Crane Fly is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Ciconulidae from the planet Hamoboscis.

Appearance

Crane Fly has a brown body with an extended abdomen that has darker brown stripes. He also has darker brown markings on his thorax. His head is primarily taken up by his green, segmented eyes aside from where his long proboscis is held, which has a light brown hook at the end. He has long, light brown legs that can extend or retract, as well as transparent, light brown wings.

Crane Fly wears the Omnitrix on his back just behind his head.

Powers

• Crane Fly has an extendable hooked proboscis that he can use to grab things or sling around as a weapon.
• Crane Fly has flight, but only to a limited extent.
• Crane Fly's legs are extendable and retractable, which make up for his limited flight.

Weaknesses

• Crane Fly's flight is uncoordinated, meaning he is not as good a flyer as most other flying aliens.
• Crane Fly's legs are rather lanky when extended which can be exploted by enemies by hitting his legs to make him fall over.
