You've just made a humungous mistake!

– Humungousaur, preparing to fight Rex.[1]

Humungousaur[note 1] is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Vaxasaurian[2][3] from the planet Terradino.[merch 1]

Appearance[]

Ben as Humungousaur[]

Humungousaur is a somewhat humanoid dinosaur standing about twelve feet tall with hard skin that is colored brown on its outer side and beige on its inner side. Both Gwen and Azmuth share these traits as Humungousaur.

In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Humungousaur wore the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

In Video Games, Humungousaur wore a blue motion capture suit.

In Heroes United, the plates on his chest ended in spikes and he had spikes above his eyes.

In Omniverse, Humungousaur wears black briefs with a white waistband, and a green and a black sash across his chest (going from his right shoulder to the left side of his lower back) containing the Omnitrix symbol. Humungousaur now has grey fingernails instead of brown, a slightly bigger chin, green eyes in the same hue of his Omnitrix symbol, a shorter build, and his nose is positioned on his forehead.

Albedo as Negative Humungousaur[]

In Good Copy, Bad Copy, Negative Humungousaur looked exactly like Ben's Humungousaur. In The Final Battle: Part 1, Negative Humungousaur had red eyes and his Ultimatrix symbol was red as well.

In Omniverse, Negative Humungousaur has a darker skin color, creamy-white inner side and a red Ultimatrix sash across his chest in the opposite direction as Ben's Humungousaur. His eyes are the same red as his sash.

Naljian Destructor as Humungousaur[]

The Naljian Destructor as Humungousaur looked like Ben's Humungousaur in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, but with glowing light green eyes and a glowing Omnitrix symbol.

Powers and Abilities[]

Toughest guy in the galaxy? That would be me.

– Humungousaur to the Red Robot.[4]

Humungousaur possesses incredible strength, being able to effortlessly lift and throw heavy objects up to a high altitude, even into near-earth orbit.[5][6] Technically speaking, at base size, he is physically stronger than Methanosians[DM 1] and Crystalsapiens,[DM 2] but weaker than Tetramands,[DM 1] some Highbreed,[7][8][DM 3] and Evolved Vaxasaurians. His tail is also powerful enough to easily knock away Malware's third form.[9]

Similar to Four Arms, Humungousaur is strong enough to create shock waves by clapping his hands together.[MW 1] Humungousaur can also generate earthquakes.[10]

Humungousaur has the power to increase or decrease his own body size and mass using dimensional displacement.[DM 4] He can grow bigger up to nearly 60 feet[AF Brief 1][merch 2] at will, increasing his natural strength as he grows.[DM 1] He can also shrink down to about 10 feet.[DM 5] When Humungousaur grows, his dinosaur features become more pronounced, including features such as plates on his back akin to a member of Stegosauria, a crest on his forehead, and a thagomizer (set of spikes) on his tail. The plates on his shoulders and arms also separate and grow, giving him a more ferocious look. These features give him an extra edge in battle both defensively and offensively. Humungousaur can also generate his Stegosaurian features without changing size.[11][DM 6]

Humungousaur possesses a thick, armored hide, which has proven to be durable enough to withstand getting hit by truck,[12] a fall from a very high altitude,[7] pass through Baz-l's ship's force-field,[5] and survive indirect blasts from an Evolved Vaxasaurian's missiles,[13]

Humungousaur is capable of jumping extremely high despite his size and weight.[9]

Humungousaur is quite agile for his size, as he could somersault onto one of the Forever Knights' battle horses,[14] perform a slide tackle,[6] and evade attacks while in mid-air.[9]

Humungousaur can survive in the vacuum of space for a few minutes.[15][16]

Humungousaur's immense size and weight make him very useful for moving against strong suction forces[17] and powerful winds.[18]

Humungousaur has a powerful roar,[19] which he once used to scare away a large group of reporters.[20]

Humungousaur can run on all fours in a similar fashion to a bull or a rhinoceros.[21]

Also like Four Arms, when infected with a cold, Humungousaur gains the ability to spit slime.[22]

Weaknesses[]

"Might wanna put a little size on."
"No room... in here."

– Kevin and Humungousaur.[8]

Humungousaur with his naturally large physique, makes him a very easy target for enemy attacks. Even his base size makes it impossible for him to fit into small spaces.[23]

Humungousaur is more of a land-based alien, meaning he cannot breathe or swim underwater, though he can hold his breath for a very long time. Furthermore, due to his immense size and weight he can sink in water.[19]

Being a Vaxasaurian, Humungousaur is at a massive disadvantage against a Kaosseffexx Ultimasauria due to their ability to trap him in webbing. Furthermore, Humungousaur is unable to lift them without struggling.[24][25]

Humungousaur can be stung by an Aerophibian's neuroshock blasts.[26]

Humungousaur is vulnerable to acid.[27]

Humungousaur is weak against electricity, such as that generated by Amperi[28] and the Stalker.[29]

Humungousaur can be imprisoned by mana-generated crystals.[30]

Despite being resistant to strong winds, Humungousaur can be blown away by whirlwinds generated by Ascalon.[31]

Despite being resistant to heat, Humungousaur cannot hold objects, such as sewer lids, if they become too hot for him to hold.[32]

Like Four Arms, if Humungousaur is under the effects of a cold virus, his strength and stamina will be severely reduced.[22]

Trivia[]

  • Humungousaur is the final alien used by Ben with the original Omnitrix.
  • Humungousaur is the first alien used on-screen in Ultimate Alien, as well as the first alien to go Ultimate on-screen.[33]
  • As a running gag in Omniverse's Arc 1, Ben had many unsuccessful attempts in transforming into Humungousaur until Of Predators and Prey: Part 2.
  • Out of all transformations, Humungousaur is the alien used by most characters other than Ben, having been used by Albedo, Azmuth, Vilgax's Bioids, Plant Ben, and Gwen.
    • Humungousaur is also the most used transformation in the entire Classic Continuity, appearing a total of 89 times.
  • During the pre-production stage of Alien Force, Humungousaur had concept art drawn by Eric Canete.[EC 1]
  • During Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Dwayne McDuffie and Glen Murakami sometimes gave suggestions to the writers on which aliens Ben should use in each episode, to prevent Humungousaur and Four Arms from appearing too frequently.[DM 8]
  • Humungousaur never used his size alteration powers in Omniverse because no one from the crew ever brought it up.[DJW 2]

  • Humungousaur is Ryan Kelley's favorite alien.[AC 4]

Notes[]

  1. Humungousaur was originally intended to be spelled as "Humungosaur" (which is how his name is pronounced on the show). The officially used name was a typo that stuck and became canon.[DJW 1]
