Velocirobber

What's this? Another upload? So soon?

Yeah, I'm back, but don't get too excited. My classes are back in session (after a brief you-know-what scare on campus), so who knows if that means I'll be able to keep posting new stuff on a regular basis.

For those of you who have watched me for a long time, you might remember an alien by the name of "Locke Pierce", one of the first of many Omnitrix aliens that I have made over my time here on Deviantart. As some of you may also know, as I am prone to doing, the alien was a redesign of 's own concept - but that was nearly five years ago. Five years! So, with permission (and more than a little encouragement), I decided to give this old geezer a new coat of paint - and better yet, a new and more appropriate name!

So strap in, citizens of the Omniverse! We're gonna take a lil' trip down memory lane!

Onto the facts!

Name: Velocirobber

Species: Igetisaurian

Homeworld: Terradino

Personality: Velocirobber is nothing short of a criminal mastermind and, as such, possess a manipulative and cunning personality that is in stark contrast to Ben's benevolent behavior. Though he is typically calm and courteous, he has proven himself to be incredibly sly and absolutely ruthless when it comes to taking on his enemies, such as when he had Rojo and Fistrick at each other's throats in a manner of seconds through his words alone. He seems to relish in watching his opponents tear themselves or each other apart, both literally and figuratively, almost to a sociopathic degree. Though his intentions are nonetheless benevolent, Velocirobber is a transformation that Ben, Gwen, Rook, and even Kevin are afraid of.

Powers/abilities: Velocirobber's most notable ability are his polymorphic claws. Due to a lack of bone tissue, his fingers are able to take on multiple shapes and forms, which allow him to use like a personal, miniature tool box or lock-picking kit. He can mold them to fit into keyholes of various sizes and shapes, as well as harden them to behave like typical claws when need be.

Igetisaurians are incredibly intelligent. Though they are nowhere comparable to the Galvan or Cerebrocrustacean, their in-depth knowledge of the mind and psyche are almost unmatched. They able to effectively predict an opponent's movements and decisions based on analysis alone and are thus able to manipulate them quite effectively. In short, they can effortlessly play 4D chess against their opponents and win before they even realize it.

Velocirobber has sound-absorbing pads in the bottom of his feet, much like elephants, that allow him to move without making a sound.

Igetisaurians are remarkably agile and possess enhanced reflexes and speed that allow them to dodge opponents almost effortlessly.

Velocirobber has sharp teeth and a bite force powerful enough to rip off a car mirror.

Igetisaurians are able to tolerate higher temperatures than humans can.

Velocirobber possesses both enhanced hearing, smell, and sight that is on par with that of a hawk.

Weaknesses: Like any reptile, Velocirobber is cold-blooded and thus reliant on his surroundings to maintain his body temperature. This means that if he becomes too hot, he will be forced to find a means of cooling himself down and if he becomes too cold, he will fall into torpor until his surroundings warm up enough.

For all their mental strength, Igetisaurians lack much physical strength. Though they are certainly stronger than humans, they are nowhere near as strong as other species, such as Tetramands or Vaxasaurians.

Though they take the form of many shapes, Velocirobber's claws are unable to grow or shrink beyond their current mass. Whenever Velocirobber changes their shape, he is merely relocating their mass to suit his needs rather than his cells rapidly multiplying or dying to produce the desired shape.

Etymology: Velocirobber's name is a combination of "Velociraptor", the animal that he resembles, and "robber", which references his particularly infilitration-skewed skillset.

Trivia: The species name derives from the Greek "igétis", which means "leader" and "sauria", which is a clade of lizards.

Terradino's name is a play on the words terra, the Latin word for earth or land, and dino, the Latin word for feared, meaning "Feared Land".

Velocirobber's redesign was heavily inspired by pop culture portrayals of spies, such as James Bond, as well as the Pokemon, Inteleon, and Toffee from Star vs. the Forces of Evil. In fact, much of Velocirobber's personality is strongly based on that of Toffee's, particularly his penchant for being able to manipulate others.

Igetisaurians possess hair-like pycnofibers on their heads and tails, which they comb into numerous fashions similar to humans. In fact, Igetisaurians possess a strange interest in Earth hair fashion and are always looking for a means of "outdoing the competition", as they say.

Igetisaurians also have gular flags, a flap of skin between their throat and neck, that they extend when they are particularly upset or anxious.

Terradino is a lush, primeval world not dissimilar to Earth with a wide variety of extraterrestrial flora and fauna. Unfortunately, none of Terradino's sapient species have evolved to live together peacefully and warring factions constantly seek to to wrench control of society for themselves. For the time being, the Vaxasaurians have been able to temporarily restore order through their sheer physical superiority. This however, is merely an allusion. In truth, the Igetisaurians are the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes and are the true rulers of Terradino, manipulating the Vaxasaurian chiefs to unwittingly do their bidding. As the most technologically-advanced species, they desire nothing less than absolute dominion over Terradino and seek to either force their neighbors to either submit to them . . . or pit them against their each other until they've all driven themselves into extinction.

Due to the immense depths of their deception, virtually none of Terradino's other sapient species are even aware of the Igetisaurian's existence. After thousands of years of spreading rumors, false tales, calling their own existence into question, and even going so far as to jeopardize the scientific advancement of the other species, the Igetisaurians have faded deep into legend and are viewed as little more than boogeyman to frighten naughty hatchlings into obeying their parents.
