Ectonurite

An Ectonurite in its ghostly form

The **Ectonurites**, alternatively known as **Ectonurians**, are a race of ghostly aliens from the planet Anur Phaetos in the Anur System from the series, Ben 10.

## Physiology

Ectonurites are ghost-like aliens with a frightening skeletal appearance which is concealed by their second skin layers. Without their secondary skin, they have dark blue skin, sharp teeth and claws, exposed bones in certain places, and sinister-looking skulls.

Without their second layer of skin, Ectonurites look like misshapen horrors. They possess an exposed skull with sparse teeth for a head, only one eye, dark blue skin, exposed bones on certain parts of their bodies, black claws, a big gaping hole in their chest with black and white striped tentacles hanging out, and speak with an eerie, creepy voice. Ectonurites can rotate their heads so they can be upside-down or the right way up. Ectonurites can also develop deformities such as having one arm larger than the other, having three heads, having more than one eye, or having pink lips.

## Pre-Apocalypse

The Ectonurites have been living on the planet, Anur Phaetos, in the Anur System under the rule of the High Ecto-Lord. Yet many of them immigrated to the world of Anur Transyl. A steampunk, mechanized planet that belong to the Transylians. As for how a strand of DNA of one of them got into the Omnitrix is still unknown.

Like all races of the Anur System, they prefer to keep their isolationism due to certain fears. One of these fears include humans since the many inhabitants of the Anur System have been feared and hunted down by humans. Which was demonstrated when Ben Tennyson and co. visited the system when getting new DNA for the Omnitrix. But there are certain species that fear the sunlight and unable to stand it. However, they do make dealings with creatures similar to them when in the psyche multiverse. Trade is limited to the Anur System as the people don't want to risk exposing themselves. Yet there are many that do enjoy various manga and comics about monsters that are able to live alongside humans such as Princess Resurrection, Dance in the Vampire Bund, Blood Lad and many more. Some of them even play a few games where they play as monsters such as Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse and the Legacy of Kain series. But only a small number of people have played them.

## Post Apocalypse

When the apocalypse came, only a small number of them managed to find their way towards Earth. Romania to be exact. Here, along with a few from the Anur System, managed to find refuge in this nation under the watchful eye of Dracula. Here, along with many night creatures, they feel at home and even cooperate with the humans living in this nation. Even protect them from invaders.

Others went off to seek power in the darkest reaches of space. Others are scattered across different worlds in the most darkest caves and tunnels. Even places that are long abandoned. Some of them can even be hiding among the populace on various planets and won't even know it until they discover them. Many may confuse them as ghosts, but some say that the Ectonurites eat the ghosts and take their place. So, it is almost impossible to find or detect them unless you start messing with their homes.
