Centort

Centort is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of an Andalite from the planet Tergum.
==Appearance==
Centort is a centaur-like alien covered in blue fur. He has a mostly human-shaped head with human-like eyes, but lacks a mouth and his nose is a slit. He has elf-like ears, and two additional eyes atop his head as eyestalks. His hands have seven fingers. He has a tail which possesses a large blade at the end; as per Andalite physiology, a female user of Centort would have a smaller blade, more akin to a scalpel.
Centort wears the Simplicitrix symbol on his chest.
==Powers==
*Centort has the ability to absorb the genetic material of any other creature he touches, and then is capable of shifting into that form upon absorbing the DNA.
*As he has no mouth, Centort speaks via telepathy. For any morph he has that also does not possess the physical ability to speak, this applies as well.
*Centort's stalk eyes give him the ability to see all around him. His main eyes have the same level of eyesight as a human, but the stalk eyes have the ability to see a bit further into both the ultraviolet and infrared spectrums.
*Centort's blade tail is his most powerful physical attribute. While it doesn't look like it at first glance, this tail is capable of reaching in front of him, giving it a wide range without the need to move his entire body.
*Centort has a gland called a Tria at the back of his head, which prevents disease carrying organisms from reaching the rest of his body.
*Centort absorbs nutrients through his hooves by crushing grass. This ability is selective and can be turned off to prevent harmful substances from entering his system.
*Centort's additional fingers make his motor skills quite nimble.
*Centort has enhanced speed.
==Weaknesses==
*Centort's morphing power has a limit of two hours. While the Simplicitrix is capable of changing the user back into themselves no matter what, Centort's DNA will be permanently trapped in the form of any morph left in for over two hours.
*Centort does not have much in way of physical prowess regarding upper body strength, as he is actually a tad weaker than a human.
*Although he has more nimble motor skills, Centort's fingers are slower than humans.
*Centort's telepathy has an upper limit to how far it can reach, and starts to sound a bit like a static radio signal if one goes too far.
*Centort's body is not fit for human-sized or larger creatures to ride upon him, despite being horse-like.
==Etymology==
*Centort's name is a play on "centaur" and "contort"
*Centort's planet name is the Latin word for "backstab." This is a nod to Seerow's Kindness; Seerow had been the one to grant Yeerks the technology of the Andalites, which is what resulted in the Yeerks using this very technology to start their intergalactic invasion, betraying Seerow. Seerow's Kindness is the law by which Andalites abide to never share their technology again.
==Trivia==
*Centort was made by compositing the Ben 10: Omniverse models of Ben 10,000, the spectral horse (the same one used to make Stampsteed), and Nyancy Chan's tiger (the same one used to make Nervanha).
*In the actual Animorphs lore, morphing is not an ability they have obtained naturally, and is just part of their technological advancement. Centort operates on the idea that, over time, this would develop into an a natural ability for the species.
