The aquatic alien Ripjaws is a Pisccis Volann of the water planet Pisccis (a play on "Pisces", Latin for fish). Pisccis is one giant ocean, home to thousands of exotic species. While most Pisccians live in schools because of the safety in numbers, there are few feelings of family or friendship between them. The creatures of this world get all the more dangerous as the depth increases.
Volanns are not the biggest fish in the Pisccian sea, but are definitely the most dangerous. Part alligator, part eel, and part leech, few can match the Volanns underwater. With their powerful tails and slimy scales, Volanns are capable of incredible speed and agility in the water. Volanns have huge mouths filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth that can chomp through almost anything, and their lower jaw unhinges to allow them to swallow objects in a single bite. Alternatively, Volanns can use their claw-tipped fins to rip their enemies to shreds. Volanns can also withstand a remarkable amount of pressure, and their luminescent danglers allow them to see in the darkest of depths. Being creatures of the sea, Volanns are useless on land, being unable to walk and only able to breathe for short periods at a time. Volanns must keep their gills wet or they'll dehydrate rapidly, causing them to suffocate on dry land.
Ripjaws, the version stored in the Omnitrix, has a pair of legs hidden within his tail, allowing him to move on land. Despite this extra ability, Ripjaws' specialized nature makes him mostly useless outside of water, and hence he is one of the least-used forms on the Omnitrix.
First Appearance
Ben first transformed into Ripjaws in "The Krakken" in order to take the Krakken's eggs back from Jonah Melville.
Advantages
Can breathe underwater.
Can morph legs into a tail with fins and back again.
Is a fast and agile swimmer.
Has sharp claws and powerful jaws.
Has a luminescent antennae, allowing him to see in dark places.
Disadvantages
Ripjaws requires moisture on land to keep from dehydrating, which quickly weakens him and renders him useless.
