Hypnolizard

**Hypnolizard** is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Geckoid from the planet Geckus.

## Appearance

Hypnolizard is a five-feet-tall humanoid orange axolotl who wears a black and green jumpsuit. He has green, bulging eyes similar to that of a chameleon and a tan underbelly. He has six tendrils on his head with red fins and an orange tail with a red fin, all of which function as sensory organs. He has three fingers on each hand, and three toes on each foot.

Hypnolizard wears the Omnitrix on his chest.

## Powers and Abilities

Hypnolizard is able to mind control people within his line of sight, able to mesmerize people within a limited area.

Hypnolizard's sensory organs help him synchronize with the nervous system of the people he mesmerizes. Hypnolizard can hypnotize cats or anything cat-like to do what he wants them to do, including Appoplexians. He can also control Citrakayahs, depending on how prevalent their feline attributes are.

Hypnolizard can telepathically communicate with all plant life.
Hypnolizard can create large mushrooms within a wide radius of itself. Some of these mushrooms also double as mouths.

Hypnolizard is capable of creating fungal humanoids to defend itself. These humanoids possess teeth sharp enough to chew through steel cables.

Hypnolizard has the ability to communicate with and control certain types of animals, essentially anything falling under the category of insects and arthropods, such as wasps, spiders, termites and cockroaches. His ability seems to be telepathically based, because whenever he executes a command, his eyes glow an ominous bright green yellow color.

Hypnolizard could also tell his insect minions to cover up his entire body and form a sort of "bug suit" around him, which gives him a very muscular appearance and enhanced strength, enough to lift a full grown man into the air with one arm.
Hypnolizard can telepathically control any type of reptile. He can quickly tunnel underground, regenerate lost limbs, and has infrared vision that allows him to see a living creature through their body temperature. He also possesses enhanced strength and jumping.

Hypnolizard was shown to be able to copy the powers and abilities of different animals and then to manifest traits of these animals without changing his form. Whatever Hypnolizard absorbs, he only has the abilities of it for ten or so minutes.

In addition, local wildlife seemed to be attracted to Hypnolizard to the point whise normally shy animals would gather around him and more dangerous animals (like a bear or snake) would be tamed by his presence.

Hypnolizard has Telekinesis.

Hypnolizard has the ability to feed on the thoughts of aliens. Gwen states that he feeds on the part of the mind used to pray or meditate until there is nothing left of the victim's mind. The victim then becomes his obedient servant, evident by the orange eyes, which it is implied it can control from other dimensions.

Hypnolizard can fire a powerful laser beam from his face, and he climb walls.
