Thornhenge is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Fhloroan Colossal from the planet Osteos, created by SOULARCHER20.

Appearance

Thornhenge's has a mustard yellow coloured four-legged canine-like body with forearms larger than his hind legs, in which his arms are sprawled and curled outwards. He possesses 4 dexterous fingers and toes on each hand with 3" long black claws on each of them. His back is curled showing immense spine spike protruding out from his back whenever he bends it. His head is almost snout-like with his eyes being directly in position of his nostrils, with 2 layers of sharp yellow teeth in his mouth. With the exception of his legs, which are covered in black pants, his entire body is covered in sharp spikes and thorns. The Omnitrix is located on a belt on his waist.

Powers and Abilities

Thornhenge's primary ability is his ability to generate spikes from the silicon-like minerals in his skin and bones. These spikes can elongate and be used for a variety of uses, from being sharp swords to projectiles capable of piercing stone. The durability of these spikes changes based on where they were generated from, with his bone spikes being sharper and stronger than his skin spikes. He can also generate smaller spikes on his normal spikes. He could even create spike grenades, which could explode spikes in certain objects and cause them to spike out.

Thornhenge can retract and grow these spikes from his body at will, and can easily break them off. He can also cause his arms to turn spiky, making them effective weapons in close combat by using them as swords or drills if he spins them. He can also cause spikes to explode out of his back, making it difficult to hold onto him. He is also able to create a form of elasticity in his body simply by generating larger and smaller spikes onto any of his limbs.

Thornhenge can generate monstrous thorn constructs from the ground due to the high abundance of silicon found there. These thorn constructs seem to be able to flexibly move as if the were tendrils, as they are capable of curving into different directions. It would appear that these movements are made through a telepathic connection to Thornhenge, as he seems to be proficient in controlling their movement.

Thornhenge is capable of regenerating lost limbs, including his head, simply by generating new amounts of thorns on his lost body parts. Like Anatacles, he could create decoys and transfer his consciousness between each one, though he is also able to do these without severing his limbs. Additionally, since his body is made of thorns, he can create holes in his body to allow objects to safely slide through him.

He is capable of creating small explosions from his body, firing his spikes across a large area. He can also manipulate his thorns to make them softer and blunt, allowing him to safely catch his victims without much harm. He is flexible enough to curl into a spiky ball and slam into his enemies, while the spikes give him additional traction and speed, while also enabling him to stick to surfaces, travel uphill and burrow into the ground. The latter ability can also be achieved by thinning his body into a single flexible spike and traveling underground, which also allows him to travel through small spaces.

Thornhenge has 2 layers of teeth in each jaw, and they are extremely sharp and capable of rotating like a shredder.

His spines can detect vibrations and atmospheric pressure, allowing Thornhenge to predict the weather and his incoming attacks, giving him advanced reflexes.

By growing spikes on his feet or extending his nails, Thornhenge can scale walls and run at fast speeds thanks to the additional traction, which prevent him from slipping or getting stuck in adhesives. He is capable of running on all four legs or two legs, including his front legs, which suggest he has enhanced agility. He is also very dexterous and is capable of utilising his feet as hands.

He possesses enhanced strength, enabling him to shred a wide variety of materials, and enhanced durability, allowing him to resist high impacts. In case of the latter, he is also able to injure his enemies when they physically attack him thanks to his spikes giving him extra protection.

He feeds through photosynthesis, which can also cause his spike constructs to grow faster and more vigorously.

He can grow spiky wings which allow him to fly.

He is capable of planting his own spikes into the ground, in which they would slowly grow into spiky cactus-like plants. By controlling their roots, Thornhenge could terraform the surrounding terrain to a limited extent. Ben has not learned how to use this ability yet.

Weaknesses

Being almost plant-like, Thornhenge is severely weak to extreme high and low temperatures, such as ice and fire. His spike constructs can be made weak and even break if they are exposed for a period of time.

When Thornhenge goes into a decoy body, or becomes a single spike snake, it would take a while for him to completely regenerate his full body. He is also more weaker in these forms, and can only use his powers to half their average power.

He is weaker in dark areas as he requires photons to feed on. He also cannot generate his spike constructs from areas other than his body if there is no silicon present, nor control spikes not generated by him. He also cannot grow spikes from silicon within organic species, such as Sonorosians.

He could do unintentional harm to his surroundings and allies due to the excessive amount of spikes on his body. He counters this weakness by blunting his spikes, though they require more energy.

There is a limit to how much damage Thornhenge could recover from at a time, as he is unable to regenerate if he is continuously attacked. It is also confirmed that he could be split into extremely small spines and burned, which could kill him. Ben even stated that regenerating as Thornhenge is quite uncomfortable.

He constantly sheds his spines, meaning that he could leave a trail of spikes that his enemies could follow. His sharp spikes could also create holes in the surfaces he hits, further reducing his stealth skills.

He has spikes on his tongue, which makes it extremely difficult for him to eat.

Like male Petrosapiens, his spikes can leave him stuck to surfaces. This also works in reverse, as unwanted objects could get stuck on his spines. He counters these problems by retracting or shedding his spines.

History

• Thornhenge first appeared in Ten in One, where Ben transformed into him with the Omnitrix for the first time and accidentally fired his spikes throughout his apartment.
• In The Tenth Predator, Thornhenge saved Stuart and himself from a high fall.
• In Hold On Tight, Thornhenge tried to escape the Cyrodext before battling him briefly.
• In Rise of the Sentiknight, Thornhenge helped Stuart battle The Darhkness 3 before switching to Grapplight.
• In Number 11, Thornhenge failed to defeat The Great Devourer.
• In Omni-Switched, Thornhenge's DNA was accidentally switched with Transmelt's due to a glitch in the Omnitrix. His DNA returned to normal at the end of the episode when the Omnitrix was fixed.
• In Omniorigins, Thornhenge battled the bounty hunters.

Trivia

• Thornhenge is the first alien Ben ever transformed into.

• Thornhenge has had many different references in his design and powers.
  • His overall design and detection abilities are similar to Wildmutt, whom Thornhenge acts as Ben's substitute for.
  • The execution of his powers is based of Diamondhead.
  • His elasticity, plant-like traits, and thorn generation are similar to Wildvine and Thornblade, while his name is also similar to the latter.
  • His spike generation is similar to Pierce Wheels and the Dirt/Dark Urchins from Slugterra.
  • His ability to turn into a rolling spiked ball is similar to Ultimate Cannonbolt, Omni-Enhanced Cannonbolt, Wreckingbolt, and the kaiju Anguirus.
  • When he creates his bone spikes from his knuckles or nails, it is a parody of Wolverine's bone claws from X-Men.
  • Overall, his design and powers resemble the kaiju Krystalak the most.
• Ben doesn't like to use Thornhenge's regeneration abilities that much, as he states that the process is uncomfortable and he feels like he is breaking his own bones.
• If Ben was able to replace his aliens, he would often switch out Thornhenge, though he ironically still feels the pain of losing this transformation.
• He was nearly named "Spiketopus" by Ben.
