Ampfibian (Classic)

Ampfibian (alternatively spelled as AmpFibian) is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Amperi from the planet Tesslos in the Andromeda Galaxy.
==Appearance==
Ampfibian is a blue jellyfish-like alien with white swipes on his body resembling lightning streaks, a main body with three-segmented skirt-like parts for his head, chest and abdomen, and six long tentacles that function as two pairs of arms and a pair of legs.
In Ultimate Alien, Ampfibian had pupil-less eyes and wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest. His eyes were colored blue in Fused due to being fused with Ra'ad, but were changed to green for the rest of his appearances.
In Heroes United, Ampfibian looked mostly the same as in Ultimate Alien except most of the white swipes on his body were missing while the ones that remained were slightly darker and shaped differently.
In Omniverse, Ampfibian looks almost the same as before, except the lightning streak swipes on his body have been altered, his tentacles are now pointed instead of curved, and his green eyes are larger with the black outlining in them becoming much more prominent. He wears the Omnitrix symbol on his mouth.

Ampfibian can manipulate and produce electricity that is able to stun, paralyze, or kill. Ampfibian is also able to absorb electrical energy such as lightning and the Piscciss Volann guards' energy nets. That energy then can be launched out of his tentacles as attacks.Deep Ampfibian is also able to use his electrokinesis to telekinetically move objects, as demonstrated by Ra'ad.
Ampfibian can generate a protective force field around himself; this feat was exclusively demonstrated by Ultimate Aggregor during his visit to the Perplexahedron.Perplexahedron 
Similar to Upgrade and Buzzshock, Ampfibian can become pure energy in order to enter electrical cables and control technology. Ampfibian can also generate a large energy blast that surrounds him, as demonstrated by Ra'ad.
Similar to Ghostfreak and Big Chill, Ampfibian can make himself intangible.Fused Correlating with this, he is capable of electrically shocking any objects and beings he phases through.Inspector #13
Ampfibian can fly and is agile enough to dodge attacks while flying.Special Delivery
Ampfibian's tentacles can extend multiple times their length.Night of the Living Nightmare Ampfibian also has some degree of enhanced strength, enough to restrain Phil with his tentacles.Max's Monster
Due to being boneless, Ampfibian is able to squeeze through small and tight spaces.
Ampfibian is durable enough to withstand being thrown against a wall by Solid PluggHave I Got a Deal for You and getting hit by an Aerophibian's neuroshock blasts.The Rooters of All Evil
Ampfibian can breathe underwater, as well as being able to swim at superhuman speeds. He can also safely produce and discharge electricity underwater.
Ampfibian can read the thoughts of other life forms by sensing the electrical pulses of their minds; this feat was only demonstrated by Ra'ad.
==Weaknesses==
HIGaDfY (233).png|Ineffective Electrokinesis
MaxMonster192.png|Electricity Absorption Vulnerability
RoAE (457).png|Neuroshock Blast Vulnerability
Ampfibian is weak against enemies who can drain electricity, like Phil. Furthermore, Ampfibian's electric attacks are useless against Solid Plugg because he is made out of super dense rubber.
Ampfibian can be harmed by an Aerophibian's neuroshock blasts.
Despite being able to use his electricity underwater, Ampfibian can accidentally shock himself if he is entering or partially in water, as demonstrated with Ra'ad.
Ampfibian's intangibility is useless against other beings that can also become intangible, as it will cancel out their abilities to do so.Map of Infinity

==Naming and Translations==
==Etymology==
Ampfibian's name is a portmanteau of the words "amp(ere)" and "amphibian" (with the "ph" changed to a "pf"). It is also a pun of the word "amplify" ("amp" for short), which means to charge and increase energy, referencing Ampfibian's abilities to absorb, generate, and redirect electrical energy. The word "amphibian" is also used since most are either adapted to water, or generate their own electricity.
==Trivia==
*Ampfibian was the Alien of the Month in September 2011.
*Ampfibian and the other Andromeda aliens have powers linked to a certain element; for Ampfibian, it is electricity.
*Ampfibian is the only Andromeda alien that Ben used in the same episode he was scanned in.
*Ampfibian and Armodrillo are the only Andromeda aliens in Ultimate Alien to receive a unique transformation sequence. 
*As of Omniverse, Ampfibian and Feedback are the only aliens who generate blue electricity.
*Ampfibian was designed by Steven Choi or Chap Yaep, and was named by Len Wein.
*Similar to how Jetray's "Jeffery" nickname originated as a joke amongst the crew, Ampfibian was jokingly referred to as "Aunt Vivian".
*Ben 23 has an alternate counterpart of Ampfibian.
**Years after Omniverse ended, Derrick J. Wyatt revealed that Ben 23's Amperi transformation was named JellyFritz. However, he declined to specify whether it was conceived during or after production. Thus, the wiki considers the name non-canon and unofficial.
