Ben 10 | Arctiguana's Homeworld (And Beyond) 

🟢Check out the expanded And Beyond lore with our other series, 5 Years Later: tinyurl.com/5YLseries

I love "how my language filters are broke" implies that Horas naturally is incredibly vulger and the plumbers implemented a system to stop him from swearing up a storm

1:35 "No limbs at all!" O.R.Ash: Write that down, write that down!

I nearly cried at the “my language filter is dam- dam- dam- TOTALLY F***ED!” bit. 😂 I was NOT expecting that!

Did not expect the Mire Manzardill thirst trap

Totally worth the wait! cant imagine how much planning and effort must have went into this masterpiece! loved every second 👌

This is going to be huge, I can't wait to see the Manzardril subspecies, especially the lava ones, this will lead to more aliens to be added to 5YL, like Volcaniguana.

Was _not_ expecting to see the sunburnt ice cream tourist from Lilo and Stitch reprise his running gag in this! Loved all the alien cameos to play up the vacation spot idea. Never thought I'd see a Celestialsapien chilling on the beach, but I guess they can do whatever their personalities come to agree upon. 4ORAS seems to have gained full sapience? A possible hero of this story? We'll have to wait and see. He may need a hand though, considering he only has one left. *"Applause"* ha ha ha ha ha!

Is great that how at the beginning we see everything that broke in 4oras, then for it to comeback at the end, like how they got an existential crisis since their inhibitor compromised, and the portal that appeared thanks to unknown particles left in them from Legerdomain, just great foreshadowing, also 4oras going "totally FUCKED" has to be in a shirt

"Ah, what a beautifully bio-diverse and highly cultured planet. Just the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation..." *Adwaita shows up* "...Dammit."

Kuro nicknames 3:10 Ice Lizard 4:53 Rock Campers 6:05 Hot Single Reptiles in your area 7:19 Silmly tongues 9:05 Chill Sharks 10:48 Rock Fish 11:43 Glowy bois 13:00 Toad dealers 14:20 Sand Shakers 15:41 Bubble Throat

1:53: ‘Remember, do not party with lizards unless you’re ready to get slithered’ is hilarious, I’m totally going to try and use that line in really life.

The idea of an alien species creating art with a fungus-derived hallucinogenic that makes the art come to life for the viewer is actually so brilliant. I imagine they would use different compounds in different combinations to make guided hallucinations that tell simple stories with each work of art

Articguana is such an underrated alien in Ben 10.

Man imagine if this was one of the planets Ben and his friends visit during their universal road trip after Omniverse. It would be an amazing and chill start to the next series.

Usually I don’t like when B10 aliens are too much like Earth animals, but I actually love how much influence you guys used for all the types of subspecies here. Plus it really makes Artiguana feel special, like his species has something distinct about them.

That celestialsapien in 8:40 can not decide what sand castle they want to build. They're gonna be in there for a while...

Glad they’re moving onto some of the non-Alien Force aliens again. Nothing against them, of course, just a nice change of pace. Can’t wait to see it tomorrow! EDIT: Finished watching it. On one note . . . holy, shit, we in for something big. On another note, Encephalonus IV is next, babeee!

Love how diverse this species is and how there’s an actual story plot behind the documentary series and I’m very curious to which planet 4ORAS have jumped too At first I thought it could be Prypatos but it looks too organic Really looking forward to the next and beyond wherever in the universe that takes us

“ I don’t wanna be destroyed” I don’t want the And beyond series to end so colour, informative and entertaining

This has got to be my favorite episode based on the backgrounds alone. I love how many diverse alien species there are, it really makes the planet feel like a tourist trap. Plus I love how each of the Manzerdill species look similar but are different enough for their ecological niches. Can’t wait for season 2!

My favorite episode from season 1 gotta be the Legerdomain one. I'm Impressed by how far these guys have come. I still remember when the first episode came out and I was always amazed that every time these guys impressed me with every tiny detail they added in this work. Glad to have u guys in the Ben 10 community! ( And I use the term loosely...)

As one of the fandom's only Articguanas fans, this is greatly appreciated

18:01-wow that’s new for him, somebody help this poor unfortunate soul! 😅😰

The planet Horace ended up on was giving me legit HighBreed vibes. But “and I use the term loosely” makes me think we’ve ended up on the planet of the Cerebralcrustaceans. Brainstorm for the win!

19:42 The dark skies, the thunder and lightning and the steel architecture somewhat resembling the shape of their heads, this almost looks like Encephalonus IV (Brainstorm’s home planet) from Vilgax Attacks even though Omniverse retconned it to be otherwise.

Really think we need one of these for the Chronosapians. I want to understand how a planet full of inorganic time travelers even works. That is to say, if it works and isn't just a waste land or frozen in time forever.

I can see which elements each species represents. Polar: ice, Talus: earth, Mire: mud, Tropic: plant (their slime is of plant-origin), Costal: water, Submar: heat, Subter: light, Fung: poison, Torrid: fire. Slag: lava. And I like how they tried to make it different for each species and not just giving them all elemental breaths.

The fung mazidrilla are such a unique alien idea. They repurpose their food for a great defence, a predator coming to close could be scared off or disorientated and the art thing is amazing.

Interesting to see new subspecies of polar mandrazill (arctiguana’s species) Arctiguana is a really underrated and under appreciated alien, I love and beyond so much, I love seeing all of these alien worlds and species from across the entire universe and their powers and cultures, especially when Ben transforms into them from other universes, everyone at the ink tank is awesome for making these videos possible, we all really appreciate all you guys 👽👾🛸

I would love to see more episodes on more the aliens, like Feedback, Buzzshock, Diamondhead, Chromastone, Wildmutt, Wildvine, Stinkfly, and many others.

2:55 Ice 4:40 Echo location 5:52 Mud 7:08 Tropical Jelly 8:48 Water Boys 10:27 Melty rock deepsea boys 10:36 Glowy eye boys 12:45 Mushroom lads Oilly psychadelic 14:09 Fire Boys 15:22 Magma bubble boys

Without a doubt, my new favorite "And Beyond" episode! Always loved Arctiguana, and now I have 9 more versions of him, 4 of whom have fire/heat abilities, which I love!

The reason why Arctiguana is my favorite transformation is because of the unique design and, at the time, unique power of ice. But when I heard that they were doing his home world of X’Nelli, a planet that has multiple biomes, it caught my attention. And now that I see it, I can declare that X’Nelli and all 10 Manzardill species are now my all time favorite. Thank you Ink Tank.

*Now I just imagine a full omnitrix playlist only consisting of all of the manzardil subspecies*

Honestly, this is one of the few And Beyond worlds I wouldn’t mind living in Absolutely loved all the details and cameos this episode too

This might be one of your best episodes. So much packed into just 20 minutes!

6:46 You know what you did drawing the female Mud Manzardil looking in the camera like that ben 10 has already given me an attraction for the alien female form. I don't need you to do it too.😅what have we done

what a beautifully vibrant world you've constructed for artiguana! Each subspecies had such an interesting appeal to them and to see the ecology form as incredible! So far I feel very partial to the Torrid and Tropical manzardil, yet their all amazing really! All the tourist alien cameos were excellent as well and the adwaita returning design is terrifying!! I hope the planet isn't doomed..

One thing I like I’m not seeing a lot of people talk about is Horas little breakdown at the end. It may be short, but it was interesting to see him freak out at the possibility of death and realize his existence doesn’t really matter if he can just be replaced.

This entire lore video is everything I love about sci-fi; demonstrating so many varied cultures and I love seeing the various other species just hanging out on the planet because the different biomes can so easily cater to more or less everyone. So many cool call-backs as well, seeing Attea and Looma hanging out together is really cute (referencing the "Ben's girlfriends as adults" -video). You guys are immensely creative and I can't wait to see more with each video.

I like how the planet is almost made to be a tories actuation and each 10 species is made perfectly into them. Also without the quote at the end, I guested is was Brainstorm's home by how the buildings looked.

I always love whenever you do all these members of different alien species. This episode was full of them. Must have taken effort, but it paid off immensly. You definitely had me at "and I use the term loosely". I was wondering the same thing as 4ORAS, then bam. Then I went back to check if it's Cerebrocrustacians in those crafts, and they were. The attention to detail. So good.

I'm still stunned by how creative this series is. Every single species gets a completely fleshed out planet, ecosystem, and culture (multiple, even!), based off details as incidental as part of the species name, or the shape of a scale. Absolutely adore the creative skill and passion that goes into everything The Ink Tank touches

Can't believe you're already 10 episodes in. This was incredible. You've also gotten really good at integrating a narrative while still keeping the educational documentary style. Keep it up, guys

As a big Arctiguana fan, I love how beautiful his planet is in this.

6:45 Kudos to the ink tanks providing us with these illustrations, knowing full well the consequences.

Wow, Horus finally swears. What a day!

Wow, I expected a standard ice planet, but this was actually much more diverse and interesting. Loved it! Great idea to make each Manzardill subspecies that drastically different. And YAY, BRAINSTORM'S HOMEWORLD IS NEXT! Can't wait to see that one!

The video isn't out yet but I'm already so pumped. Artiguana species, Polar Manzardill, was always interesting since its been stated that there are other Manzardill sub-species which never got revealed. Curious to see what other biomes are in this planet. And also, what kind of predators if any would be located in each biome

I love this episode, so ambitious and very well put together, not to mention 4oras from ledger domain being somewhat of a main character horas, this really is a pretty good episode of and beyond.

There is definitely a Ben in a universe whose original playlist solely consisted of the ten subspecies of Manzardril

my fav episode so far,absolutly love the creativity and how diferent areas consist of different aliens that have adapted to said environments, just love it

I love this episode! Covering ten different species all from one planet, each with their own unique quirks and limits. And I absolutely love that they have their own religion. Your best And Beyond episode yet! Can't wait for the next one.

Oh I cannot wait to see this, Arcticguana has rarely been seen in the show he deserves this

I am loving Horus' character arc. He's been through the wringer and it's nice to see him grow from it.

5:12 Even in a fan-made verse, Vulkanus always ends with the short end of the stick. (Is that his granny on his back?). 8:41 Seems like even Celestialsapiens enjoy a day of vacation on this world. Must be truly an experience! Also, this world reminds me of BIONICLE for some reason!

Its fun learning about the planet and their inhabitants. But its also fun to see the creative ways Horas bites the dust.

FINALLY another and beyond, damn it feels like I've been waiting for years. AND ITS ARCTIGUANA'S HOME WORLD TOO

This is unironically some of my favorite content on RU-vid the love and care that goes into all of these is so apparent and amazing to see

8:42 love that Celestialsapien just stuck in the ground there.... and the things next to it are so ok with a Space god just being next to them stuck in the sand

Just as always the ink tank team breath so much life into each of the worlds in this videos with how you could basically tell a whole lengthy story just around each planet alone, I particularly adore how much diversity you bring into the civilians in each given moment, they're all so great. And man, that is a hype ending.

They perfectly captured the tropical paradise vibe, now I really want to go to this planet while it's still Summer. Also, I love the references all throughout the video.

Where do I even begin! This episode was such a wild ride, I have so much to say! I really liked the flow of this episode. Each species' segment transitioned into the other's nicely in a very natural progression. It looks to me that Rob had contributed a lot more art for this episode compared to previous ones and it seems that Ryan had slightly altered his artstyle to match that too. The visual style feels very cohesive, despite the fact that the two artists working on them have pretty different artstyles. I fully expected that there would be about 5-6 mazardill subspecies, but 10! That's so many! I wonder which 2 of the new 9 would make it to Ben's arsenal of aliens, or maybe all of them make it in as a case similar to Upchuck's. Nothing would have prepared me for the sheer amount of alien species that cameoed in this episode, and so many of them are fan-made commission aliens! This inclusion feels to me like an ultimate love letter to the community and it was so exciting to experience! The new kaiju form for Addwaitya is so cool looking! I wonder what happened between the Ledgerdomain And Beyond and this one for him to change like that. I am also surprised that his arc wasn't concluded in this season finale, but I guess the Tank has bigger plans for him than I anticipated. I really like that one of the guardians of Ledgerdomain turned to be a real god that the manzardill worship. They actually alllowed Horas to say fuck, I am so happy for that! I guees, I shouldn't be too surprised that they're turnig a Horas into an actual distinct character from all the other drones. He is, after all, probably The Ink Tank's favourite creation.

Been watching the Worldbuilding Corner series all week, which included talk of biomes on Earth-like planets, and I watch videos from Artifexian and Biblaridon for world building planets. This was amazing work on how it's got many biomes and no seasons from no axial tilt! I really love the many Manzardill subspecies!

I'm so glad Antigua's homeplanet is explored in this because he's so underrated and not used so often

I just love how creative you guys are with what was given and what y'all made for the Ben 10 franchise, even if these are all just fan projects, the stuff you guys make are still so cool

the home world teased at the end is almost certainly brainstorms world, Encephalonus IV. it has the two moons and the building style fits with what we see in vilgax attacks.

Nice seeing some commissioned aliens get cameos, also I can tell Kuro is gonna have a fun time drawing all the Manzardills transformations for Ben.

Okay it's official, this is my favorite And Beyond, learning Arctiguana's world, and his unique and interesting subspecies was so fun, I'm surprised Ben doesn't have a playlist of just these guys XD

6:48 “I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me..” Why would you do this, Ink Tank

"Existential Inhibitor Compromised". That explains why Horus is suddenly eager to preserve himself.

I like that we see a lot of visitors on vacation and not just cannon ones, but 5yl ones. super cool

its so interesting that Acritguana's species has different versions, I like the polar manzardills, the costal manzardills, the fungus mandrill, and the torrid mazardill

This is an awesome series, but what I've been expecting from this, is going through the evolution of all the aliens, like how did the Slimebiotes create them, what did they evolve from, and where did they come from.

This was a very cool episode (no pun intended I swear), for a long time I’ve seen people create their own versions of these subspecies, and I certainly think these are the most unique ones, they aren’t just “Articguana but he spits fire interest of ice” also I like how many other aliens we see in the background.

14:55 The little shocksquatch is wearing a backpack

Man, I feel a little bad for Horus.... and glad he's currently still safe and sound. Hopefully he can document the planet he landed on and get help from the local nonillion IQ citizens to get repairs, contact Plumber Base, and inform them of Aidwatia's attack.

Can I just say that I absolutely adore the cute little scene at 16:06 of Luma and Attea on a pottery retreat date.

That All-Fit Outfit advertisement is really good. Well done on advertising the alien clothing. One of the few ads that I would not skip.

Oh, this one was PEAK! Loved just pausing the video the whole time to spot all the alien species running around in this tourist-y planet, as well as all the Pokémon references I could recognize. (Also the Lilo & Stitch guy was probably the best cameo) I love that Arctiguanna and his sub-species were just 1/10th of this planet's notable inhabitants and everything else was the other sub-species related to them. It's really interesting seeing a scenario where evolving intelligence, sapience and becoming the dominant inhabitants on the planet all happened so long ago that those same aliens have had the time to evolve further and differentiate themselves from one another. Coastal Mandarzill gotta be my favorites, cuz I relate so hard. Also, the end was so cool and I can't wait to see what happens next!

17:10 "I've Finally found it! NOW WHO'S GONNA STOP MEEEEE!!!"

Holy shit, nice work guys!!! The animation near the end must've taken FOREVER to complete! Y'all should be proud!

16:10 The little ampfibian is cute

You guys really have managed to make every one of these more endearing and lore-desnse than the last. This was masterful. I love 4oras not wanting to die at the end, he's always so fun, and this really made me feel for him as an individual unit.

Such a wonderful episode, the ammount of work is insane, but more than that, is the passion what makes this channel truly a remarkable one!

And that's super awesome! All of the And beyond episode's are all pretty awesome, and I love them all!

This was such a fun video! The backgrounds were fun to dissect to see all the tourists like the Sayain and Celestialsapien buried in the sand!

Ink Tank, my guys, WOW. You've truly outdone yourselves. Such a fantastic video. It would be hard to top the last episode, but this was above and beyond evey expectation! Great great job! Love it!

So hyped! Ive always wondered how they figured out their homeworld and how they work..

Man, you guys went f$&@ing HARD on this episode, this was amazing

DANG YA'LL WENT HARD FOR THIS ONE RIGHT OFF THE BAT LESGOOOOO

I was geeking over the Lilo and Stitch tourist losing his ice cream and at the end ARMAGEDDON! Wow, this has really stepped up the Beyond series.

I've watched the entire video, and I must say, it's pretty insightful and life changing

Arctiguna was always one of those aliens, to me ,kinda sidelined in favor for other aliens like Alien X , so I'm glad to see Arctiguna getting some attention (:

This was the best and most diverse And Beyond I think I’ve watched. The ending was quite the cliffhanger too, Dr.Psychobos is a welcome return!!!

All background species/cameos I could recognize: 5:13 volcanus (or at least his species), crystalsapien, and alien the same species as the plumber from the beginning of the big chill episode 5:58 Piscciss Volann, haphazard aka Tychelicerate, tailporter aka Tachyvulimpus, mixmaster aka Cedoian, slow poke aka Limaculuck, xenomorphs?, and….KERMIT?!

TF are you doing here?!

Man, what can I say to praise this video other than say every part of it was… Incredible! Seriously everything from the animations, the background designs, the voice acting, and all of the LORE!! To think that all of this grew out of one species of alien that was barely touched on in the Ben 10 franchise. 😂 O.R.Ash you are a genius, and I am so hyped to see the next season of AB! I loved the little post-credit teaser, I could tell we are going to visit some brain-blasting crustaceans just based on the weather and building designs!

YES where exploring one of Ben’s most underrated aliens home planet❄️🦎🪐🤩

6:04 - They remind me of Clodsire
