Ben as Ripjaws
Ripjaws shares a number of traits with Earth's aquatic life, such as alligators, eels, anglerfish, and sharks. He can change between a fish tail or legs at will, and has a phosphorescent light on his head.

He is able to breathe underwater, as well as swim at high speeds with amazing agility and can also withstand very strong water pressure. His angler light allows him to see in dark areas.

His body was mostly grey. He wore the Omnitrix symbol on his left torso, and spoke with a deep, gasping voice.

Weapons and Abilities
Ripjaws is strong and is able to lift more than his own weight. He can also easily punch a hole in a dock.

Ripjaws' large jaws and sharp teeth have proven to be his most deadly weapon, being able to shred even metal from submarines. He also possesses sharp claws.

Ripjaws has great endurance and can withstand strong water pressure, meaning he possesses the nature of abyssal aquatic life, hence his blank eyes and the anglerfish light in his forehead, which can serve as a light in dark areas.

Ripjaws displays the distinctive feature of turning his legs into a fish's tail and vice-versa, giving him a merman-like appearance, while outside the water environment, he displays a loincloth with a similar pattern to his tail (implying the loincloth wraps around his legs, fusing with it and becoming the tail). While his legs are form into a tail, Ripjaws can swim very well at great speeds.

Ripjaws is able to fit a mass supply of objects in his mouth, as shown in Gone Fishin'.
