Cerebrocrustacean

Cerebrocrustaceans are crab-like aliens from the stormy planet Encephalonus IV.

Anatomy
The Cerebrocrustaceans are crab-like aliens with orange or purple exoskeletons with small bumps around the face and on top of their head. Their head is very large with arms sprouting from each side. They use a neck brace to support their heads while moving out of the water, have claws, four or six spider-like legs, and a stubby body.

Their face is composed of only a pair of colorful eyes and a mouth that does not move as they speak, because they communicate through electrostatics vibrating gaseous media and liquid.

Diet
Cerebrocrustaceans are filter feeders and can project their thoughts with soundwaves.

Predators
The Cerebrucrustaceans' natural predators are the Vicetopus.

Powers/Abilities
Cerebrosrustaceans are able to open up their shells to shoot beams of electricity from their brains. These beams come in different colors, including yellow, green, red, and purple.

Cerebrocrustaceans can create electric field waves from their brains to block attacks and knock away enemies and generate protective force fields powerful enough to topple an Evolved Arburian Pelarota.

Cerebrocrustaceans are extremely intelligent, being able solve very difficult calculations mentally in roughly seconds, as well as know and visualize equations and movement of objects as if they are actually there. Ultimately, they perfectly understand the mindsets and mannerisms of enemies and the presence any useful objects around them, so they can know exactly what moves to make in battle.

Cerebrocrustaceans are durable thanks to their shells, and are strong enough to pin opponents against walls and rip apart an Arachnichimp's webbing.

Cerebrocrustaceans seem to have enhanced dexterity, despite having pincers. They are also very agile, as they can perform acrobatics such as somersaults and forward rolls.

Cerebrocrustaceans are capable of mnemokinesis, being able to alter and erase other beings' memories and thoughts by manipulating their brain pulsations.

Cerebrocrustaceans can breath underwater because they possess gills, which they have to keep moist when on land.

Weaknesses
Cerebrocrustaceans tend to be egotistical, which makes them forget how to do simple things due to their cocky attitude.

If a Cerebrocrustacean's shell is forcibly closed when they are releasing electricity, it will shock them into submissions and injure their brains.

The sonic screams of a Sonorosian can give Cerebrocrustaceans headaches, making it hard for them to concentrate. This implies that concentration is required for them to use their powers.

Language
Cerebrocrustaceans speak in a higher diction with either British or Swedish accents, depending on the individual.

Behavior
Cerebrocrustaceans consider Galvans to be their primary rivals.

History
The Cerebrocrustaceans' ancestors took advantage of the natural storms surrounding the Encephalonus planets, resulting in the destruction of three planets by using up all of their natural resources.

By the time they arrived at Encephalonus IV, the Cerebrocrustaceans had evolved to create the electricity instead of taking it away and therefore arrived as the electricity generating crustaceans you now see.

The Cerebrocustaceans are deeply ashamed of their ancestors being responsible for the destruction of their original homeworld Encephalonus I and the two other planets (Encephalonus II and Encephalonus III) in their solar system.

Omnitrix Transformation
The Omnitrix's Cerebrocrustacean representative is named Brainstorm, who first appeared in the Alien Force episode "Pier Pressure". Brainstorm has appeared in almost every subsequent series except the reboot.

Brainstorm has also been used by Albedo.

Etymology
Cerebrocrustacean is a play on "cerebrum" and "crustacean".
