AmpFibian is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Amperi from an unknown planet in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Appearance
In Ultimate Alien, AmpFibian is a blue jellyfish-like alien with six long tentacles that function as two pairs of arms and a pair of legs. AmpFibian has green eyes with no pupils and white swipes on his body, resembling lightning streaks. His main body has three segmented, skirt-like parts, one for his head, chest and abdomen. AmpFibian wears the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
In Omniverse, AmpFibian looks almost the same except that the Omnitrix symbol is now on his mouth and his green eyes are larger with the black outlining in them becoming much more prominent. His fins are now pointed instead of curved (His body segments are much the same). The lightning streak swipes on his body have been altered.
Powers and Abilities
AmpFibian can manipulate and produce lightning and electricity. He can launch them in electrical blasts, and as of Cosmic Destruction he was capable of generating a large energy blast surrounding him. He can also absorb electrical energy and relaunch attacks, as seen in Deep, when AmpFibian did so to the Piscciss Volann guards' energy net. AmpFibian can also become pure energy in order to enter electrical cables.
AmpFibian has the ability to become intangible. As displayed in Inspector 13, he is capable of combining that with his electrokinesis to electrically shock objects and beings he phases through.
Even though AmpFibian has not yet trained himself to do so, Ra'ad could read Kevin's thoughts by sensing the electrical pulses of his mind.[1]
AmpFibian is capable of flight.
AmpFibian's tentacles can extend multiple times their length.
AmpFibian's lack of bones allows him to squeeze into extremely tight spaces.
AmpFibian is capable of respiring underwater and swimming at enhanced speeds.
Weaknesses
AmpFibian can use his electricity underwater, but if he is using electricity while entering water, or only part of him is in the water, he will shock himself.[2]
AmpFibian is weak against enemies who drain electricity, like Phil.
Since his body is very frail, heavy objects falling on him can make him faint.
