Upchuck is the Omnitrix's DNA samples of the Perk and Murk races of Gourmand from the destroyed planet Peptos XI and currently Peptos XII.[1][DJW 1]
Appearance
Ben as Perk Upchuck
Perk Upchuck has green skin, six sprout-like growths on the back of his head, a dark-green patch of skin on his head, light-green skin on his face and belly and a crooked teeth overbite. He has whisker like lines on his face, and a green tail.
In the original series, Perk Upchuck had white eyes and wore a black open-front suit with white over-sleeves and white bands around his legs and white padding under his three-toed feet. He wore the original Omnitrix symbol on his left hand.
In Omniverse, 16-year-old Perk Upchuck does not wear clothes and his eyes are recolored green. He wears the Omnitrix on his stomach.
11-year-old Perk Upchuck looks almost the same as the original series, but his eyes and original Omnitrix symbol are recolored green and he now has bare feet with short claws.
Ben as Murk Upchuck
Murk Upchuck has swampy-green skin, a tanned stomach and muzzles, black sprouts and black-green spots on his tail, limbs, and back. His eyes are sharp and green, he has whisker-like lines, his teeth are more aligned with visibly sharp canine teeth and his tail is short and straightened, as opposed to Perk Upchuck's curled tail.
In Heroes United, Murk Upchuck's black stripes on his face were longer, reaching his mouth, and he only had two lines instead of three. His claws were attached to his hands through finger stubs.
In Omniverse, Murk Upchuck resembles his previous design, except that his claws are longer and bigger, his sprouts are brighter, and he has less spots on his body. He now has only two teeth in the shape of an underbite, and the markings on his face are thinner and contained by the face, no longer spanning the head.
Murk Upchuck wears the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol on his stomach.
Mad Ben as Mad Perk Upchuck
Mad Ben's Perk Upchuck has skin coloring that looks more like that of a Murk Gourmand. His teeth are now mirrored, and he wears a black helmet with a spike and orange glasses on it and spiked shoulder pads that are connected. He has orange bandages around his wrists, the spikes on the pads are orange, and the strap connecting the pads goes around the Omnitrix, which is on his chest. His eyes and Omnitrix are orange.
Powers and Abilities
Both Upchucks have four very strong, adhesive tongues that can stretch to great lengths, allowing them to latch onto large objects and reel them in with relative ease.
Both Upchucks' mouths can stretch, allowing them to swallow objects larger than themselves. They are connected with a trans-space bladder dimension where they store all the "food" they eat. Both Upchucks are connected to the Gourmand species and can sense any danger to his people through his stomach.[2]
By breathing air out of their mouths, both Upchucks are able to fly and even survive in the vacuum of space.[2]
The items ingested by either Upchuck are converted into explosive balls of liquids that can be expelled with great accuracy. The explosive power of these "loogies" depends on the chemical composition and overall size of what Upchuck ate to create them.[pop-up 1][3]
Both Upchucks can eat and spit out energy, such as lasers, in the same way they eat and spit out acid matter.
Perk Upchuck can make his "loogies" curve like a boomerang, shuriken, or frisbee. He can also fire powerful streams of his explosive vomit like an energy beam by building up digested matter and releasing it all at once.[4]
Perk Upchuck is able to take a surprising amount of punishment for a creature of his size, taking the force of a moving car impact, as well as surviving after being thrown through a wall.[5]
Murk Upchuck can spit out slime, which can be slippery and is capable of melting ice.[6]
Murk Upchuck can carry heavy objects in his stomach, such as the Alpha Nanite's container, and release them without having to turn them into a "loogie."[7]
Although neither Upchucks have trained themselves to do so, both of them can eat the Ascalon[DJW 2] and even a Celestialsapien, who would either be digested or spat back out.[DJW 3]
Weaknesses
Both Upchucks have a limit to how many big objects they can swallow at once.
Both Upchucks are slow when they eat a lot of things and become excessively fat. Otherwise, they are somewhat quick, considering their small size.
If either Upchuck does not spit out something they eat, they will get very fat and rendered immobile until they spit it out.[8]
Between both Upchucks, only Perk Upchuck cannot consume Earth/human food.[5] Murk Upchuck, on the other hand, lacks this weakness.[9]
There is a limit to the kinds of any either Upchuck can ingest, as the energy beams of an Evolved Galvan made Perk Upchuck inflate into a ball.[10]
