Template:Infobox Devolved Alien
Wildmutt was the second alien used by Ben. Ben first transforms into Wildmutt during the first Ben 10 episode And Then There Were 10 when fighting Vilgax's Drones.
Appearance
Among each Vulpimancer, the only noticeable common feature is their general body shape, which appears to be a cross between a lion, a wolf and a gorilla, but they vary in body sizes, and sometimes in color. Some Vulpimancers also have tails, while others don't (it is a possibility that only older Vulpimancers have this trait). Wildmutt also has a different mouth shape than other Vulpimancers shown in the original series.
Older Vulpimancers have bigger teeth that you can fully see, because they are on the outside of their face. Vulpimancers have evolved without eyes, instead using smell and hearing in vision's place, which are aided by three V-shaped gills on both sides of their neck. Ben's point of view while Wildmutt is depicted as being similar to a thermograph sensor, since it detects its surrounding with heat. The Omnitrix symbol is on a brace on his left shoulder.
Powers and Abilities
Wildmutt possesses a natural high agility that makes him able to run, jump and climb on objects
at high velocity. Most notable, Wildmutt has an incredible heat sensing ability, similar to pit vipers, that allows him to perceive thermal signatures of anything. Wildmutt's sense of smell is also well developed, he is able to track people from their scent many miles away. The only downside is that it makes Wildmutt vulnerable to anything that can overwhelm his senses such as a loud sound or a horrible smell.
It has also been exhibited that Wildmutt has above human strength. While Wildmutt is normally quadrupedal, he has the ability to stand on his rear haunches and brandish his front paws like fists. Wildmutt also has razor-sharp claws, and the ability to shoot sharp quills from his back, like a porcupine myth.
Ben 10
He first appeared in And Then There Were 10, where Ben used him while testing out the system. He then battled one of Vilgax's Drones and won. He was used in Pernament Retirement to escape the Limaxes in Aunt Vera's retirement home, and later to battle the one posing as Max. He later battled the Circus Freaks in Last Laugh, and lo
st when Zombozo showed up. He than tried to save some builders in Lucky Girl, but Gwen did all the work. A sick Wildmutt appeared in Side Effects, where he was unable to stop Clancy's cockroaches because of his cold. He was used in Secrets, where he lost to Vilgax. He later was used in the following episode, Truth to fight off his two older cousin Vulpimancers. He failed to stop The Great One in The Big Tick. Kevin was mentioned by Gwen to have used him to terroise Tallahassee in Framed. Ben then used him to try to stop Kevin from sending a cable car over the edge of the pier as Upgrade. In Camp Fear, he was chased by the Living Mushrooms and captured with Max. Later, in Tough Luck, he was used in a magic trick and in Ghostfreaked Out, a dream Wildmutt that could talk like Ben tried to rescue a kid in a tree, but it proved this was a decoy from Ghostfreak. He was seen 4 times in Back with a Vengeance. He was used in Ben 10,000 by Ben 10,000, to battle Vilgax. He chased down some robbers in Midnight Madness, but failed. A "baby Wildmutt" appeared in Don't Drink The Water to battle Hex. He appeared in Ben 10 vs the Negative 10: Part 2 to battle theNegative 10, the Dr. Animo's monsters and the security robots controlled by the hypnotized Cooper. He was used to find an intruder in Ben 10: Secret of The Omnitrix, but it turned out to be Gwen.
Ben 10: Race Against Time
Wildmutt appeared in the live-action movie, Race Against Time as the last alien Ben transforms into. He is able to defeat Eon when he froze time and helps Gwen with her magic trick. This made Ben and Gwen reach second place. His live-action apperance, looks more dark orange
Ben 10: Ultimate Alien
The Ultimatrix symbol has moved to his chest and the black
garment on his arm is gone. Footage of him was shown on TV in Fame. He appears in The Forge of Creation used by 10 year old Ben. In this episode he has his Ben 10 appearance, but his Omnitrix symbol has been changed from white to green, also, his lips are orange and the garment is more black. He made his first real debut in Viktor: The Spoils, although he only appeared very briefly because he was unconsious. Ben later realizes he can evolve Wildmutt to his Ultimate form, this has however yet to happen. He also was in It's Not Easy Being Gwen off screen searching for Doctor Animo.
Possible Future
In the possible future, Wildmutt is
larger in size. The Omnitrix symbol has moved once more, this time to his forehead. He also has colored stripes on his back and sprouted a tail. His appearance has shifted to a more feline form.
