Aerophibian

Aerophibians are a species of alien from the oceanic planet Aeropela.

Physiology
Aerophibians are red humanoid manta rays with yellow or orange horns connected to their mouths of the same color, small lizard-like tails and manta ray-like wings that are yellow in the front and either red or yellow in the back. Their hips have markings that resemble gills, and they have a black zigzag pattern around their upper torso that sometimes has a yellow outline.

Although Aerophibians are traditionally red-skinned, blue-skinned Aerophibians also exist.

Powers/Abilities
Aerophibians are capable of flying at the speed of sound. They are highly adaptable, being able to can breath underwater and survive in the vacuum of space. Therefore, they are considered to be an all-terrain species.

Aerophibians can fire green laser-like "neuroshock" blasts from their eyes and tail, which they mostly use to hunt prey. These blasts are powerful enough to cause pain to Pyronites, Vaxasaurians, and Amperi, as well as destroy Sonorosian clones.

Aerophibians can charge their neuroshock tail blasts in a way that leaves a glowing green trail while flying.

Aerophibians possess enhanced strength, which extends to their prehensile feet and tail.

Weaknesses
An Aerophibian's eyesight is very limited, meaning they can only see things properly if they are very close to them.

Aerophibians accidentally can be harmed by their own neuroshock blasts if they are deflected back at them by a mirror.

Young Aerophibians may have trouble flying straight at their age, as older Aerophibians have no difficulty doing so.

According to Dwayne McDuffie, they are not as fast as Kinecelerans on the ground.

History
The Aerophibians build cities inside the spiral rocks on Aeropela. In prehistoric times, Aerophibians used their neuroshock blasts to hunt prey. Today, they mostly use these blasts for self-defense.

Omnitrix Transformation
The Omnitrix's Aerophibian representative is named Jetray, who first appeared in the Alien Force episode "Everybody Talks About the Weather". Jetray has appeared in almost every subsequent series except Omniverse.

According to Derrick J. Wyatt, the Ben Tennyson of Dimension 23 does not have an equivalent of Jetray.

Jetray has also been used by the Prime Timeline Kevin, Albedo, the Ben 10 Franklin version of Benjamin Franklin, and Ultimate Ben.

Etymology
Aerophibian is derived from "aero" and "amphibian".
