Transylian

Transylians are an extraterrestrial species of Frankenstein's Monster-like humanoids from the planet Anur Transyl. They are one of several races under the command of the Ectonurites.

Anatomy
Transylians are a human-like species which resemble Frankenstein's monster in the sense that they have stitched across their body. They also have a pair of metallic-organic generator-like growths on their backs.

Powers/Abilities
Transylians are capable of shooting electric bursts from either their hands or the generators on their backs that are powerful enough to harm Evolved Necrofriggians. Their bio-electricity discharge is naturally colored green, though it comes in other colors such as purple and blue.

Transylians can attach to metal surfaces using electromagnetism.

Transylians can survive in the vacuum of space, likely due to their undead-like nature.

Transylians possess enhanced durability and are immune to intense heat. They also possess enhanced strength and dexterity.

Like the other races in the Anur System, Transylians are immune to the effects of Corrodium.

Weaknesses
Transylians can be harmed by the impact of the electrical attacks of their own brethren.

As their generator-like growths are the source of their electricity, opponents such as a hybrid Terroranchula can absorb electricity through them.

Certain Transylians are unable to fit through small or tight spaces.

Transylians can be controlled by a Vladat's Corrupturas.

Behavior
Depending on the individual, Transylians have a myriad of personalities, though according to Viktor, they commonly share a hatred of Vladats, due to being enslaved by them and used ultimately as food in the past.

Transylians are not too friendly towards beings from outside the Anur System and view them as monsters.

Transylians view anything hideously ugly as attractive. For example, Viktoria had a crush on Ben Tennyson while he developed a severe case of acne, a side-effect of Swampfire undergoing his "blossoming".

History
Anur Transyl used to be home of two different races: the Transylians and the Vladats. The Transylians were the Vladats' main source of food until the Transylians rebelled against the Vladats, using superior technology that they had developed in secret, they hunted all Vladats on Anur Transyl into utter extinction and became the dominant species on Anur Transyl.

Like the other inhabitants of the Anur System, Transylians have become enslaved by the Ectonurites.

At some point, Transylians learned how to harness the lightning from Anur Transyl's giant storms with their own electric powers.

Omnitrix Transformation
The Omnitrix's Transylian representative is named Frankenstrike (formally known as Benviktor), who first appeared in the original series episode "Be Afraid of the Dark" after the Omnitrix "sampled" Viktor's DNA. Frankenstrike solely appears in the original series and Omniverse.

The Ben Tennyson of Dimension 23 has an equivalent of Frankenstrike named Lightning Volt, who first appeared in the Omniverse episode "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Ben World: Part 2".

Frankenstrike has also been used by Benzarro.

Etymology
The name Transylian is a play on Transylvania.
