The Monsters in Your Head

The Monsters in Your Head is the one hundred and thirty-sixth episode of Ben 10.
==Synopsis==
Ben and Gwen learn a rumor of an alien invasion happening at the park they are camping at, but when they investigate, they discover a preserve containing a host of mutated creatures engineered by Animo! With the unexpected help of Kevin 11, Ben proves that the rumors are false, and that truth is stranger than fiction!
==Plot==
As Team Tennyson hikes through a forest on a island, Gwen watches a video made by the Alien Guy on their tablet. He explains that the government is hiding extraterrestrials on the island, and encourages his audience to investigate. Ben counters the video by saying aliens aren't real, but Gwen disproves this by transforming him into Four Arms. As he begins moving the goalpost, he is swarmed by fellow alien investigators. Gwen tries to push him away, but accidentally sends him tumbling down a cliff. They come across a metal gate, warning them not to enter. Regardless, the three enter.
Inside the facility, they find a lush underground cave. Max notices they're being stalked, and a deer with evil-looking features emerges from the forest. Ben prepares for it to attack, but Gwen calms it down. More alien animals begin to appear. Just as Gwen notes how peaceful they are, their eyes turn white and they begin to wildly run around. As an alien boar is charging at Ben, Kevin shoves him out of the way. Meanwhile, Gwen is taken away by a deer, and Max chases after her.
Once they run away, Kevin explains that after escaping the time portal, Dr. Animo stole the Antitrix's DNA matrix and used it to make an army of creatures by fusing it with animals. They are then confronted by the mad scientist, who gloats about his success. They transform into Shock Rock and Dark Matter to fight him, and he sics the animals on them. Although the animals quickly get the upper hand, Dr. Animo accidentally lets it slip that he's using mind-control collars. The two quickly disarm the animals, and catch Dr. Animo trying to sneak away. However, he reveals one last contingency, allowing him to mind-control Kevin via the Antitrix.
Shock Rock times out, and Ben tries to run away, though he is unsuccessful. As Dark Matter reaches for Ben, the Omnitrix times back in, and he transforms into Humungousaur. As he walks back to Dr. Animo, he turns into Omni-Kix Humungousaur, and gets in a surprise attack. Dr. Animo commands Dark Matter to transform into Bashmouth. Just as Omni-Kix Humungousaur is about to defeat the two, he times out, and Bashmouth nabs him. At the last second, Max and Gwen, dressed in barbarian outfits and commanding the animals appear. The animals maul Dr. Animo as Bashmouth times out. The animals break his mind-control gauntlet. As the four leave, Gwen suggests letting the animals out of the compound, but after seeing them cause a fiery explosion, Max thinks it's better to leave them there.

==Trivia==
*The scenes where Dark Matter chased Ben through the woods and their ensuing fight with Dr. Animo were storyboarded by Kelly Turnbull.
**The scene of Dark Matter crawling around the woods was originally going to be longer, but it was cut down due to it's length and/or creepiness.
**Kelly notes that it was difficult to fit Omni-Kix Humungousaur, Bashmouth and Dr. Animo all onscreen during their fight, due to their large sizes.
*One version of the synopsis for this episode incorrectly mentions Kevin's family, who do not actually appear.
