniverse design was made by Chap Yaep based on Derrick J. Wyatt's roughs.[DJW 4]
  • At some point late in production for Season 3 of the Original Series, Snare-Oh's Omnitrix symbol was intended to be on his left wrist rather than his left shoulder.[ca 1]
  • Had he appeared in Omniverse flashbacks, 11-year-old Snare-Oh would have resembled his appearance in the Original Series.[DJW 5]
    • In the Omniverse intro used from Arc 4 onwards, 11-year-old Snare-Oh is incorrectly designed to look the same as his 16-year-old self.
  • When asked if Snare-Oh can fold his hands like origami and shape them into weapons, similar to Diamondhead, Derrick answered that it is possible, though it would be like hitting someone with a papier-mâché boulder.[DJW 6]
  • Although he has never trained himself to do so, Snare-Oh can perform magic similar to Egyptian curses.[DJW 7] However, Ben cannot stay transformed as Snare-Oh long enough to learn it.[DJW 8]

Notes[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 Originally, the Mummy was the DNA source for Snare-Oh.[pop-up 1][1] This was later changed, as Thep Khufan DNA was said to have already been present in the Omnitrix. Ben just misunderstood what the device was doing when it "sampled" the Mummy's DNA.[DM 1][DM 2][BTP 1]
