Wildhound

**Wildhound** is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Vulpimancer from the planet Vulpin.

## Appearance

### Ben as Wildhound

Wildhound appears to be a large orange dog-like creature with no eyes, ears, nose, or tail. He stands on all fours and his movements are somewhat apelike. His teeth are very defined and his bottom jaw sticks out of his mouth. The various spines found all across his body function similarly to whiskers with tactile sensing, and are not fur. Since Wildhound has no eyes, he uses his sense of smell and hearing to navigate, which are aided by three gill-like nostrils located on each side of his neck.

In the original series, Wildhound wore a black-and-white brace with the original Omnitrix symbol on his left shoulder.

In *Back with a Vengeance*, Wildhound wore a yellow raincoat.

In *Merry Christmas*, Wildhound briefly wore fake antlers while disguised as a reindeer.

In *Don't Drink the Water*, 4-year-old Wildhound, nicknamed Wildpup, looked very similar to his 10-year-old self, but a lot smaller and thinner and having holes in place of claws.

In Destroy All Aliens, Wildhound's skin was lighter and furry, resembling that of several quadrupedal furry creatures.

In ***Race Against Time***, Wildhound looks the same, except his fur is darker.

In **Ultimate Alien**, 16-year-old Wildhound looks mostly the same except his fur is lighter in color. While his lips were still black in the **Ultimate Alien** intro, they were in the same color as his fur in the actual series. He wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest. Kevin as Wildhound shares these traits.

In *The Forge of Creation*, 10-year-old Wildhound looked mostly the same as in the original series, except his lips were in the same color has his fur, his shoulder brace did not have any white on it, and the original Omnitrix symbol was recolored green.

In *Heroes United*, 16-year-old Wildhound looked exactly the same as in the original series but his fur was a darkish orange.

In **Omniverse**, Wildhound's lips have returned to being black and his forearms are a bit bigger. 16-year-old Wildhound wears a green and white collar with the Omnitrix symbol.

11-year-old Wildhound looks closer his appearance in the original series than 10-year-old Wildhound in **Ultimate Alien**, what with the white returning to the shoulder brace, though the Omnitrix symbol is still colored green.

### Ben 10,000 as Wildhound

Ben 10,000's Wildhound was larger than his 10-year-old self, had stripes on his back, his appearance had shifted to a more feline form due to the presence of a tail. Wildhound wore the Omnitrix symbol on his forehead.

## Powers and Abilities

Wildhound's main ability is his sense of smell. As he has no eyes, his "vision" is made up of a dull 3D mapping of where his senses originate, similar to a thermograph. Combined with his enhanced hearing, his senses take the form of a radar or sonar, allowing him to still perceive his environment more clearly.

Wildhound can sense invisible entities, therefore making invisibility useless against him.

Wildhound's enhanced speed and reaction time allows him to dodge, evade, and counterattack effortlessly with the help of his senses.

Wildhound can track almost anything and anyone by their scent.

Wildhound has enhanced strength, as he could tear apart one of Vilgax's Drones with ease, throw a dumpster at a group of Limax, and tear off the roof of a car at age 10. By age 16, he is strong enough to carry a Florauna on his back without difficulty (even while running), hold his own against a Buglizard, and pin down a Merlinisapien.

Wildhound can dig deep craters at a fast speed, even while digging through solid stone ground.

Wildhound has enhanced agility that allows him to run, jump, and climb at an inhuman rate. He is highly acrobatic and gymnastic, with such movements being similar to that of an ape.

Wildhound is durable enough to survive a steel tower falling on top of him and jump through a glass window.

Wildhound is a quadruped. However, he is capable of standing on his hind legs, and he can punch, somewhat awkwardly, by doing this. In addition, his feet are prehensile, as he caught Gwen with his foot as she was about to be sucked into space.

Wildhound possesses razor-sharp teeth and claws, the latter of which he can use to climb vertical surfaces.

Because of how he does not see in the conventional sense, Wildhound is not afraid of Freakars (Toepick's species).

Although he has never trained himself to do so, the porcupine-like quills on Wildhound's back supplement his sonar and can also serve as weapons, either protecting him while he's rolling or as projectiles fired off at will. However, he can only do this when he reaches adulthood.

## Weaknesses

Wildhound cannot talk in human languages. Instead, he communicates through a combination of barking and snarling. Due to this, it is extremely difficult for anyone to understand him.

Wildhound's lack of eyes makes him completely dependent on his other senses (mainly olfactory).

Wildhound's senses are very sensitive, making him vulnerable to anything that can overwhelm his senses, such as a high-pitched sound.

Wildhound has a weakness against magic, as shown when Gwen put a spell on him.

When infected with a cold, Wildhound's nostrils (on the sides of his neck) get blocked by mucus, making him unable to smell or hear and rendering him essentially "blind." In addition, his fur discolors from its vivid orange to a pale yellowish-orange tone, and his lips and claws turn from black to a sickly dark green hue.
