– Bullfrag to the Squid Monsters.[1] |
Bullfrag is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Incursean from an unknown and destroyed planet.
Appearance[]
Bullfrag is a humanoid frog-like alien with three-fingered hands and two-toed feet. He is, however, considerably taller, more muscular and paler-skinned than a typical Incursean and has a more defined jawline.
In The Frogs of War: Part 2, Bullfrag first wore a typical black-and-purple Incursean uniform as a disguise. He also wore an Incursean helmet and purple sunglasses.
As of Bengeance is Mine, Bullfrag wears green sunglasses, a black bodysuit with a green stripe down the middle, fingerless black gloves, toeless black boots with green cuffs above them, and a green belt with a white buckle.
Bullfrag wears the Omnitrix symbol on his upper chest, which was hidden under his suit during The Frogs of War: Part 2.
Powers and Abilities[]
Bullfrag has powerful jumping abilities and is very agile, much like an ordinary Earth frog.
Bullfrag has impressive hand-to-hand combat abilities, as he was able to take down Attea and a squadron of average Incurseans[2] and hold his own against a mob of Squid Monsters.[1]
Bullfrag's physique makes him stronger than an average Incursean, he was able to carry Bill Gacks in the air without any difficulty.[1]
Bullfrag is more durable than other Incurseans, as he can endure being kicked by a Tetramand.[3]
Bullfrag possesses a long, sticky and prehensile tongue, which he can use as a grappling line or to hit a distant target. It is also very strong, as it can smash boxes.[3] Its tensile strength is high enough to slow down the Billions Tower sign to a near standstill after falling from the top of a skyscraper.[4]
Bullfrag can inflate his chest to repel enemies and gain momentum to jump.[1]
Bullfrag is capable of withstanding the vacuum of space for a limited amount of time, as demonstrated by Attea.[5]
Bullfrag can hold his breath underwater for four to seven hours thanks to his respirators.[DJW 1]
Weaknesses[]
Bullfrag has a very delicate nose[DM 1] and is sensitive to strong smells, such as that of a Methanosian's swampy stench, as demonstrated with Attea and many Incursean soldiers.[6]
Bullfrag's tongue will hurt if it stretches too long.[4]
Bullfrag requires an oxygen supply to survive. Without it, he is limited to holding his breath while in space, as demonstrated with Attea.[5]
Bullfrag can be immobilized by a Necrofriggian's ice breath, as demonstrated many Incursean soldiers[5] with Milleous.[7]
Bullfrag can be trapped in webbing, such as that generated from an Arachnichimp, as demonstrated with two of the Incursean soldiers.[8]

Being the title alien, Bullfrag is playable in the game.
Before arriving on Earth, Ben, at Azmuth's instruction, needs to acquire Incursean DNA for the Omnitrix in order to prevent the Incurseans from discovering his return from exile. To ensure capable combat prowess, Ben had to acquire a sample from larger Incurseans. Upon unlocking his new Incursean transformation, Ben tries a few names such as "Crazy Legs" and "Aquattack" before settling on Bullfrag.
