Astrodactyl

Astrodactyl is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an unknown species from the planet Terradino.
==Appearance==
Astrodactyl resembles a cross between a Pterodactyl and a glider. He has a large yellow beak-like mouth, green eyes, red skin, black and green clothing on his shoulders and waist, green braces around his wrists and ankles, and small, yellow, retractable wings that resemble a glider in appearance which are connected to a 'jetpack'-like structure on his back.
Astrodactyl wears the Omnitrix symbol on his left shoulder.

Astrodactyl is capable of flying through the aid of his 'jetpack', with his retractable wings proving stability for this ability. He can create a propulsion blast from his jetpackWhile You Were AwayAnd Then There Were None using some kind of internalized star power to enhance his flight.
Astrodactyl's star power can be used to create different forms of weapons, the most common weapon being energy whips.
Besides energy weaponry, Astrodactyl can also shoot out stars.
Astrodactyl can use his star power to fire an energy beam from his mouth.
Astrodactyl can survive in the vacuum of space.The Vampire Strikes Back
Astrodactyl possesses enhanced strength, as he was able to carry No Watch Ben in the air without any trouble, rip off goo that was too difficult for Ben Prime and Rook to break free fromCollect This and lasso a Techadon Robot into a wall.Clyde 5
Astrodactyl can combine his strength with his energy weaponry, as seen when he pulled and swung around a Techadon robot that was tied up in his energy whips.
Astrodactyl's strength also extends to his prehensile feet, as he can carry and lift a Cerebrocrustacean and a Segmentasapien using his feet.
==Weaknesses==
UPdC (436).png|Vulnerability to Electricity
Astrodactyl is very reliant on his jetpack for flying, meaning if it somehow got damaged, he would be at a disadvantage.
Astrodactyl is vulnerable to electricity, such as that generated by a Cerebrocrustacean.
Astrodactyl has a durability limit, as his head hurt after he crashed it against a ship.
Despite his flight, propulsion blasts, and space survivability, Astrodactyl cannot jump into hyperspace.

===Ben 10: Omniverse 2===
Astrodactyl is a playable alien in the game (not on 3DS).
==Naming and Translations==
==Etymology==
Astrodactyl's name is a portmanteau of the prefix "astro-", meaning star, referencing his abilities, and "pterodactyl", a flying reptile, referencing his appearance.
==Trivia==
*Whenever Astrodactyl talks or becomes excited, he "squawks" like a parrot.
*Despite both of them being flying animal-inspired aliens with green energy-related abilities, Derrick J. Wyatt did not consider Astrodactyl to be Jetray's "replacement" in Omniverse.
**The reason for this is because the crew never intended or even wanted to replace any aliens.
*The crew came up with Astrodactyl's name first before figuring out his appearance and powers from there. His appearance was eventually designed by Steven Choi.
