**Ampfibian** (alternatively spelled as **AmpFibian**) is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Amperi from the planet TesslosTemplate:Refn in the Andromeda Galaxy.

## Appearance

Ampfibian is a blue jellyfish-like alien with white swipes on his body resembling lightning streaks, a main body with three-segmented skirt-like parts for his head, chest and abdomen, and six long tentacles that function as two pairs of arms and a pair of legs.

In **Ultimate Alien**, Ampfibian had pupil-less eyes and wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest. His eyes were colored blue in *Fused* due to being fused with Ra'ad, but were changed to green for the rest of his appearances.

In *Heroes United*, Ampfibian looked mostly the same as in **Ultimate Alien** except most of the white swipes on his body were missing while the ones that remained were slightly darker and shaped differently.

In **Omniverse**, Ampfibian looks almost the same as before, except the lightning streak swipes on his body have been altered, his tentacles are now pointed instead of curved, and his green eyes are larger with the black outlining in them becoming much more prominent. He wears the Omnitrix symbol on his mouth.

Ampfibian can manipulate and produce electricity that is able to stun, paralyze or kill.Template:Refn Ampfibian is also able to absorb electrical energy such as lightning and the Piscciss Volann guards' energy nets. That energy then can be launched out of his tentacles as attacks. Ampfibian is also able to use his electrokinesis to telekinetically move objects, as demonstrated by Ra'ad.

Ampfibian can generate a protective force field around himself; this feat was exclusively demonstrated by Ultimate Aggregor during his visit to the Perplexahedron.

Similar to Upgrade and Buzzshock, Ampfibian can become pure energy in order to enter electrical cables and control technology. Ampfibian can also generate a large energy blast that surrounds him, as demonstrated by Ra'ad.

Ampfibian can fly and is agile enough to dodge attacks while flying.

Similar to Ghostfreak and Big Chill, Ampfibian can make himself intangible. Correlating with this, he is capable of electrically shocking any objects and beings he phases through.

Ampfibian's tentacles can extend multiple times their length. Ampfibian also has some degree of enhanced strength, enough to restrain Phil with his tentacles.

Due to being boneless, Ampfibian is able to squeeze through small and tight spaces.Template:Refn

Ampfibian is durable enough to withstand being thrown against a wall by Solid Plugg and getting hit by an Aerophibian's neuroshock blasts.

Ampfibian can breathe underwater, as well as being able to swim at superhuman speeds. He can also safely produce and discharge electricity underwater.Template:Refn

Ampfibian can read the thoughts of other life forms by sensing the electrical pulses of their minds;Template:RefnTemplate:RefnTemplate:Refn this feat was only demonstrated by Ra'ad.

## Weaknesses

1/3
Ampfibian is weak against enemies who can drain electricity, like Phil. Furthermore, Ampfibian's electric attacks are useless against Solid Plugg because he is made out of super dense rubber.Template:Refn

Ampfibian can be harmed by an Aerophibian's neuroshock blasts.

Despite being able to use his electricity underwater, Ampfibian can accidentally shock himself if he is entering or partially in water, as demonstrated with Ra'ad.

Ampfibian's intangibility is useless against other beings that can also become intangible, as it will cancel out their abilities to do so.

## History

### Ultimate Alien

* Ampfibian first appeared in *Fused*, where his DNA was sampled and put in the Codon Stream when the Ultimatrix scanned Ra'ad's DNA. Ben remained stuck as Ampfibian due to Ra'ad being trapped in the Ultimatrix until Kevin eventually put the Ultimatrix in Reset Mode.

* In *Viktor: The Spoils*, an unconscious Ampfibian's electric abilities were forcibly used to put King Xarion's mind in Viktor's body.

* In *Inspector #13*, Kevin as Ampfibian battled several incomplete Techadon robots.
* In *Night of the Living Nightmare*, Ampfibian defeated Ultimate Kevin in a dream.

## Etymology

Ampfibian's name is a portmanteau of the words "amper" and "amphibian" (with the "ph" changed to a "pf"). It is also a pun of the word "amplify" ("amp" for short), which means to charge and increase energy, referencing Ampfibian's abilities to absorb, generate, and redirect electrical energy. The word "amphibian" is also used since most are either adapted to water, or generate their own electricity.

## Trivia

* Ampfibian was the Alien of the Month in September 2011.
* Ampfibian and the other Andromeda aliens have powers linked to a certain element; for Ampfibian, it is electricity.
* Ampfibian is the only Andromeda alien that Ben used in the same episode he was scanned in.
* As of **Omniverse**, Ampfibian and Feedback are the only aliens who generate blue electricity.
* Ampfibian was designed by Steven Choi and Chap Yaep,Template:Refn and was named by Len Wein.Template:Refn
