Well, yeah. But is Articguana pregnant? I doubt it.

I think we all know Heatblast is the best Cryokinesis user. (if you know you know)

fun fact: in the Arabic dub they called him قرش القطب، translates to Polar Shark, i grew up my whole life thinking he was a shark

Articguana if ben realize his potential earlier he could've froze many army/ships within little to no time

Artiguana's feels more like an ice ray in comparison to Big Chill's ice breath, which might explain the difference in intensity or power.

Big Chill vs Arctiguana is like varied skillset vs min-maxing. Arctiguana only has his ice breath, bur he compensates with raw power. Likewise the more creative uses of his breath could be seen as a way to compensate for his lack of other abilities: Instead of flying, he freezes the terrain to give him more mobility; he can't go intangible, so the next best thing for defense would be making ice walls.

I can think Ben having multiple forms with similar abilities can work if make it so that there are certain applications that Ben would have to realize that sometimes the superior alien can’t do.

For example with Swampfire Ben might be in a situation where he has to absorb fire in order for it not to spread and he doesn’t unfortunately have access to Heatblast.

Another example Ben could be in a situation in water where it requires the strength of Ripjaw’s bite specifically instead of Jetray’s neuroshock or Ampfibian’s electricity.

Look at Dragon Ball for example: Goku still uses old forms to save energy or because old forms allow him to do certain things new forms can’t.

Another example Goku can still be himself in Ultra Instinct Sign and even fuse Super saiyan God into it

That’s like saying Spitter is pointless because Water Hazard exists, which we all know can’t be true because Spitter is peak and godly

I would only say one thing about the Vilgax feat is that Big Chill forms an ice crystal around Vilgax so he escapes, but Arctiguana froze him in a large body of (presumably) water. so, he would be under the weight of that and it would be a more solid structure and be more difficult to break out of

I think there could be a scene where indoors arctiguana freezes the whole place without using maximum effort. Not like a beam but like a slight breath and thatsenough to freeze the place. Then he says something like “youre in my area now” and then he uses the ice to move a lot faster and taking out the enemies. That would be pretty chill

He's like top 3 aliens for me, along side Chromastone and Ampfibian

I love how Omniverse made him a more melee fighter compared to big chill, specially love how he moves, parkour ice gecko

His ice breath looking like a glowing laser definitely makes me think they took inspiration from Godzilla

I think it’s difficult to gauge Arctiguana’a effectiveness over Big Chill considering Arctiguana’s low screentime gives him less feats while Big Chill’s insane screentime makes him feel like he has way more losses. His fight against tetrax is sick as hell though no denying

Very much so looking forward to more obscure Aliens getting better representation/usage in the Dynamite comic seeing as Man of Action are the ones who made the original 3 Ben 10k exclusives

5:06 Xtranceiver sounds and call screen?? Bro knows ball.

Arctiguana is in my top 10  :>  I love that he has a non-humanoid design. His power might be simple, but he utilizes it in a variety of ways. Also, the fact that there are other types of Manzardill is intriguing. I'd like to see what the others look like and what they could do (imagine an entire Omnitrix playlist of just Manzardills lmao). Knowing that lore as a kid reminded me of the Zards from AdventureQuest. They were these reptilian monsters that came in a ton of different elemental varieties, and they always had "zard" at the end of their name (I remember the ice ones being called "BlizZards").

Arctiguana is my all time fav alien. And it sure as hell isn't irrlavent or useless if sonit would have gotten the same treatment as other aliens like spitter where it only appears once. Not to mention it getting an ultimate form on top of returning a couple of times in omniverse.

The Vilgax example is flawed because Arctiguana had a body of water to freeze over to hold his Vilgax while Big Chill only had the surrounding air to work with.

I cant believe that you tube hid this master peace of a video for 8 days

8:54 I always liked 11 year old Ben having Arctiguana since young Ben was the reason of how Ben 10,000 got the name for the alien
