Diamondhead is a Petrosapien ("Petro-" referring to rocks, "sapien" referring to the vague similarities to humans) from the planet Petropia (a portmanteau of "Petro-" and "Utopia"). Petropia is a crystal-covered world, and its inhabitants are silicon-based lifeforms made from that crystal. The majority of its inhabitants live in underground kingdoms. The different types of gems denote different races, each with its own distinct abilities and culture, and most Petrosapiens coexist peacefully. Beforehand, there was a centuries-long war between them, which led to their inadvertent discovery of space. This stabilized their civilization, and they began to explore beyond their planet.
Being made from crystal, Petrosapiens are extremely durable, and a massive amount of force is needed to cause them noticeable harm. Additionally, their sharp crystal bodies discourage physical contact. Petrosapiens can also alter their own physiologies, allowing them to regrow lost limbs if necessary or fashion crude weapons from their bodies. They can also fire crystal shards as projectiles and even grow crystal on other objects as well. Combined with their above-average strength (well above that of any human), Petrosapiens are literally living weapons. Being made of crystal, Petrosapiens can also use their bodies as prisms, refracting light and beam-based weaponry and sending it back at its source. The one drawback to their crystal form is the crystal itself, which will shatter if exposed to sufficiently strong sonic vibrations. While Petrosapiens can regenerate limbs, there is a limit to how much damage they can recover from.
First Appearance
Ben first transformed into Diamondhead in "And Then There Were 10" when he needed to fight Vilgax's giant robot.
Advantages
Is nearly invulnerable to damage.
Can morph his body-parts into extremely crude, yet sharp, tools and weapons.
Can refract both light- and beam-based weaponry.
Can fire crystal shards as razor-sharp projectile weapons.
Can grow crystal over other objects.
Can regrow lost limbs to an extent.
Can slide along crystalline surfaces.
Disadvantages
Sonic-based attacks will shatter Diamondhead's crystalline body.
His body can shatter if hit against tough objects, though he can regrow body parts to an extent.
