Decay

**Name**: Decay

**Species**: Um'ulorians

**Homeworld**: Chunnone

**Appearance**: Decay is a mummified alien with a slim build and pale skin, tinged yellow teeth, and a great deal of wrinkles around his eyes. His lips are chapped and uneven, a small mole on the right underneath, with visible scars on his right eye and under his lip. He has messy, grayish-blue hair of varying lengths, the longest clumps reaching to about his shoulders, left hanging over his face in uneven waves. His eyes and mouth are normally obscured, but when visible, they are usually stretched wide in a rather maniacal manner, their bright red irises very small. He has extremely dried skin and no flesh but skin and bone. He wears a black bodysuit with several mechanical enhancements and a trench coat with a red long flowing cloth draped around his neck. He also wears a fingerless black brace on his left hand and boots. The Omnitrix is a harness around his chest.

**Powers and Abilities**:

**Organic Decay**: He has the ability to decay, and eventually disintegrate all forms of organic matter by touch – a power which is involuntary. His touch breaks down the binding forces between organic molecules, causing organic materials to wither and reduce to a pile of dust within a matter of seconds' upon exposure to his skin. This power is even more difficult to deal with due to the fact that it wants Decay to use it. It has a "hunger", which gives Decay a desire to use it. Decay can destroy anything or anyone his hands touch, making it crumble to dust and powdered bone. Whether the target is organic or not, his ability will work without fail. As such, this power is extremely lethal against living beings, having their flesh rot away if hit by it. The speed of the disintegration has developed from slow to almost immediate, eventually spreading through their whole body if a victim doesn't amputate the decaying body part (Henry was able to avoid this by erasing Decay before it could cause further damage to his flesh). It is also possible for the effect of Decay to spread beyond what he has touched, creating a domino chain of disintegrated victims. Decay has had this ability ever since it first manifested on him, being strong enough to destroy an entire household, but due to his jumbled up memories of the event, he seemingly forgot about or mentally repressed this specific ability until halfway through the Revival Celebration, where flashes of his past started reminding him of what happened. At this early point of Decay's life, Decay's disintegration process was far weaker as it reduced affected targets down to chunks instead of dust.

**Matter Disintegration**: Decay aged rapidly because his personal life-force was constantly depleting itself. He absorbed the cohesive bio-energy from organic matter to survive, replenishing his own energies while turning the organism to dust.

**Moisture Absorption**: Decay has the natural ability to drain the moisture out of living beings or objects through physical contact. He showed he can absorb the moisture of a person to the point of total dehydration and can also break down the physical structure of objects by drying them up, making it easy to shatter or break.

**Moisture Transference**: He can also reverse the process by consuming water or any kind of liquid and transferring it back to the intended person or thing causing them to be stable again.

**Decayed Sight**: He has the ability to see the world in a dead or decaying way.

**Weakness**:

**Rapid Aging**: After using his powers to disintegrate matter, his life-force depleted itself causing him to age rapidly.

**Hunger**: Decay has a desire to decay anything he touches, making him difficult to control.

**Awful Smell**: Decay's body emits a very foul and rotten smell that can blow his cover.

**Not strong**: He's not that physically strong compared to his other aliens.

**Decay Weakness**: Because the power requires Decay to touch a solid object in order to be activated, it is possible to counter Decay through powers that allow for the manipulation of fluids or particles, which Decay cannot properly touch with his fingers. In addition, this power is not effective if he is wearing a pair of gloves. Due to the fact that the Decay's powers lies within his hands, more specifically his fingers, Decay would lose the use of Decay if he lost them, similar to other alien forms. When Angel blasted Decay's arms with Rifle, he could not use decay.
