Gimlinopithecus

Gimlinopithecus are yellow sasquatch-like aliens from the planet Pattersonea.

Appearance
Gimlinopithecus are bulky and ape-like in appearance. They have yellow and black fur, along with grey fingers and toes. They also have two bolts on the side of their wrist and yellow horns.

Males tend to be yellow in appearance with black areas on their limbs and white lightning bolt markings bordering these areas.

Females look similar to males, but with more white areas on their bodies, and a paler shade of yellow. They also have a more feminine figure, with a skinnier waist and voluptuous breasts.

History
Due to the lethal zones on their home planet, Gimlinopithecus adopted a nomadic lifestyle.

Behavior
Gimlinopithecus tend to be polite, unless they are playing hockey.

Powers and Abilities
Similar to Cerebrocrustaceans, Gimlinopithecus can release electrical charges from their hands, mouth and body, capable of shocking a creature much larger than them.

By covering objects with their electricity, Gimlinopithecus can telekinetically move them.

Gimlinopithecus are rather agile, and can run on all fours.

Their thick fur protects them if they wander too far into the frozen zone, while their electric field can temporarily shield them from the cosmic radiation if they find themselves in the irradiated areas.

Gimlinopithecus have enhanced strength.

Omnitrix Transformation
The Omnitrix's Gimlinopithecus representative is named Shocksquatch, who first appeared in the crossover special Ben 10-Generator Rex: Heroes United. Shocksquatch solely appears in Ultimate Alien and Omniverse.

The Ben Tennyson of Dimension 23 has an equivalent of Shocksquatch named Electricyeti, who first appeared in the Omniverse episode "Store 23".

Etymology
Gimlinopithecus is partially based on the last name of Robert "Bob" Gimlin, who filmed an apparent Bigfoot alongside Roger Patterson in a 1967 film known as Patterson-Gimlin film.

The term is also based on Gigantopithecus, a genus of large extinct apes that is believed by many cryptozoologists to be the ancestors of Bigfoot, the Yeti, and other similar cryptids.
