Ghostfreak

* OA
* OS

**Ghostfreak** is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Ectunorite from the planet Anur Phaetos. Ghostfreak is Ben's 10th alien transformation and is a part of the Classic Set.

## Appearance

In Ben 10 (OS), Ghostfreak resembles a thin ghostly humanoid. He was covered in a grey second layer of skin, which presented black lines that stretched all over his body. He had a single purple eye on his face, his arms were long and thin and his lower body ended in an ever-moving gaseous tail. He could open the layer of skin over his chest to reveal tentacles covered in black and white stripes. When in his incorporeal form, the colors were almost reversed, the black lines became white and the rest of the body became a dark grey. The Omnitrix was located on his left pectoral, inside the eye track.

In Ben 10: Omnitrix Awakened (OA), once the Omnitrix is recalibrated, Ghostfreak's physiology is updated to better reflect Ben's age. Ghostfreak has become buffer and larger and his claws are now visible under the second layer of skin. It's also now more tattered in the tail area, which shares the black and white stripes of the tentacles. Spikes come out of the elbows and back, cutting through the skin. When in his incorporeal form, the colors of the tail stripes are now reversed. The Omnitrix is located on the left pectoral, inside the eye track.

## Abilities

* **Heightened Strength**: Ghostfreak is stronger than the average human, but his physical strength is limited. This means that he needs to rely on other methods to defeat enemies, such as stealth and cunning.
* **Heightened Speed**: Ghostfreak weighs very little and has a low density, meaning he's able to move swiftly without hindrance.
* **Levitation**: Ghostfreak naturally floats above surfaces due to his weight and density.
* **Flight**: Ghostfreak, in a similar way to his levitation, can also fly and move himself in any direction.
* **Incorporeal Form**: Ghostfreak can shift his density and enter his ghostly, incorporeal form, making him intangible and able to pass through objects and individuals. In this form, not many things can interact with him.
* **Invisibility**: An additional ability relating to Ghostfreak's incorporeal form is his ability to become completely invisible, allowing him to remain unseen and unpredictable in many situations. Ghostfreak can become invisible without becoming incorporeal, meaning he can fight and touch objects even though he's not visible.
* **Tentacles**: Underneath Ghostfreak's layer of skin is his true form, which Ben never uses due to its resemblance of Zs'Skayr. However, partially opening the front section is done to reveal his true form's tentacles, which Ghostfreak can use to scare, grab, or attack opponents with.
* **Claws**: Ghostfreak has long, pointed claws at the end of his fingers, which is his main offensive stregth. Using these claws, he can slash at and damage most opponents. However, his claws are weak and ineffective against metal.
* **Eye Track**: Ghostfreak may only have one eye, but his eye is able to move along the tracks in his skin, allowing him to have vision at any angle.

## Weaknesses

* **Incorporeal Form Weaknesses**: While his incorporeal form is effective against most, certain enemies and substances can still interact with Ghostfreak during this period. If an enemy also has an incorporeal form, such as other Ectonurites like Zs'Skayr, then they cancel each other out and are rendered useless. Certain substances can also permeate his incorporeal form, also rendering it useless and forcing him to become tangible.
* **Sunlight**: Sunlight does not harm Ghostfreak while his skin covers his true form, but it does render him weaker and slower than usual. Ghostfreak is best utilized at night, where he can remain unhindered by the sunlight. If ever in his true form, Ghostfreak will be subject to intense pain and degradation, which will eventually lead him to being disintegrated and turned to dust. This would happen to a typical Ectonurite, at least, but as Ben's transformation, the Omnitrix would simply revert Ben back to his human form.

## History

* **2005 (OS)**: Ghostfreak was unlocked in **And Then There Were 10**, after which he was used several times during Ben's summer vacation. Ben lost access to him due to Zs'Skayr, whose consciousness had taken over the transformation and broke out of the Omnitrix.
* **Before 2010 (OA)**: After 2005 and before 2010, Ben didn't use Ghostfreak as much because the chance of Zs'Skayr taking over never stopped. In 2008, Zs'Skayr took over once again due to a mistransformation, which led to Ben using the watch less and being more cautious.
* **2010 (OA)**: Following the recalibration of the Omnitrix, Ghostfreak's DNA was sedated, allowing Ben to use him once again without the threat of Zs'Skayr taking over.

## Trivia

* If Omnitrix Awakened was an actual animated property, AwesomeAlan1 has said that he would want Ghostfreak to be voiced by his original voice actor, Steve Blum.
