Ripjaws

Ripjaws

The aquatic alien Ripjaws (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) is a Piscciss Volann (from Pisces, a fish in astrology) of the water planet Piscciss.^[11] Ben first transformed into Ripjaws in "The Krakken" in order to take the Krakken's eggs back from Jonah Melville. Because of the extremely specific conditions required to maintain Ripjaws, he is rarely used.

Ripjaws shares a number of traits of Earth aquatic lifeforms — namely alligators, eels, anglerfish, sharks — combined into a single being. Naturally, his main ability is being able to breathe underwater. Ripjaws can also withstand a remarkable amount of pressure, and his luminescent dangler allows him to see in the darkest of depths (or otherwise dark areas). He can swim at great speeds, and his sharp teeth and claws can pierce though almost anything. His lower jaw can unhinge to allow him to bite much larger objects.^[11] Though his tail hides a pair of legs for travel on land, Ripjaws is limited by his need to remain hydrated, dehydrating rapidly if left out of the water for even a few minutes.
