Rath (a play on "wrath") is an Appoplexian (a play on apoplexy, a part of the brain that deals with anger) from the planet Appoplexia. Resembling large, muscle-bound, humanoid tailless tiger-like aliens, Appoplexians suffer from aggressive temperament and decreased intelligence, having a need to fight anything that breathes regardless if they fight their own friends. Their mannerisms and speech are reminiscent of a professional wrestler speaking in third person, saying Lemme tell ya somethin'! then followed by the full name of whoever they are talking to. In addition, each Appoplexian has two retractable claws on the wrists that can generate shockwaves when driven into objects and are durable to the point of surviving in space for short periods and take a powerful laser cannon blast at point blank range without even flinching. But one downside to Appoplexians, other than their tempers, is acute aquaphobia.
Ben first becomes Rath in "The Con of Rath" when the crown prince Tiffin sets off the Omnitrix's circuit, and caused it to keep Ben in that state for the whole episode until Tiffin leaves, and when Ben found out that Kevin knew about it all the time, he turned back into him to beat Kevin up. Though being Rath alters his mind, Ben uses him as one of his more powerful alien forms due to being gifted with enough physical agility and strength to easily lift objects far larger than him and pummeling most enemies with ease.
In Omniverse Rath's appearance is basically unchanged except he has different shaped eye brows. He reappears in "It Was Them" for fight the giant ants.
