“ Have the Fulmini caught you yet? ”

– Vilgax taunting Ben prior to the Fulmini invasion.[1]

Fulmini[2][3][CN 1] are an energy-based[4][5] species from the destroyed planet Fulmas.[6]

Appearance

Fulmini are made entirely of Omni-Enhanced energy, although what that energy actually is has yet to be explained. Their blue energy bodies are reinforced with gray rock armor that covers their head, chest, shoulders, some of their forearms, and everything from the thighs down. This rock has a green moss-like pattern on its surface nearest the top of the body.

Fulmini can vary greatly in height, from around twice a young Ben's height to nearly four times his height. Some are even as big as a To'kustar.

Under the influence or revitalization of High Override, Fulmini's energy turn purple, and their eyes turn red. Their bodies can also be enhanced by the High Override. The most notable example of this is Shock Rock.

History

The Fulmini fought amongst themselves over the energy that Fulmas held, until the planet began to fall apart. United, the Fulmini began to wage war against the rest of the universe, using wormholes to travel to nearby planets in order to plunder their energy and use it to restore Fulmas to its former strength.

Vilgax described them as being incredibly destructive and a danger to the Earth itself.[7] However, Ben later determined that this was a lie in order to stop him from using the Omnitrix.[8] Vilgax eventually clarified on the subject once the Fulmini invasion was underway.[5]

The Fulmini went to Petropia to harvest the resources to restore Fulmas, but Petropia's inhabitants forced them to retreat.

With Fulmas destroyed, the Fulmini went to Khoros using their mothership to invade the planet. They left Khoros once they found out it was populated with Tetramand's predators.

Behavior

They are a war-bound, conquering race. They aggressively conquer other planets and expand their empire.

Powers and Abilities

Fulmini have the ability to release strong, blue electrical charges from any part of their body, which they can use to construct various weapons and tools through imagination,[Playmates 1] such as a boomerang,[7] energy boxes,[3] force fields,[9][10][11] and a shield.[12] Fulminis can power up and enhance machines with the use of his electricity.[13] Fulminis can also use his electricity to increase the size of a wormhole, by expanding its particles,[14] and to telekinetically move objects.[15]

Fulmini can change their body however they wants,[CN 2] being able to make things like stretch their arms,[16] raise their hands,[17] or manifest weapons.[3]

Fulmini are able to absorb external sources of energy, such as a Chimera Sui Generis' optical lasers.[8] It can even redirect lightning from storms.[DR 1] Fulmini are also invulnerable to external electricity. Moreover, if they are exposed to external electricity, their electrokinetic powers will be amplified, as seen with Shock Rock when the size of his electric ball got increased and became big enough to blast both Weatherheads and Vilgax back.[8]

Fulmini has indestructible stone armor and possesses enhanced strength, being able to drill through solid stone.[Playmates 1]

Fulmini can theoretically change the weather and cause storms.[DR 2]

Higher member Fulminis like the High Override can control those of the lesser Fulmini. They also can revive and augment the Fulminis with purple energy[18] to the point where they could destroy Earth.[DR 3]

Weaknesses

Fulmini can inadvertently give their enemies an energy boost if the machine they are charging up is a trap for their power to siphon through.[13]

Fulmini soldiers are vulnerable to being controlled by a superior member of their species, such as the High Override.[18]

Fulmini are vulnerable to having their energy absorbed.[1]

A Fulmini's constructs can unintentionally shock humans who come in contact with them.[19][20]

A Fulmini's electric attacks are useless against rubber materials.[21][22]

Because their power is derived from his army, if a higher member is separated from them, they will be significantly weakened.[DR 4]

Fulmini with a strong will can break out of higher member's control.

Technology

The Fulmini possess ground vehicles and flying machines that appear to be made of the same rock as Fulmas and the Fulmini themselves.

The Fulmini also possess technology with the capability of generating wormholes, which they use to raid nearby star systems.

Etymology

Fulmini is derived from Fulmine, the Italian word for "lightning". It may also be derived from the word 'Fulminate' which, in a literary sense, means to explode violently or flash like lightning.

Fulmini may also be a portmanteau of Fulmine and mini, effectively calling them little balls of lightning.
