Magister Pyke is a Piscciss Volann Plumber and the Magister of Piscciss.

Appearance

Pyke looks exactly like Ripjaws except having shorter whiskers, pink eyes and Plumber Suit.

Personality

Like Prior Gilhil, Pyke is a veteran Plumber, and has little time for younger Plumbers that receive special preferential treatment, or as he calls them, "tadpoles" (in reference to Ben and the others).

Pyke is a highly skilled combatant underwater, demonstrating zero-gravity martial artistry using his claws and tail on a level that left even Ben in awe, despite the level of skill he had shown as Ripjaws.

History

Background

Not much is known about Pyke's background, but he met Patelliday at least once while the latter was a deputy back on Piscciss.^{[DJW 1]}

Ultimate Alien

Pyke debuted in Deep, where he somewhat reluctantly aided Ben's team in the investigation of frequent tremors as well as Ultimate Aggregor's appearance on Piscciss.

Powers and Abilities

Pyke possesses extraordinary skills in martial artistry and agile swimming, along with his natural underwater breathing abilities, enhanced strength, sharp claws and teeth, and legs that can shift to make a single fish tail and back.

Weaknesses

Same as any Piscciss Volann, he can not breath oxygen air for extended periods without any water.

Appearances

Ultimate Alien

Season 2

• Deep (first appearance)

Etymology

Pyke is named after a pike, which is a type of predatory fish.

Trivia

• After his helmet was broken, Pyke was suffocating without water. But when Ben turned into Goop to save Piscciss with his Anti-Gravity Projector, Pyke stood up and was breathing somewhat normally. This is because he can breathe in air for a while, but it takes some time for him to get used to it.
• Pyke does not like kids or non-professionals.^{[DM 1]}
• Pyke was designed by Glenn Wong.^{[TJ 1]}
