The Great One was a giant, tick-like alien that traveled from world to world, sucking the energy from the planets he landed on to feed himself.
History
The Great One came to Earth in The Big Tick, planning to devour it. He was destroyed from the inside by Cannonbolt.
The Great One was responsible for the complete destruction of Arburia, Cannonbolt's home planet, about a week before he tried to destroy Earth, a somewhat ironic accomplishment considering his death at the hands of an Arburian Pelarota, a species native to Arburia.
Powers and Abilities
The Great One's absorption process poisoned and eventually made the planet he fed on implode. He also caused the landscape to mutate as an extra defense, making him very difficult to attack.
The Great One's shell was nearly impenetrable as Grandpa Max and Gwen used his fallen shells to fend of the Great One's followers attacks (which didn't even scratch the shells). Also, none of Ben's aliens were able to break the shell until he finally used Cannonbolt to destroy him from the inside after he shed some of his shell.
The Great One secreted slime while shedding, which was sometimes acidic.
On top of that, the Great One was followed by a group of worshippers that wanted to make sure that he completed his task.
