It’s hero time!
- Ben Tennyson.

This article contains information regarding the monsters featured as part of Monster Wiki's Ben 10 project.

Maurice Bugg is a character who appears in the Cartoon Network animated series Ben 10. Maurice and his sibling Sydney comprise the Bugg Brothers, recurrent enemies of Ben Tennyson.

Description[]

A small creature no more than a few inches tall, Maurice has the body of an insect, complete with six spiny limbs, and an oversized human head with large yellow eyes. He is gifted with a genius-level intellect and the ability to fly via a tiny set of insectile wings.

Maurice seems to be bent on the acquisition of money, although at times his schemes appear somewhat scatterbrained; for example, where in one episode he created a monster which would allow him to steal large amounts of cash, in another he wished only to obtain an unlimited supply of pancakes.

Where Maurice's origins lie is never explained, although as he was first encountered in an area contaminated by nuclear waste, it can be assumed that he was mutated by the radioactivity.

Trivia[]

  • The Bugg Brothers are a clear nod to the 1958 horror movie The Fly, in which an experimental scientist inadvertently merges himself with a common housefly, creating two creatures, one with the head of a fly and a human body, the other with a human head on the body of a fly.
