String Pea

String Pea is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Nocerius from the planet Pumonem.

Appearance
String Pea has the appearance of a singular, green pea, with six darker, teal-green tentacles coming out of him. He has two small, black, beady eyes.

String Pea wears the Omnitrix symbol on his forehead.

Powers

 * String Pea's pea-like appearance is utilized by his species to allow themselves to be eaten, in turn letting them act as a parasite inside whatever host ate them. His tentacles absorb nutrients from the host.
 * Should String Pea get to the stomach of the host too soon, his species is immune to stomach acid.
 * String Pea's parasitic tentacles can also stretch.
 * String Pea is quite a fast creature.

Weaknesses

 * String Pea's small stature can be a disadvantage.
 * String Pea cannot act as a parasite to inorganic life forms.

Etymology

 * String Pea's name is a play on "string bean" and "pea."
 * String Pea's species name is a play on the Latin word "noceri," meaning damage.
 * String Pea's planet name is the Latin word for lung.

Trivia

 * The idea for String Pea came from an episode of Monsters Inside Me in which a pea entered a man's lung rather than going down to his stomach, and started to grow from inside him.
 * String Pea has black eyes rather than green eyes, making him a black-eyed pea.
