Atrocians are a blob-like alien species originally from Atrocius 0 before the planet was abandoned thousands of years ago.[1]
Biology[]
Anatomy[]
Atrocians resemble anthropomorphic potatoes covered in warts with short and stubby limbs.
Although they traditionally have yellow skin, Atrocians can come in other colors. For example, Pink-Worst has pink skin, Blue-Worst has blue skin, Purple-Worst and Violet-Worst have purple skin, Green-Worst has green skin, and Slim-Worst has orange skin.
Ecology[]
Atrocians are preyed on by an unnamed mosquito-like species.
Powers and abilities[]
Atrocians are indestructible on the outside of their soft yet extremely durable blob-like bodies,[1] making them immune to heavy physical attacks such as those of an Appoplexian.
Correlating with their durability, Atrocians are resistant to energy attacks, extreme heat, and acid.
Atrocians have claws that are like thick blunt nails.[1]
Weaknesses[]
Atrocians have many attributes that could hinder them in battle, such as their claws not being really sharp.[1] In general, they do not appear to be built for combat, and are thus effectively punching bags for other beings.
Despite their high durability, Atrocians can still feel pain. In fact, Taydenite can possibly break their skin.[1]
Atrocians are vulnerable to being possessed by Ectonurites.[1]
Like other organic beings, Atrocians can be aged to dust by the time rays of a Chronosapien or Chronian. However, this will take a while because of all the dead skin and calluses.[1]
Atrocians need oxygen to breathe, meaning that they can neither breathe underwater nor survive in the vacuum of space.[1]
Atrocians can be killed by weapons capable of disintegrating organic material.[1]
Culture and society[]
The Atrocians are among the filthy, disgusting alien races in the outer regions of the galaxy that the Insectoids have formed a semi-symbiotic relationship with. Because the Atrocians are unable to clean up after themselves, the Insectoids evolved as a natural sanitation solution to their garbage problem.[1]
Notable members[]
- The Worst: An Omnitrix transformation used by Ben Tennyson.
- Mad Worst: An alternate version of The Worst used by Mad Ben.[1]
- Other Atrocians include She-Worst, Green-Worst, Purple-Worst, Violet-Worst, Slim-Worst, Pink-Worst, Orange-Worst, and Blue-Worst.
Half-qualifiers[]
- Kevin 11 3.0: 17-year-old Kevin Levin of the Prime Timeline transformed into an amalgamation of 10 random aliens from the current Omnitrix, including The Worst.

Notes[]
- During the production of Ben 10: Omniverse, the Atrocians are based on Jae Hong Kim's storyboards because that is the way he would draw aliens.[1]
- Derrick J. Wyatt came up with the idea of The Worst being an indestructible alien who could still feel pain.[1]
- The Worst originally shared the same voice as Ben due to the Omnitrix malfunctioning during his debut episode and because the crew did not envision him as a usable alien for later episodes. His voice was changed because the crew liked how he turned out.[1]
- Albedo cannot transform into The Worst because he does not have access to Atrocian DNA.[1]
- The Atrocians' slobbish behavior is the reason Atrocius 0 became uninhabitable. Since then, they began living on a variety of other worlds including Atrocius VIIII, Atrocius XII, Atrocius XVI, and Atrocius XXI. In fact, they live throughout the galaxy.[1]
- While they are easy prey to many predator species in general, the predators in question consider Atrocians to be tough and unappealing.[1]
- Despite sharing the same home planet, Terroranchulas do not prey on Atrocians. [1]
- It is confirmed that the Omnitrix from the Ben 10 reboot contains Atrocian DNA.[2] Therefore, The Worst is one of the countless aliens whose DNA pod was glimpsed in the episode "Innervasion Part 5: High Override".
- The Worst was among the aliens considered to physically appear in a future season of the reboot. However, changes at WarnerMedia are putting things on pause.[2]
