Ormerowons[1] are a race of zombie-like beings from the planet Anur Ormerow[2] in the Anur System.[3]
Biology[]
Anatomy[]
Ormerowons resemble zombies with pale tan skin and exposed pale pink muscles. Their black eyes have glowing green pupils pointed in opposite directions. Their bodies are surrounded by a glowing green, seemingly-electrical aura.
Powers and abilities[]
Ormerowons are able to absorb life energy and temporarily turn people into zombified minions.[4]
Weaknesses[]
Ormerowons are unable to drain life energy from Ectonurites since they are not alive in the conventional sense.
Ormerowons can experience fear in the presence of Toepick's Species.[1]
Culture and society[]
It is possible that the Ormerowons are among races under the command of the Ectonurites.
History[]
Shortly after Ben and Gwen Tennyson returned to Earth following their mission of fixing the Omnitrix and shutting off its self-destruct sequence, a squadron of Ormerowons arrived on the planet and attacked a mall.[2]
Notes[]
- The Omnitrix's Ormerowon representative is named Braindrain. However, this transformation is exclusively available in Ben 10,000's Omnitrix.[4]
- It is implied that the Prime Timeline Omnitrix contains Ormerowon DNA.
- Although their home planet was named during the original series, this species went unnamed in canon media until the name "Ormerowon" was coined by Derrick J. Wyatt.
- The name itself is derived from George A. Romero, the director of various films in the Night of the Living Dead franchise.
- In 2020, Tom Perkins released concept art of Braindrain's hypothetical appearance in the original series at the request of Wyatt.
- Prior to the artwork's release, Wyatt referred to a hypothetical Ormerowon transformation as "the Walking Dread".
