Pyronite

The Pyronites are humanoid magma-based aliens from the planet-like star Pyros.

Anatomy
Pyronites are a humanoid species who are composed of flames and rock that flare up on their head like hair and they have redish rocks covering their bodies.

Female Pyronites are basically the same as male Pyronites, except they have more curved figures and their chests slightly jut outward.

Predator
The Pyronites' natural predators are Crabdozers.

Powers and Abilities
Pyronites are masters of fire, capable of generating flames from their bodies in many forms. The flames can be projected as weapons, breathed out of their mouths, or used to provide flight.

Pyronites are not limited to simply creating fire. Because their bodies are naturally heat convective, they are able to absorb heat, effectively allowing them to put out fires.

Since they are literally made of fire, Pyronites are fireproof, heat-resistant, and invulnerable to magma. They are also cold-resistant and ice-proof thanks to the heat they produce.

Pyronites appear to have enhanced durability. For Omni-Enhanced Pyronites, their natural durability is increased thanks to their rock-like armor. Similarly, Omni-Kix Pyronites are more durable thanks to their Omni-Kix armor.

Pyronites are capable of limited terrakinesis by channeling fire through the ground. One result of this capability is the ability to "surf" through the air on a board of rock.

Due to the alterations Kevin Levin has made to the Antitrix, Hot Shot is more powerful than ordinary Pyronites.

Omni-Enhanced Pyronites gain jetpacks for flight, electrokinesis, and increased resistance to water.

Omni-Kix Pyronites are equipped with flamethrower arms that can shoot either fireballs or a stream of flames.

Weaknesses
Because of their heat and fire based nature, Pyronites do not react well to water, fire retardants, or a Crabdozer's saliva. Exposure to these substances can temporarily extinguish their flames, preventing them from using the full extent of their abilities.

A Pyronite's fire attacks are useless against certain materials, including a Crabdozer's fireproof skin, Petrosapiens and anything else diamond-related. Even the most intense heatwave they can generate are ineffective against a Chimera Sui Generis.

When under the effects of an Earth cold, a Pyronite's pyrokinesis is replaced with cryokinesis. Despite these new powers, the effected Pyronite works completely "nonfunctional" to their fiery nature and the cold will still prejudices their health.

Behavior
Due to their homeworld being a planet-like star, Pyronites have had limited contact with other alien species. Because of this, they have spent their whole lives perfecting their pyrokinetic abilities.

Society
Pyronites seek to perfect their pyrokinetic powers by trying many different extreme sports, like windsurfing and Dune Buggy racing.

History
During one of their games, the Pyronites were visited by the Ekoplektoids, who came to Pyros unexpectedly to search for more space for their own kind.

Kineceleran representatives came to Pyros to discuss with the Pyronites about the diplomacy while the younger members of both races played a heated game of fire balls.

Omnitrix Transformation
The Omnitrix's Pyronite representative is named Heatblast, who first appeared in the original series episode "And Then There Were 10". Heatblast has appeared in almost every series except Alien Force.

The Ben Tennyson of Dimension 23 has an equivalent of Heatblast named Charcoal Man, who was confirmed to exist in the Omniverse episode "Store 23".

The reboot version of Kevin 11 has a mutant hybrid equivalent of Heatblast named Hot Shot, who first appeared in the episode "Which Watch".

Heatblast has also been used by the Prime Timeline Kevin, the "What-If" Gwen 10, Ben 10,000, Race Against Time Ben, Ultimate Ben, and the Alpha Nanite.

Etymology
The name Pyronite comes from "pyro", relating to heat and fire.
