Upchuck is a Gourmand (from gourmand) from the planet Peptos XI (based on Peptos, the Greek word for digested.). Divided into the dark-green-colored Merks and the light-green-colored Perks, Gourmands are small frog-like aliens with a very large appetite, their strong and adhesive tongues stretching out to latch onto large objects and swallow whole. As Gourmand's mouths and various acid-filled stomachs stretch to facilitate the digestion, the latter converting the ingested matter into explosive balls of liquids that can be expelled at will with great accuracy. As a defense, having done so with their ten previous home worlds, Gourmands can devour their planet as a last resort when invaded and depart for a new planet to call home.
Upchuck was unlocked for Ben's use by Xylene, to destroy Vilgax's drone in "The Visitor". As Upchuck, it seems that Ben cannot easily digest human food due to their acids being unstable for a Gourmand to digest. In Ben 10: Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Ben regained the form in the events of "War of the Worlds", Upchuck's appearance changed into a Merk-type Gourmand with the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol moved to his chest from his left hand, his eyes were changed from white to green, and he now possesses a tail. In Omniverse, Upchuck's 11 year old appearance remains the same but his eyes and symbol have changed from white to green. His 16 year old appearance remains the same as his Alien Force and Ultimate Alien appearance as well yet can assume a Perk-type form.
