The Incurseans are a race of toad-like aliens who are intergalactic conquerors. They hold dominion over a substantial portion of space.[DJW 1]
Appearance[]
The Incurseans look like anthropomorphic toads. They often make frog sounds.
Male Incurseans have either slim bodies, warty toad-like heads and yellow eyes or larger forms with an even greater toad-like appearance. Genetically optimal male Incurseans, such as Bullfrag, are taller, more muscular, and less warty. Milleous has a larger figure.
Female Incurseans (judging by the sole female seen so far) look very little like the males. Attea, the only female Incursean seen so far, looked almost completely human in Alien Force, aside from the wart-free green skin, yellow sclera with red pupiled eyes and slightly large mouth.
Milleous and Attea have five fingers on each hand due to their status as royalty,[DM 1] while all other Incurseans have three fingers.
History[]
The Incurseans are a technologically advanced toad-like species from a planet that was destroyed long ago. The Incurseans have been a violent, spacefaring race for millennia. Their original homeworld was divided into many factions in an eons-long civil war.
A millennia ago, a Warrior attempted to reunite the planet with the power of Ascalon, which he stole from Azmuth. The result of misusing the sword's power, however, was the destruction of the Incursean homeworld.[1] Despite their homeworld's destruction, the Incurseans survived.
Under the command of their tyrannical leader, Lord Emperor Milleous, the Incurseans have stepped up their game to become even more hyper aggressive warrior-gangsters out for domination of the universe. Princess Attea, who had attempted to overthrow Milleous in her youth, worked her way back into her father's good graces. She became a general and was given command of the Incurseans' celebrated Calaveras Legion. Attea had a plan to take over the throne, using the Earth and Ben Tennyson, which succeeded. She is now in charge of the Incurseans.
Behavior[]
The Incurseans are a war-like race of conquerors. They are hostile to people who enter their territory. Most of the race consists of soldiers and heavily armed armadas.
Diet[]
Most Incurseans have very poor diets.[MW 1]
Powers and Abilities[]
Incurseans have powerful jumping abilities and are very agile, much like ordinary Earth frogs.
Incurseans have impressive hand-to-hand combat abilities, as Bullfrag was able to take down Attea and a squadron of average Incurseans[2] and hold his own against a mob of Squid Monsters.[3]
Incurseans have enhanced strength, as Attea can easily utilize a very large Incursean Blaster without much effort.[4] Technically speaking, Bullfrag's physique makes him stronger than an average Incursean, as he was able to carry Bill Gacks in the air without any difficulty.[3]
Incurseans have enhanced durability, as Bullfrag can endure being kicked by a Tetramand.[5]
Incurseans possess long, sticky and prehensile frog-like tongues, which they can use as a grappling line or to hit a distant target. They are also very strong, as they can smash boxes.[5] Their tensile strength is high enough to slow down the Billions Tower sign to a near standstill after falling from the top of a skyscraper.[6]
Incurseans can inflate their chest to repel enemies and gain momentum to jump, as demonstrated by Bullfrag.[3]
Incurseans are capable of withstanding the vacuum of space for a limited amount of time, as demonstrated by Attea.[7]
Incurseans can hold their breaths underwater for four to seven hours thanks to their respirators.[DJW 2]
Weaknesses[]
Incurseans have a very delicate noses[DM 2] and are sensitive to strong smells, such as that of a Methanosian's swampy stench.[8]
Because of their poor diets, most Incurseans are weak and unable to reach peak condition. Milleous in particular is rather slow and less agile due to his bulk.
An Incursean's tongue will hurt if it stretches too long.[6]
Incurseans requires an oxygen supply to survive. Without it, they are limited to holding their breath while in space, as demonstrated with Attea.[7]
Incurseans can be immobilized by a Necrofriggian's ice breath, as demonstrated with many Incursean soldiers[7] and Milleous.[9]
Incurseans can be trapped in webbing, such as that generated from an Arachnichimp.[10]
Incurseans are vulnerable to strong winds, such as that generated by a Geochelone Aerios as demonstrated with Attea .[11]
Technology[]
In combat, Incurseans use blasters and wear blue, or white, armor. To travel, Incurseans possess Spaceships and small fighter ships (used by members of the Celebrated Calaveras Legion).
The blasters Incurseans use are sometimes large in size similar to a rocket launcher and is capable of launching a frog-shaped energy beam that explode on contact.
The Incurseans make use of hover-tanks and giant wheel-like vehicles that were armed with cannons. These were seen during the Incursean invasion of Earth.

Trivia[]
- Matt Wayne considers the true spelling to be "Incursion", but in the first script he spelled it "Incursean" and that spelling is how it appears most often.[MW 2]
- Most Incurseans have Brooklyn accents.
- Incurseans grow up faster than humans, explaining how Attea can look so much older in such a short period of time.[DJW 3]
- Derrick J. Wyatt always thought of it as a different form of aging rather than accelerated aging. They have times in their lives when they go through growth spurts. It has never been mentioned how long their life span is, so they could possibly even outlive humans.[DJW 4]
- The Incurseans received a DNA Repair Gun from Simian in Simian Says.
- The original Incursean homeworld was destroyed centuries ago,[1] making their kind seemingly nomadic in form due to the fact that the only appearance of Incursean-centered locations were on spacecraft.
- The Incursean Empire refuses to recognize the authority of the Plumbers.
- Incurseans are similar to the Sontarans from Doctor Who, as they both live for war, are short and have three fingers on each hand.
- Ben owns a green Incursean flag in his bedroom.
- The Incurseans also resemble the antagonists Toads of The Toad Empire from the comic book and animated series Bucky O'Hare which follows a parallel universe (the aniverse), where a war is ongoing between the slightly inept United Animals Federation (run by mammals) and the sinister Toad Empire. The Toad Empire is led by a vast computer system known as KOMPLEX, which has brainwashed the toad population.
- The Celebrated Calaveras Legion is a reference to an 1865 short story written by Mark Twain titled The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. It is also the title story of his first book, a collection of short stories, printed in 1867. The story brought national attention to Mark Twain, and both the story and the celebrated frogs left a permanent mark on Calaveras County, a gold rush region of the California Sierra Foothills. The Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee is celebrated annually.
