- "We are the DNAliens! And we will destroy you all!"
- ― DNAliens to Swampfire.[1]
DNAliens are hybrid entities created by the Highbreed using Xenocites. As they are hybrids (of sentient species with a non-sentient species), they are not a species.[ES 1]
History[]
DNAliens are created when a Xenocite bonds with a host and is forcibly turned into a DNAlien, as explained by one in which the DNAlien half of the parasite controls the host half because the host half is "repulsive" to them. These parasites were going to be shipped off in large trucks, but were destroyed thanks to the efforts of Jetray, Gwen, Kevin, and Ken.
One example of these parasites is when Ken was forcefully turned into an almost-complete DNAlien and when Ben tried to remove it, he somehow entered the Omnitrix, which asked Ben for the option to remove the "severe genetic damage" caused by the Xenocite and it is completely removed by the Omnitrix.
In Inside Man, Tyler is transformed into a DNAlien but somehow resisted the "DNAlien programming". Through he was physically a DNAlien, he retained his own mind and free will (even though he was confused in the beginning). Ben, Gwen and Kevin rescued Tyler from the DNAliens who wanted to reprogram him and cured him.
Ben and his team turned the DNAliens back into humans using the Omnitrix and a special weapon that has the same effect created by Cooper.

The DNAliens are shown to be rather cowardly throughout the series, meaning they can be scared into submission and easily interrogated.
