TailPorter

**TailPorter** is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Tachyvulimpus from an accretion disc of the black hole SNC-37949, which is located in the Andromeda Galaxy in 5 Years Later.

## Appearance

TailPorter resembles a small foxlike impish creature with a relatively long tail and large ears. He has orange fur with darker red stripes that have a swirling pattern. He has two small horns on his head, with four spikes near the end of his tail.

The Omnitrix symbol is located on his stomach.

## Abilities

* **Tachyonic Bodily Conversion-** TailPorter can convert his body into faster than light tachyons allowing him to teleport essentially anywhere. The limits of his range is unknown but are at least interstellar.
* **Lightspeed Ramming-** As he teleports, there is a period where he accelerates to near lightspeed before vanishing completely. If he charges up an attack, he can remain tangible for a time as he does this, utilizing the buildup offensively by ramming into things.
* **Near Invulnerability-** While his body is made of tachyons, he is effectively intangible and during the conversion process, is virtually indestructible for a very brief time.
* **Space Survivability-** TailPorter is able to survive in space.
* **Radiation Survivability-** TailPorter is resistant to radiation.
* **Danger Sense-** TailPorter can sense incoming objects heading in his direction.
* **Pseudo Time Travel-** Traveling faster than light as tachyons allow TailPorter to rematerialize in a different location a mere moment prior to teleporting.

## Weaknesses

* **Limited Stamina-** Repeated teleportations across vast distances over a short period of time can quickly wear out TailPorter to the point of exhaustion. If he keeps himself limited to a short-range, however, he's not at any risk of tiring, no more than a human walking. Teleporting once across a hundred light-years would feel like a human feeling fine one moment and be exhausted from a 10-hour all-out marathon the next moment.
* **Recklessness-** This species makes Ben rather reckless, leaving him with no consideration for potential collateral damage to himself or others.

## Mythology

It is theorized that their original home planet was consumed by the Roche limit of the black hole. Living in the accretion disc with objects orbiting at incredibly fast relativistic speeds caused the Tachyvulimpus to evolve to sense oncoming danger allowing them to teleport out of the way of incoming objects and projectiles. The Tachyvulimpus are also quite incautious due to them constantly ramming into asteroids with no regards for potential collateral damage. The strongest known impact on record from a Tachyvulimpus measured in at 300 Gigatons.

## Trivia

* The name for SNC-37949 comes from adding the values of the base 36 numbers "BLK" and "HOL" together in base 10.
* The prefix SNC is based on black holes named under the NGC (New General Catalogue).
* 2 Tachyvulimpus can be seen hanging out in the Sluice Slopes on X'Nelli in the 10th episode of And Beyond.
* TailPorter was featured in the video Can A Non-Ben 10 Fan Guess Real or Fake Aliens? (Drinking Game) as the 24th alien at the 23 minutes and 50 second mark. TailPorter was able to trick the guest Paul D into believing that he was an alien from the show, with Paul taking a shot to learn his name. Paul also mentioned how the fur pattern reminded him of his cat Leo.
