==Behavior==
Tetramands are a warrior race. Generally speaking, they are fairly aggressive and favor violence.
By nature, Tetramands are extremely emotional creatures, just like Humans.Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix
Because female Tetramands are traditionally stronger than males, they are in turn considered the better warriors, and due to this, if a male Tetramand manages to defeat a female Tetramand, the male becomes the female's chosen husband.Many Happy Returns
As a Tetramandian custom, the bride collects four items before a wedding: "Something conquered, something bruised, something severed, and something blue."Rules of Engagement
Tetramands are not very amicable towards outsiders, as in the case of Kevin when he went to get one of their Tetramand Engine Blocks for his car. Initially, he was refused, until he agreed to marry Princess Looma in three years, after which he was allowed to have the Engine Block.
Tetramands are very strict in the upholding of their laws; an offender whose crime was merely jumping the turnstiles at an auto show was buried up to his neck in sand.OTTO Motives
Tetramands are not big on exceptions, even to other law enforcement officers like the Plumbers.Kevin Levin
Tetramands have a unique way of settling court cases: through combat. They have the right to fight their accusers in a battle arena, and the winner of the Tetramand Trial of Combat emerges victorious in the case. The rules don't that the person must remain a Tetramand throughout the process.ChadzmuthUniverse vs. Tennyson
Tetramands are a spacefaring race that are a part of galactic society. They may either settle on any number of worlds and raise a family or live their lives on starships that rarely return home to Khoros, if ever.
Tetramands live in very close knit family tribes and defend their kin to the death.

A Tetramand's strength allows them to use anything heavy as a weapon, from big rocks they can throw several feet away, to metal beams and pillars that can be used as clubs. Their great strength even extends to their jaws and bites, allowing them to bite metal and damage it.The Unnaturals
The older a Tetrmand grows, the stronger they become.The Forge of Creation By age 16, Four Arms has become strong to the point where he was able to overpower Looma Red Wind, the princess of Khoros, despite female Tetramands being generally stronger than their male counterparts.Rook Blonko

Tetramands have a high level of enhanced durability due to their tough and thorny skin, as Four Arms was able to casually take missiles from a MechadroidThe Visitor and a slash to the chest from Malware while barely feeling any pain.Trouble Helix In correlation to their durable skin, Tetramands are highly resistant to fire and intense heat, such as that generated by a Pyronite.Framed
Tetramands can jump several times their own height, at least seven stories up, in a single bound.Washington B.C.Blukic and Driba Go to Mr. Smoothy's
Tetramands have enhanced reflexes, as Four Arms was able to catch and redirect missiles in a single motion.
Tetramands are immune to extremely cold temperatures, demonstrated when Four Arms fought Dr. Animo's yeti on top of a snowy mountain,Escape From Aggregor and when he was able to survive on Mikd'lty.Map of Infinity

A Tetramand's bulk can sometimes become a disadvantage, as their immense size makes him an easy target for enemy attacks. A Tetramand's size can make moving through areas designed for small species difficult.Kevin 11Moonstruck
Tetramands can feel tremendous pain from electricity, such as that generated by SixSix's electric grenadesThe Galactic Enforcers Galvanic MechamorphsKen 10 and Gimlinopithecus.
