# Welcome!
Ben 10 has always been a series that heavily influenced my younger years. From the first series to even the fan made series people create, I love all content involving Ben 10. Others may love this series just as much so I offer you all, fans and newcomers alike, this collection of races.

___

## Where are the other aliens?

The goal of this is to create as many aliens as possible to be playable in D&D without giving the feeling like you're just a god amongst normal people. Everyone deserves to have fun in their own unique ways. So, to aid this, I will focus less on the power scale of races and more on the unique playstyle that each race can give. The rates of inspiration are mutable like the tide. So I will restrict updating this once per month, 10 aliens per month as they appear in the series. Once we reach the area of Omniverse is where aliens will just be added in randomly with each installment. Each series will also be page color coded.
___

## Ripjaws, NRG, and the rest.

There are a good amount of aliens that either cannot live in the world of dnd or the dnd world cannot live with them in it. For such aliens they will be starting with gear that effectively buffs (or nerfs) them to allow them to live in the society Dungeons and Dragons holds. Each species will have their own reasons for being in the Dungeons and Dragons worlds. The gear they have on will go to reflect this while not straying from the original media's known cannon. Like the suit NRG must wear to keep from burning the world up or breathing aparatuses for Ripjaws to allow them to breathe on land. For the DnD narrative, the base concept is that each planet is another plane instead of being a planet in space. This is up to DM discretion though.

## But this isn't "balanced"!

-----***Usfortheworld55555@gmail.com***-----
___
That there is the creator's email. If you have complaints on the races or feel they are unusable or unfair for players to have. Please shoot me over an email and 3-5 reasons why the race itself poses a problem for the DM, the party, or all players in general. If a race you *really* wanted to play doesn't end up matching with what your imagined version of them would do. I apologize for that and reccomend you check all other races here, there's a lot of choice ones!

## Heatblast

### Pyronite

The first alien to ever hit the screen seems fitting to be the first alien in this collection. Pyronites are a humanoid plasma-based race that are composed of a bright inner plasma body covered by volcanic rocks. As fire-based entities, their bodies radiate high amounts of heat. Their home plane of Pyros exists as close to the Plane of Elemental Fire as the Ethereal Plane exists with the Material. Pyros is a wide-open landscape of endless natural wonders: Infernal plumes erupt miles into the atmosphere and raging rivers of molten lava cut massive swaths across the fire-filled tundra.

Pyronites are widly varied in their skills and capabilities, becoming so advanced they have learned to master magic and technology to the same extent as great civilizations in the Material Plane.

* **Ability Score Increase.** Increase one ability score by 2, and increase a different one by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. 
* **Languages.** You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character.

In addition you can cast the spells Flaming Sphere at 5th level and Immolation at 11th level spell once with this trait as a 2nd and 5th level spell respectively, and you regain the ability to cast these spells this way when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
* **Illuminating.** You shed bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be colored as you like. Completely covering yourself in something opaque blocks this light. As a bonus action you may dim your light to half the radius of bright and dim light.

### Vulpimancer

The natives of the plane of Vulpin, a dumping ground for hazardous materials far too dangerous for other planes, Vulpimancers are apex predators. Part penal colony, part toxic waste dump, whatever life does manage to survive among Vulpin's subzero temperatures and the poisoned forests must learn to adapt to the harshest of climates. These quadrapedal, ape/dog-like creatures are intelligent however, able to use tools and complex devices but mostly prefer not to, favoring their natural wild instincts.

Vulpimancers are rare to the realms but may become swept up and lost in another plane. The strangest occurrences is that in every plane that contains a large amount of prisoners, dangerous refuse, or violent materials. Vulpimancers seem to not only appear but thrive. Their fur patterns range from reds, blues, and orange.

### Petrosapien

Petrosapiens are made of a super-hard, green/blue diamond-like material. Hailing from the ancient plane of Petropia, a plane destroyed by infighting, greed, and "The Great One" who invaded their home.

Kincelerans only have 30 years to their lives and they will spend every moment of it to the fullest. They can be found across the planes as their wanderlust and love for adventure overtake many ideas of staying home or settling down.

## Four Arms 
### Tetramand

The Tetramands are from the plane of Khoros, home of the greatest gladiators in the realms. Once a wide spanning metropolis, Khoros' culture has long since devolved from the great influx of combative sport on the plane. Now it is filled with wastelands where bloodsports take place and the only law is the law of the survival.

* **Storm Trauma.** Due to lightning being a rare occurance on your plane, you are particularly weak to lightning and electricity. You are vulnerable to lightning damage.

## Stinkfly

### Lepidopterran
Originating from Lepidopterra, a generally peaceful swamp plane whose numerous species live among a fantastic variety of giant plants. While normally farmers by trade, Lepidopterrans are most famous for their vile slime that secretes off their bodies. While making great fertilizer for some plants, this secretion leaves them constantly giving off a rancid smell of rotten eggs.

They are a rare sight to see but Lepidopterrans have been found to make insightful druids and lethal stink bombing aerial fighters.
