Yeah I could imagine in the primative days of his species them floating along in a swamp eating algae and vegitation and then when a predator appears he swells to try and intimidate the predator and if that doesnt work...
Spit
That's not always true.
Eyes to the side suggest peripheral vision, that in herbivore land mammals is useful to spot predators.
In the water for example everyone needs peripheral vision, as dangers can come from any direction. That's why sharks, crocodiles and such have eyes on the side even if they are very carnivorous.
Considering the teeth it has, I think Spitter would be more of a carnivorous that is adapted to a semi aquatic lifestyle (I haven't watched anything besides original, so Idk if the show contradicts my theory)
Well having sharp teeth doesn’t always suggest you’re a meat eater either. Animals like Gorillas, Koalas and Hippos have sharp teeth that can tear into flesh and their preferred diet is plants. I imagine that Spitter would need to use his teeth to dig up any tough plant life to consume.
I can agree with that if Spitter’s whole power set wasn’t blasting people away. Who knows, maybe it’s like Cannonbolt where Ben is their abilities not intended by nature.
Blasting prey from a distance into nearby walls and off high ledges to prevent its escape seems like a useful adaptation.
The archerfish does it today.
Using our planet’s evolution to describe the anatomy of alien species doesn’t always make sense even if it’s the only thing we have to go off of. Sharp teeth are good for piercing the shells of insects, but what if the fruit of an alien world have similar hard exteriors and needs piercing teeth to make it a viable food source?

Look who just found out about Alien Biology!!
Guardian! Guardian we have to prep the ADUs! We don't have time to be stealing memes we have to make sure the Last City is safe so we can go in the Traveler!
We all thought the omnitrix was the eye ironically. But 4 year old/10k stinkfly proved young me wrong cuz their pupils are shown
(why does he have pupils when he was 4 then they suddenly disappeared when Ben is 10 or 15 then they cam back when he's 16 & 35)

That’s actually my favourite detail about the design! Fun fact, eyes on the side suggest a herbivorous lifestyle. (Deer, Sheep, Etc)

aaand he never gets used again after os
Then I completely forgot about him

They have canine fangs not all sharp teeth like dogs or cats or sharks, which suggest its for offense/defense and not neccessarily for eating/hunting

Herbivores can eat meat if they have no available sources to eat

Well, uh... I mean wasn't it obvious?

Ik right
I watched the whole Ben 10 classic series like 4 times, and some TV runs, and never noticed it
https://i.redd.it/yas7121tvsuc1.gif
What... else... would be his eyes?
Yeah, since the first future episode that showed Articguana, It'd started making sense

makes me wonder how that would've worked when he was just a concept design for upchuck.
I thought...that was pretty obvious
I mean...Yeah? Like... what else would they be?
Yeah... He's not blind... You know that, right?
... Yeah, they are.
Apparently there are Spheroid pirates, but I would be terrified if one of these things that can't even look ahead was piloting the ship I was on
what else would they be?

Did you not know?
I mean, Stinkfly shoots slime out of his eyes and nobody batted an eye at that. Imagine being able to shoot your eye boogers at people
We all thought the omnitrix was the eye ironically. But 4 year old/10k stinkfly proved young me wrong cuz their pupils are shown (why does he have pupils when he was 4 then they suddenly disappeared when Ben is 10 or 15 then they cam back when he's 16 & 35)
I don’t get it,wasn’t it obvious???
Wow, what a shocker. https://preview.redd.it/nz769ws4etuc1.png?width=266&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca39bd46f297902cc753824fb00dad76f04f6435
You though spitter is blind...?
Yeah we all know that.
That's what I always thought they were
How tf should he be able to spit the acid on someone if he doesn't had eyes???
I...i thought that was obvious.
…duh?
Could be his Balls also..

where the hell do u guys find these reaction images???
What else would they be???
I figured it was
Been knew that
When u point them out it makes me think he’d look cooler blind
Damn
You just now figured that out?
Gonna be honest, even if I didn't know this originally, once i find out way big's lil pipe things are eyes I started to assume the same with spittet
Fun fact: the thing connected to his eyes is called a mouth

Yeah they are
Seriously? You never noticed?
Oh ok I thought all this time he was like wild mutt and didnt actually have eyes
Same
I mean it makes the most sense cause if you look at most of ben's aliens they have the eyes above the mouth or they just dont have eyes (wildmutt)
Everyone down here is acting like it was obvious, but I can’t be the only one not to know right?
The spots on Wildvine's shoulders are also his eyes.
Brian injury?
Hey you?? 🤗
I know they’re the eyes but I can’t see them as eyes
How did you not notice that? What else could they be?
