Vladat

Vladats are the species from the planet Anur Vladias.

History
The Vladats originated from Anur Vladias. When it became uninhabitable, they abandoned their home planet and moved to the planet Anur Transyl, which is also the home planet of the Transylians. They were the predators of Transylians.

According to Dr. Viktor, the Vladats used his people as slaves like nothing more than beast of burden and, ultimately, as food. This is most likely due to their ability to create Corrupturas, which they used to control others.

Vladats were incinerated upon destruction in a war against the Transylians some time before Azmuth started acquiring DNA samples for the Omnitrix, and therefore their DNA was not originally in any omnitrix DNA database. They were extinct until Zs'Skayr revived Lord Transyl back to life by using power from the Alpha Rune to regenerate the deteriorated hand of its dead ruler. Ben acquired a Vladat DNA sample, creating Whampire.

Zs'Skayr and Lord Transyl made an attempt using his DNA as a template to revive the Vladat species from extinction but have been stopped by Benjamin Tennyson.

Diet
Their main source of food were Transylians, though it is later revealed that they can feed off energy from any other living beings. They also eat insects, as seen with Whampire.

Behavior
Judging from their past history with the Transylians, Dr. Viktor's hatred of them, and Lord Transyl's attitude toward Zs'Skar and others, Vladats are seen to be arrogant, cruel, and bloodthirsty. They consider other beings, (especially Ectonurites) to be inferior. To them, other beings are only useful as slaves and/or food.

Powers
Vladats posses powers that are similar to stereotypical vampires of legend. These include:
 * Flight: Using the bat-like wings under their arms, they are able to fly at high speeds, (though Lord Transyl seem to lack wings and may be flying by some other means).
 * Enhanced Strength: They can easily hold up their victims and even fly while carrying them.
 * Hypnosis: By making eye contact, they can force a victim into obeying their commands.
 * Corrupturas: In order to control multiple slaves at one time, Vladats create tiny, bat-winged devices inside their bodies and spit them out of their mouths. These devices affix them to their victims' foreheads. Unlike being under a hypnotic trance, the victims are still conscious and aware of their surroundings, but are unable to stop their bodies from obeying the vladat's commands.
 * Light Endurance: Unlike Ectonurites, Vladats are able to withstand greater amounts of light before being burned to ashes.
 * Energy Drainage: Vladats feed on the life-force energy of others (except Ectonourites) by sucking it through their fangs. Normally the Transylians are their primary prey, but they will feed on other races if necessary.
 * Sonic Explosions: Vladats can generate a powerful sonic explosion from within themselves and blow away any creature close by them for defense.
 * X-Ray Vision: They can see the internal structure (for example: blood circulation) and energy of their victims.
 * Bat Transformation

Weaknesses
Vladats cannot mind control other Vladats.

While they can last longer in sunlight than Ectonurites, they can still be harmed from exposure. It's also a matter of time before they literally burn to death.

Vladats can't drain live from Ectonurites since they don't life energy in the conventional sense. Vladats can be possessed by Ectonurites. Hoblles are immunne to control
