Beast Switch

**Name**: Beast Switch

**Species**: Rauphoks

**Homeworld**: Crarvis RO

**Appearance**: Beast Switch is a green skinned well built humanoid with with red eyes and dark green hair. He also has canine teeth and pointy ears. For some time he took a simian-like form, during which he had dark green fur and a prehensile monkey tail in proportion to his size. He wears a black and red single piece uniform, which shrinks down to a collar when he adopts a fully animal form. Beast Switch also wears a pair of small discs on his Bio-Suit collar that allow him to audibly speak while in animal form. The Omnitrix is on his left wrist.

**Powers and Abilities**:

**Rauphoks Physiology**: Hailing from the planet, Crarvis RO, the Rauphoks has unique ability to change into any animal form.

**Terrestrial Metamorph**: Beast Switch has the ability to morph into any animal he knows of. He can change into extinct animals and even animals from different planets. When he changes, it only takes a couple of seconds. It does not matter how big or small. It does not put strain on him to do this. He can stay in an animal's form indefinitely. He has changed into multiple animals such as a swarm of fireflies and a group of barnacles. The only problem is no matter what form he takes the animal's skin and hair color will always be green. Beast Switch can also change into a hybrid, which has all the animals' powers rolled into one. He cannot control this so he does not turn into a hybrid unless absolutely needed. He has demonstrated the ability to transform into animals many times larger than their actual forms: among others, he has been seen transforming into a human-sized tarantula and a giant snake. He has also been seen transforming into mythical animals such as a phoenix and a dragon. Whether this is a progression of his abilities or a new power altogether is unknown. Beast Switch can transform his body into any known animal on Earth, past and present. He has also been known to change into alien life forms on occasion. Beast Switch can always revert back to his human form at any time of his choosing, or shift into numerous animal forms in rapid succession. Beast Switch is incapable of speech in animal form unless he takes the form of an animal that can talk, such as a parrot, and his "natural" green coloring remains the same in any form, making him easily recognizable. He seems to possess a degree of heightened senses in his default human form, having hearing sensitive enough to detect a stealthily approaching enemy. Apparently, Beast Switch was at first unable to shift into forms much larger than himself, such as a Tyrannosaurus rex (or possibly other dinosaurs), but later overcame this. He can also change into alien animals that he has seen firsthand, although he did not know this until he tried it. When his Werebeast form first obtained in combat with Adonis, Beast Switch possesses greatly enhanced strength, agility and speed, in addition to heightened senses and healing. However, this form is apparently also more feral, and his human consciousness and judgment are partially subdued when in this form; as a result, this shape is rarely used. This form is easily one of Beast Switch's strongest known forms to date as it took the combined efforts of the Teen Titans and Young Avengers, and even then they only succeeded in getting him to back down. He is also able to transform into a gigantic animal native to Starfire's homeworld of Tamaran. It appears to be used as a ferocious guard dog. It is possible, as a Tamaranean guard ran in fear from him, that this form could at least match or exceed a Tamaranean in strength. He only used this form once however, so the full extent of his extraterrestrial powers is unknown. It is shown that Beast Switch has become capable of turning into a Werewolf. Normal animals native to earth are easy to transform into and control, however Beast Switch can transform into other unknown creatures and while in these forms he cannot control them as easily. In the years he has mastered his abilities to the point where he can selectively transform only certain parts of his body while maintaining the rest human or assume an animal-human hybrid form similar to that of a werewolf.

**Animal Mimicry**: Beast Switch has the power to mimic the abilities of any animal he knows of while he is in their form. The ability apparently gives him intuitive understanding of the animals and what abilities they have that may be useful in the situation.

**Animal Empathy**: He can sense the intentions and emotional state of animals.

**Weakness**:

**Colors**: Due to his skin being green, that extends to his animal forms, making it easier for enemies to tell him apart.

**Lack of Speech**: Beast Switch cannot talk in human languages while in his animal forms unless he takes the form of an animal that can talk, such as a parrot. Instead, he communicates through a combination of animal sounds, depending on whatever animal form he turned into. Due to this, it is extremely difficult for anyone to understand him unless he turns back to normal or turn back to his human form. However, Beast Switch gains a translator that allow him to audibly speak while in animal form, thus negating this weakness.

If Beast Switch is unconscious for a short while, he will revert back to human form. Sometimes, if Beast Switch is in a tight suit or if he hits something during his transformation, he will be unable to transform. When Beast Switch is sick, he cannot control his shapeshifting abilities and transforms every time he sneezes. It has been shown multiple times that Beast Switch is highly vulnerable to hypnosis - a single glance is enough to put him into a complete trance.
