We had a beautiful Anomorphs thread the other week, and I have started re-reading the series as a result, but I want to know if anyone has managed to work out a way to incorporate changeling abilities on par with the lore?

All I can think of is giving stats to just about every species encountered

that being said, Tobias (the hawk) is the son of an Andalite who was in human morph and a human mother

All I can remember is some book where they fought nanoaliens on the behest of the broccoli people after getting thrown through time by a nuclear explosion and there was a flying whale in it somewhere. Then they returned to their own time by stealing the explosives that were to be used to stop the dinosaur killing asteroid or something.

Basically, the cube only works twice. Tobias DID touch the cube again after getting stuck, but if he had allowed himself to then get stuck in human form again he would have lost his powers. So he decided to keep the base form of a bird so he could keep helping his friends.

You can tell in the first few books that it's a generic sci-fi that verges on pulp, but it seems to get footing around 14ish/Andalite Chronicles and then jumps off the grim cliff at the David trilogy. Then, it descends quickly into hell.

Rewriting the Animorphs series so that it isn't shit would be pretty fun.

Here's my first change: Shifting from one animal to another is incredibly taxing and takes most of the day, rather than the 5 minutes or so it took in the books.
>>
Mulling over potential crunch for a game
Morphs are composed of a few attributes and several aspects
Attributes:
Size
Speed
Strength
Familiarity
Aspects:
Has gills
Large lungs
Can fly
Tail blade
Parasitic ear slug
etc.

Simple enough you could stat a new morph in a few minutes.
>>
>>22108006
By not shit do you mean vaguely scientifically reasonable? You're kind of missing the point aren't you?
>>
>>22108006
the point of morphing being so quick and easy is that it let 6 kids fight off an invading alien empire.
while your way might be cool, it would require changing the basic premise of the stories.
>>
>>22105838
That's wrong. Tobias touched the Cube once, got the power, and then wound up trapped in hawk morph. The Ellimist gave him back the morphing power, making his hawk form his base form and sending him back in time so he could acquire his human self as a morph. Which left Tobias with a choice. Morph to human and become trapped again, out of the fight, or stay a hawk and continue the fight. As much as Rachel bitched, the latter was what Tobias actually wanted.

Eederanell usually woke up operating under the delusion that she was stillon her homeworld, in the house she'd inherited from her Elders. She'd think to herself that she'd finally speak to that cute male down the way and that she'd finally get started on those children her mother so desperately wanted to get to know.

She'd plan out her day, think of visiting the meadows, speaking with her childhood friends and gossiping about her ex's, and then the crushing realization that she hadn't seem her homeworld for for years would hit her.

Today she didn't experience any of that, Andalites have a very impressive sense of smell, humans have a very distinctive scent. She opened her eyes and took stock of the situation. They were in the rec-room anon had laid out some bed rolls and had curled up with her on them. She reached down and began toying with his hair as her mind wandered. She could morph, so could Anon...that led to certain possibilities.

It took her some effort to move without waking anon up but Ederanell managed to extricate herself from the makeshift bedding. Their work wasn't very glorius but it did at least allow them a great deal of leisure time, Eederanell crossed from the rec room into the corridors and moved into the small kitchen at a brief trot. Once there she keyed in a request for bacon, eggs, and some coffee. She recieved a tray with two packages of synthezied pork and eggs wrapped in a flaky crust along with two squeeze bulbs of black, hot coffee. With these in hand she returned to the recration room and set the tray down on the bedding.

Then she triggered her morph, she felt herself begin to shrink, her legs and arms sucking into her body, her eyestalks and ears doing much the same. For a brief moment she appeared to be a giant hunk of teal flesh and then she began to assume her human form.
>>
>>22110617
The way I'd run an animorphs RPG is to set out a list of base forms (Heavy Land Predator, Water Bird, Bug, Fish, etc.) and then give them each animal a few unique abilities and flaws

Examples:
>Shark: Predator Fish with the Large, Fangs and Relentless traits, and the Bloodlust and Can't Stop Swimming flaws.

>Wolf: Large Predator with the Speedy, Scent, and Pack Instincts bonuses, and the Fragile (compared to other similar predators) flaw.

>Duck: Water Bird with the Endurance, diving, and inconspicuous traits, and the "No Weapons" flaw

>Ant: Bug with the strong, tiny, and army bonuses, and three copies of the hive mind flaw

You want I should try to write up a system for this?
>>
>>22110799
>three copies of the hive mind flaw

oh god, ant morph. auto-fail san chacks all around.
>>
Like most Andalites Eederanell had aquired her form by choosing a genetic template from several humans, she was tall for a human, with short red hair that just barely reached her ears, her eyes were brown and over all her features looked asian. She had small breasts, in fact her chest was almost flat, and wide ample hips. (Anon had on several occasions called them child bearing hips, Nellie had come to the conclusion that this was part of some manner of courtship ritual and had only recently worked up the courage to respond to the human's advances.)

As was her habit when assuming her Human form on the ship Nellie plucked a piece of Nushash grass and began chewing on it, for some reason she found the bitter, spicy taste of the grass soothing, she enjoyed it even more in human form than in her native form.

Nellie spent a brief moment remember human expressions and mannerisms, it took her a few minutes but she managed to figure out how to smile.

Immersion broken. In the books the body undergoes minimal alteration, such as the front legs disappearing and the eye stalks, but the back legs and body shift into the new form. The arms bulk out, because andalites have rather weak arms (seeing as they don't use them for much).

At least it's better than termites. Ants, they eventually wake up and have control again. Termites, even when they realize they're in morph the body keeps following the programing.

The books talk about how the process is wildly unpredictable. I distinctly remember the temporary no limbs thing from at least one bug-morphing session.

Nellie made certain to smile as widely as possible so she could show off her perfect white teeth, she was also quite proud of her eyes and felt they were a fetching shade of brown so she kept those as wide open as physically possible. She picked up the tray of breakfast materials and scooted close to Anon, then she prodded him with her knee.

Anon woke up as most humans males did, slowly and with an erection. Nellie was hoping for a reaction, Anon diving into a patch of particularly tall patch of grass with a shriek of terror on his lips was not the reaction she had been hoping for. After some coaxing Nellie managed to get Anon to come back to bed so he could enjoy his breakfast. She made a mental note to start studying human body language since she clearly did not understand it as well as she thought she did.

Nellie probably would have felt guilty about terrifying her potential mate but she had food and a sense of taste. She could never feel bad while eating. Anon didn't care for the food from the synthesizer, sometimes he went so far as to prepare himself a meal with the grasses but Nellie had no trouble enjoying "The soggy Hot Pocket knock offs" and "the piss weak coffee."

The human ate mechanically and, as he always did when something "flustered his jimbobs" as he put it, stewed in his feelings of discontentment and general anger towards the universe. Nellie let him brood as they ate but even at her snail's pace she still managed to finish her breakfast. Which left the pair of them a great deal of time to spend. <Wanna talk about it?> she thought at anon in playful tones.

"Not really no..." said Anon quietly.

I reread them a few years back, they're still excellent. A little bit kiddy at times (Ax in human form or watching TV springs to mind), but a lot of that was needed to distract from how severely DARK the books were. It's the story of a bunch of middle/high-schoolers forced into being child soldiers in an impossible war against mind-raping brain slugs possessing their friends and families, and the inevitable loss of sanity and humanity they all suffer as a result of the terrorist actions they have to commit to survive. As a kid, they were the leader, the warrior, the loner, the kind one, and the joker. As an adult, they became the shell-shocked general, the psychopath, the traumatized child, the lost innocent, and the terrified cynic.

Hell, one of the biggest mind-fucks, going back, was the second book, everything about Rachel's friend's home life. Chapman's wife was an early collaborator, and he agreed to go along just so that his little girl would never be infested, but now, she's stuck in that nightmarish, loveless home life where they never even bothered to pretend to be human at home, and she blamed herself for it? Fuck manly tears, I was fucking WEEPING when I read that as an adult. It was just too damn tragic, and I didn't even see it when I was a kid.

They were not children's books, they were adult books written at children's-book length. Maybe that's why the high-point of every month as a child was when the new Animorphs book would come out. These WERE my childhood. I miss Scholastic.

Nellie scooted forward and rubbed her chest up against the back of Anon's torso, she rubbed her face in his hair and breathed in his scent. He sensations from her chest brought forth a curious warmth between her legs and she took hold of Anon's hand and pressed it against her slit. <<C'mon Anon, show me the sexual prowess that your Earth Authors are so proud of!>>

Anon shuddered as he felt Nellie's hand caress his maleness. He might be doing his best to pretend otherwise but Nellie's human form was quite attractive to him. His erection was proof enough of that. "Well if you're putting the pride of my species on the line..." Anon pulled away from Nellie and she spent a brief moment cursing herself for forcing the issue. Then he lay down on the bedding and placed his hands on her thighs. After a bit of shuffling placed her groin over his face Anon began stimulating her genitals with his tongue.

He was Visser Three's 'brother,' in that he budded off the same slug.

He was the 'inferior' brother, and he ate Yeerks to avoid needing Kadrona baths, because his 'brother' wanted him dead.

Visser Three just seemed to be a psychopath. Cannibalism isn't an unusual behavior for that personality profile.

No idea why.
>>
>>22111488
Well...how do you propagate your species, then? Or are you okay with any subsequent offspring you raise having no genetic relation to...YOU?

Oh wait...Yeerks reproduce by fission. Reproduction is death for them. And they really don't seem to have all that much of a distinct culture, so there's no crazy centuries-old culture to pass along.

Huh. Their evolution as a sentient species really is a cruel joke. I only fully understand that now that I'm older.

Of course, they COULD just make nonsentient carrier bodies for themselves with genetic engineering.
>>
>>22111683
Yeah, he was Visser Three's... There's a specific word for it in asexual reproduction, but I don't remember it, so let's just go with "twin." I don't think he ate other Yeerks because he liked to, I'm pretty sure it was the only alternative he had to Kandrona rays. Man, though, Jake's decision to go back and burn the mansion down so the guy wouldn't have a safe haven from Visser Three anymore... Sign of things to come.

Yeerk science is mostly stolen from Andalites and slave-races. While it may be theoretically possible, the Yeerks are culturally and intellectually cretins. They've had no time to develop from the stone age to the post-space-age.

The entire idea of tool-use and weaponry and so forth, for them, was only...less than a century?

They, uh...they were REALLY fast learners.

That also explains why they were such huge dicks, though. They didn't have a rich history or culture to draw on for perspective or philosophy or all those other enriching things that older species have. they went from pre-cavemen to...

I'd say that's part of it. No culture, no philosophy, but a metric fuckton of rage and jealousy. They were sightless slugs, stuck in tiny warm swamps, and the only creatures they could MAYBE infest were absurdly clumsy retarded ape-things. Then, their first encounter with alien life? Fucking Andalites. The first sentient life they meet other than them is a race of beautiful, graceful centaurs, who have a pleasant planet, all the grass they can eat, hands with thumbs, eyesight, and plenty of room to run and enjoy life. In other words, right at the same time as they're given technology, they've just found out what an insanely huge shit the universe had taken on them. They were pissed-off about being some big cosmic joke, and understandably so.
>>
Andalites have some incredibly sensitive ergoenous zones inside of their vagina and unlike some sapient species their females do indeed reach climax during sex, Andalite females however do not have a clitoris equivilent. The first brush of Anon's tongue against her clit surprised her so much that she nearly collapsed. She manages to catch herself on her elbows so she didn't slam her head into her partners groin. She did however for the first time as a human deign to use her voice. "Don't stop," she whispered as she gripped the bedrolls. "Whatever you do don't stop." Anon, being a gentlemen kept up his efforts to please his partner. He spread her labia wide with one of his hands and used the other to support her while sucking away at her clit. Nellie didn't bother to hold back, she creamed loudly and messily and filled the recreation room with the sounds of her enjoyment.
>>
>>22111855
Also can't help but imagine they have a culture-wide "I'll show them, I'll SHOW THEM ALL!" complex. I mean they're kind of like a bad evolutionary joke, and uplifted by the Andalites besides?

Hello there small human

Yeah really, when being an animal somehow makes you more sociable and capable of starting a relationship you know you were a pretty terrible human.
>>
>>22112008
Yeah, but it was just depressing in his case. They made it pretty clear from the outset that his home life was such absolute shit that he just wanted out by any means necessary. If he hadn't gotten the power, and gotten stuck as a hawk, he would have been a suicide before he was 18. As it was, he couldn't get out of his human form fast enough. As messed-up as she was, Rachel was an absolute saving grace for him, she was all he had to live for. Everything he had left of humanity was invested in her, and when she died, he completely let go. He was an utterly tragic figure.
>>
>>22108017
Wait a second, why not make a FATE version? Divide skills into "mind" (constant across forms) and "body" (dependant on form). Players assign a certain amount of skills to each new morph they acquire, divided as appropriate, and they have an aspect detailing what kind of animal they are.

Just trim off a lot of the fat and refine the story that's already there into one or two trilogies and you've got printed gold.

Nellie spent the next few minutes coming down from her orgasm and cuddling with Anon. But she steadfastly refused to let him get off. "Isn't this a little unfair?" He asked with a bit of petulance in his voice.

<<I have something in mind>> Stated Nellie in response to his question and with that she helped him sit up. She made certain she had enough room and then she reverted to her natural form. As with all her morphs her arms, legs, ears, and other features melted into her body and she turned into a featureless blob of flesh that grew until there was enough mass for an Andalite. Then her legs, arms, and other features slowly formed and took shape at the same time. With that done she took Anon by the hand and led him to their small ship's armory.

"You never let me in here." Stated Anon with some incredulity.

<<You never needed to be here before.>> Nellie thought back with husky thought tones.

After pressing some buttons on a holographic display and scanning her retinaes Nellie opened the Armory. As to be expected there was the rack of weapons and a few space suits but there was also an odd contraption next to locker where the morphing cube was kept. It was large, an almost featureless silver block that bore a mild resemblance to a vending machine. It had a small keypad, a scanner of some sort and an opening in the structure full of what appeared to be blue gel.

Nellie performed the same security protocols for the machine as for the door and then gestured at the blue opening. "It looks like an Onahole" muttered anon as he pressed his arm inside of the opening. He felt the spongy blue substance distort and stretch at his touch. "It FEELS like an onahole!"

<<Hush.>> Admonished Nellie <<Now Begin Aquiring and don't stop until I say so>> Anon focused and tried aquiring any genetic data he may have been touching, interestingly enough there was something to aquire here.

That was supposed to be a shit-tier dead-end of a miserable planet, but apparently all the other worlds were kind of scant in comparison, too...

Also, Father. Fucking FUCK, that whole sequence was creepy. Fucking tentacle underwater forest-of-the-dead Matrix with only one living mind in it, with all his dead friends plugged in like hard drives. And then he tries to say "goodbye" to his previous crush...

Fucking fuck.

They had a mostly symbiotic relationship with a local species that included tool use. I don't remember its name. I don't think the books ever go much into their society at that point but it wasn't very advanced.
>>
>>22112161
I don't know if you'll need to stat out so many right away, just have them build up to that point. Don't just give them access to stuff like the Gardens on their first adventure, make them word for that level of power. Battle morphs are all well and good, but tigers, gorillas, and grizzly bears are too far for a first adventure.

You can. The issue was that they didn't have one, and it would have re-set all of your learned morphs, thus he lost his original DNA. He only got it back through Ellemist fuckery.

>>22112161
Why stat the animals? Just let players allocate skills on the fly. Stat some examples, sure, but that's it. Some of the most prominent morphs from the books.

I find it funny that for a species of too-wonderful Warrior Poet Scientists who invented shapechanging, the andalites were pretty fucking myopic and incurious and elitist about it. Most of them never even TOUCHED morphing unless it was absolutely necessary; never bothered to build up "collections" or practice or anything.

Admittedly, I kind of liked how they were presented as being wonderful and great and superiror...and then turn out to be...not BAD, but huge pricks a lot of the time.

That was NEW for me. Now, I'm used to everyone "lawful good" in sci-f and fantasy, humans and non-humans alike, acting JUST LIKE THAT.

Flying as a bird or swimming as a dolphin or something equally fast would be a pretty kick ass weekend. I can definitely see how some people would make the permanent jump to it.

You are now realizing that in the future after the 1st books the morphing ability is used for animal conservation efforts. You'd have a massive pool of perverts and animal lovers to pull from.
>>
>>22105771
I don't think it does. If someone is a trapped morph, the cube CAN'T affect them. Otherwise, no one would ever be trapped, andalite or otherwise.

He got his morphing back because Elimist, and it was as a hawk because asshole genie monkey-paw.

"What...? What precisely am I elbow deep in at the moment?" Anon managed to sputter out as Nellie serenly poked and prodded a holographic interface.

<<Genetic Archive, fairly recent innovation. We're giving you an Andalite form. Keep Aquiring, you're still aquiring right?>> Anon nodded dumbly and did his best not to think about how...alive the gel of the Genetic Archive Terminal felt. The Aquisition process lasted maybe a few moments but it certainly felt longer than that. With this done Nellie shutdon the genetic archive, sealed the armory, brough them back to the rec room. Once there she calmly and patiently walked Anon through assembling a morph by combining a genetic template from multiple examples of the same species. This would give him an Andalite male form of roughly the same age but he wouldn't have to deal with a Sapient Andalite mind or worry about being mistaken for someone else.

Andalites are revealed to have such tech because they've been around a very long time - the Elimist mentions this at one point, and also Ax thinks in one book about how the Andalites took three times as long to go from flight to space travel compared to humans.

As with all his morphs Anon began by growing the new parts, his old hair sucked into his body and was replaced with blue fur, his ears became pointed, his scalp sprouted eyestalks, his body lengthened and his legs split apart becoming a pair of forelegs and hind legs his spine grew and eventually sprouted a long curved blade made of bone. He was wobbly at first but some coaxing by Nellie managed to get him to stand. <<So what do you think Anon?>> Thought-Purred Nellie in sultry thought tones.

<I kind of like being a feline more, there's lots of grace in those creatures.> He paused and shivered as his face slits pulled in the alluring aroma of Nellie's estrus. <Butthere's grace here too, and I have to admit you Andalites have a pretty Impressive natural Weapon.> Anon though he could ignore the need growing in his alien genitals by examining his new equipment, however evolution is a domineering bitch and nothing Anon could physically or mentally could stop his growing Andalite erection.

>A Dome Ship is a large combat/transport spacecraft that the Andalites use to travel the galaxy. It looks like a big mushroom, umbrella, or palm tree. The top section is covered in a huge, grassy field based on the Andalite homeworld. The section is protected by a transparent dome to view the stars while the crew members graze; Andalites need to run through a grassy feeding ground and have some wide open spaces (they seem to have hereditary claustrophobia) for both feeding and general well-being. The stalk contains living quarters, the engines, and the bridge. Dispite its size it can be assumed that a dome ships complement is in the hundreds or low thousands as much room is used for housing fighters and for the dome of the ship. A Dome ship can host many fighters, and is such a great combat force that generally only one is needed for an entire battle. There have however been several battles where the presence of two or sometimes even three Dome ships was necessary for victory. In battle, the dome detaches from the stalk, that way it can maneuver faster and fight more effectively. The Dome ship is a major asset for Andalite warriors and is an example of their wonderful technological advances.

Domeships are also said to posses extreamly powerful weapons, the main Shredder beams can punch a hole through a moon the size of earths or turn a planet into a cinder, it is left ambiguous as to wheather or not a dome ship can defeat a Yeerk pool ship.

Anon desperately tried to control his erection, but as the first Human male ever to gain sentience was forced to admit, he now had to admit that his dick, regardless of what form he was in, would do as it pleased. In this case his fuzzy blue sheath began to swell and drip thick, viscous fluid that filled the Rec Room with a wild musky scent. Nellie carefully brought the tuft of her tail around and soaked it in the musky secretions of her puffy, blue vagina and rubbed the soaked fur tuft against Anon's flaring faceslits. Anon thought-groaned at Nellie and pressed his hands against her chest, silently begging permission to mount her. She nuzzled his face but and affectionately rubbed her eyestalks against him but pulled away from him so he could check on the status of his cock. She found it much as she wanted it, throbbing powerfully and coated with viscous blue goo.

She pulled away from him entirely and began to morph after sending Anona Sultry Thought Chuckle,

Nellie spent a few brief moments as a shapeless mass of hair and flesh before assuming her human form. She crawled under his body and rested her back against the soft loam of the Rec Room and began rubbing the soft, pebbly flesh of Anon's blue cock. Anon dug his hooves into the Soft earth of the rec room floor and gripped his forelegs tightly with his hands. <Don't Tease me Nellie!> He thought-begged in plaintive thought-speech. But his cries for release might as well have gone unheard for all the attention Nellie paid them,

Nellie brought her human mouth up to the tip of his cock and began running her inquisitive tinge around the head of his penis as one of her hands rubbed at his enormous blue balls. She made vocal sounds of enjoyment as she suckled and swallowed his thick musky cockgoo. She placed both hands on his shaft and began rubbing and massaging it as she teased his indigo urethra with her tongue, in appreciation Anon's cock plastered her face with teal precum.

With a great deal of jaw stretching on her part Nellie managed to get the head of Anon's pulsing Indigo cock in her mouth. She slurped and suckled on it and hummed to let Anon know just how much she enjoyed the taste of his Andalite penis as she forcefully jerked off his throbbing space deer cock. Anon for his part managed to bruise his forelegs with the force of his gripping and it took everything he had not to thrust his hindquarters forward. He wanted to cum so bad, and Nellie just wouldn't teasing him. She could feel right when he was about to blow his load and she'd stop stimulating his veiny blue shaft just long enough to bring him down from the edge. Then she'd start kissing and fondling his balls while she teased the head of his shaft with her palm. Eventually though she agreed to stop torturing him and finally agreed to let him cum. She positioned her head in front of his meaty andalite maleness and opened her mouth wide.

With her mouth wide open and her eyes wide shut Nellie firmly gripped Anon's meaty cerulean wang and began to forcefully wank his throbbing teal maleness. Each forceful movement of Nellie's hands brought another jet of thick, gooey, fluid spurting onto her face until anon's hind legs quivered, until his balls throbbed and sloshed, until he broadcast a wordless thougt scream of orgasmic joy.

He came and splattered Nellie's face with neon blue cum, coating her face in a layer of bukake in a manner that would have caused Ron Jerome to break down and weep from the sheer pornagraphic beauty of the action. In three short pulses Anona's bright blue junk covered Nellie's human face, tits, and belly with a creamy blueberry load.

With this done anon keeled over and began the process of coming to terms with the sensations that his space man junk had gifted to him. Being a gentleman he fell over sideways and left Nellie to bask in the warm embrace of his cream filling.

Wolves, I don't see much trouble with as long as Hork Bajir younguns and Elders stay in the trees. Bears are more problematic but team work and rifles can solve that issue, hell they can just use advanced non-lethal tech on both the bears and the wolves.

Even if the Hork-Bajir are non-violent and as intelligent as a young child normally there's no reason you can't hand one a stun gun and teach them how to use it.

So the Elimist and Cryak basically spend the whole of eternity dicking around with one another and engaging in cosmic games that The Doctor and The Master probably wouldn't be too unfamiliar with.

Do you think the Elimist used Humanity for any more of his games after the kids all entered therapy and moved on to become productive adults. Shut the fuck up, it's better living in denial.
>>
>>22113661
The Yeerks, Humans, and Andalites was just one game they played. It was a ploy by The Elimist to limit Cryak's destruction. Before the game The Elimist traveled space seeding life and uplifting species, doing what he could to promote peace while Cryak did what he could to destroy it. Though I don't doubt that both entities still travel space I think Humanity for the most part has played its part for their struggle and any further impact either have on it are of unforseen consequence.
>>
>>22113779
Interesting position to take.

I'm of the opinion that if they started a game about developing civilizations and trying to create creatures which are peaceful/warlike constructive/destructive then there's no reason they wouldn't segue into a game about corruption/redemption and how in interacting each of the interstellar species proves that sapiant life is inherently good/evil.

I guess what I'm saying here is I want a space opera set in a post Yeerk invasion universe.
>>
>>22113927
I think that Humanity still has a role to play regardless of if Ellimist/Crayak planned for it. We're the wild card, and any hopes that the Ellimist pinned on humanity had to have been a gamble. Since we are kind of like the middle-ground between Yeerks and Andalites. In conclusion, yes, post-invasion Space Opera, definitely.
>>
>>22114012
So if Andalites have Domeships and Yeerk have Pool Ships what kind of ships do humans have? I'm leaning towards factory ships which consume resources in system and make swarms of autonomous and remote controlled drones.
>>
>>22114097
Humans have Colony Ships. Humans are expanding like wildfire and the Andalites are extremely concerned about the environmental impact.
>>
>>22114097
>>22114140
Close but no cigar, humans have Civilization Ships, each ship comes equipped with the means to build an entirely new civilization in system. If its just got asteroids you wind up with space colonies, if it has a planet or a moon that can be modified that planet gets terraformed. You get the idea.

What you wind up with are dozens of bickering human factions that unite briefling to defeat an outside threat and then fall to bickering once the threat is gone.

Only problem with the Civ Ships is that while they're industrial powerhouses they don't do so well in combat and need quite a bit of escort power.

Luckily, humans are totally peaceful, and always will be. The giant surface-to-space shredder cannons are just a precaution in case of unforseen eventualities and are not intended to be used offensively. Just like the dreadnoughts and fighter carriers that orbit some worlds.
>>
>>22114375
Might be interesting to see humans conquering Yeerk systems, forcing them into...well anything but a yeerk form, and then going "What...? I thought you hated Yeerks!" when Andalites start asking questions.
>>
>>22114465
Realistically, I don't see why humans would. Much better to just move to the world, keep all Yeerks cordoned away from human ears, and restrict access to Kadrona pools to insure that no statistically significant number gets into the human population and can live there. Then gradually reduce the areas allowed to Yeerks until they're inconsequential.
>>
Anyone read elimist chronicles? Best animorphs book imo
>>
>>22114606
eh I see humans splintering into dozens of different interstellar cultures and at least one would probably be pretty trigger happy. (how many people were tortured, killed, or otherwise traumatised by yeerks?) But yeah, you're right most humans would want no trabble and try to go about speaking softly and carrying a big stick.

>>22112745
One of my favourite books was actually the one where Tobias finds out that Elfangor is his father, for a few reasons:

- Fucking ELFANGOR is his father. The Andalite so hated by the Yeerks that there was not a Yeerk alive that did not know that name.
- Tobias finally chooses consciously to stay a hawk. Not that the emohawk is done yet, oh no...
- The sadness that comes when the only reason he's able to keep his cool and not lose it upon finding out the name of his father is because as a hawk, he no longer knows how to form human facial expressions.
>>
>>22115129
WELL IT'S WAR SO I'M ALLOWED TO INTRODUCE A NEW GALAXY-SPANNING THREAT AND NEVER RESOLVE IT OH BOY

It was a hackneyed ending and I'll hear none of that bullshit from the author.
>>
>he no longer knows how to form human facial expressions

dammit emohawk ;-;

I remember my favourite book was always The Attack or whatever. The one with the Howlers. I don't think it was the first time they ended up on another planet in the series, but it was definitely my favourite.
>>
>>22115200
Howlers are fucking terrifying. The first time the Animorphs fight ONE, with everything they had plus Erek coordinating them, they run like a little bitch. And the Howlers think it's all just a game.

Jake should have done a deal with the Ellimist to keep that morph.
>>
>>22115220
But he couldn't because those books are supposed to be outside the normal continuity.
>>
>>22115236
The Attack was #26 in the main series.
>>
>>22115220

Erek could have beat the Howlers alone if he wasn't programmed for nonviolence.
>>
>>22115256
Rachel was reduced to a gibbering mess when he broke his programming. I think when she of all people cries like a bitch, it's time to never explore what prompted that again.
>>
>>22115256
There is a very good reason why the Chee are all programmed for nonviolence.

Tomorrow or later today or whatever time /tg/ runs on, I think I'll put up a thread looking for some players and a DM to run an Animorphs tabletop of some sort. This thread and rereading the books has got me fucking psyched to play.

I felt strong fingers pry open my hand. I felt
the fingers lift out the crystal.
And then . . . later, much later, someone
slapped my face.
"Morph back, Marco. Morph back! Do it!"
-L woke up on the ground. Not a floor, the
ground. Dirt and leaves.
I sat up very fast. I looked at my body.
"Human!" I said. I wanted to cry from the sheer
relief of being myself again. Myself and alive.
I looked around. Jake. Cassie. Rachel.
Ax. All there! All human! Except for Ax,
of course.
Tobias was perched in the tree above us.
Someone else was there, too. I heard a voice
sobbing.
"You okay, Marco?" Jake asked.
"Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. Man, I was so
close to being dead!"
"You were," Jake said solemnly. "He gave you
an electric shock to start your heart again."
"Who did?"
Jake jerked his head toward the source of the crying.
It was Erek, sitting in the dirt with his head down.
>>
>>22115324
"Where are we?" I asked.
"Little bunch of trees, just down from Mat-corn.
Or what's left of Matcom."
"How did we get here? How did we get out of
that place? We were toast!"
Cassie came over and sat beside me. "You saved
us by getting the crystal to Erek. He used it. He
rewrote his programming. He's the one who . .
." She looked away. "He . . ."
"He took care of the Hork-Bajir," Rachel
said. "I saw some of it. I was still conscious."
I was confused. "How did Erek take care of the
Hork-Bajir?"
<He destroyed them all.>
Ax said.
I almost laughed. "Erek took out two dozen
Hork-Bajir?"
No one laughed with me. Erek had stopped sobbing.
I thought,
Why would a robot cry?
<AII the Hork-Bajir.>
Ax said. <AII the
human-Controllers. All of them.>
I stood up. I could see the Matcom
building. It was only a few hundred yards
away. There was a big hole in the front glass.
I had a very bad feeling
about what was on the other side of that glass.
All I could think of to say was,
"All
of them?"
"It lasted about ten seconds," Rachel said.
She closed her eyes, trying not to remember what
she had seen. But I guess the images weren't
easily shut out. She opened her eyes again, and to my
utter amazement, I saw tears.
That's what brought the horror home to me --
Rachel's tears.
<lt was extremely
brutal.> Ax said. <Very
brutal, and very swift. He carried us here. He
revived you. He even reattached my arm.>
I saw a scar on Ax's left arm.
>>
>>22115332
>>22115324
Also?

There were over two dozen Hork-Bajir. And two dozen human Controllers. Armed with machine guns and Dracon beams.

They all died. Violently.
>>
>>22115348
>>22115332
So, what I'm getting from this is, if we could override the programming on maybe five Chee, that's the war.
>>
>>22115363
One would be enough, if you could keep him in kill-mode as long as needed.
>>
>>22115363
until that Chee lost his shit over what humans were asking him to do
>>
>>22115363
As >>22115279
and >>22115281
said, there's a reason why they are nonviolent. If something is bad enough to reduce Rachel to tears and the point where she is too horrified to give voice to the carnage she witnessed (in TEN SECONDS), then you don't ever want to open that Pandora's box again.

As in, fucking EVER.
>>
>>22115363

You don't need five Chee. You only need one. And that is what should be horrifying.
>>
>>22115363
That's like saying 'we need to order five Terminators, no I'm sure nothing will go wrong, why do you ask'
>>
I'm up to the book where Jake gets infested and they have to starve the Yeerk out, and all he can do is talk about his boner for Cassie and how Marco is kind of a dick sometimes

kinda forgot how generally boring his early books are, hanging out for an Ax book soon
>>
>>22115671
First Ax book is #8.

What did you think of #4, the Cassie one? I liked the whale-dolphin stuff. "Great One" and all that. Especially when that whale started sledgehammering the fuck out of Visser Three in morph. It was glorious.
>>
>>22115769
>>22115769
I spent last thread and some of this thread bitching about Cassie, but that book was pretty damn cool. I'm not quite sure why Ax's call reached her (it would have reached Tobias because emohawk is his nephew), but it probably has something to do with her being an anomaly. One of my favourite parts was them just goofing around as dolphins, it was a nice change from the unrelenting Adult Fear and horror.

Right at the end Ax touched their faces to build his human morph, and it was revealed in a later book (possibly Hork-Bajir Chronicles, because I seem to recall Andrea clumsily trying to seduce someone) that that is how they kiss. Slightly awkward.
>>
>>22115868
She's an Estreen, half in morph anyway. A natural morpher. Tobias is in morph, technically, which is why it reached him.

And yeah, spending 45 minutes playing around in dolphin morph was funny. Especially all the emotions and chatter between them. That dolphin brain came very close to overwhelming them.
>>
>>22115769

Didn't a lot of Yeerks morph whales at the end of the series? Good choice, except now Japan will be making those anime joy-faces.

>>22115942
Only a hundred? He improved that by a factor of five hundred before the series ended.

he didn't even pretend to give a shit this time around, it was more like something Rachel would do. Pretty chilling, and as far as the book indicates, there was only one survivor - the Yeerk that infested Jake.

>>22116045
Pretty sure he justifies it with "it's war, and they took Tom". It's been a while since I read that one, but did Cassie object?

she stood guard for them as wolf, didn't even comment on it. Might chalk that up to ghostwriter weirdness or early-installment weirdness, because I'm fairly sure she would have had kittens over the idea at any other time.

He was still a somewhat naive innocent kid. And kids are cruel because they dont know any better

Can he be blamed for hating them?
>>
>>22116653
It's more the unrevealed nature of it that gets freaky. What you imagine is probably far worse than the reality. I read it and think "suddenly giblets... giblets everywhere". The sheer unadulterated carnage of something completely pacifistic turned supreme killer, and how absolutely it destroys anything and everything in its path.
>>
>>22114606
Maybe in the future humans genetically breed int themselves some sort of immunity to yerks. Like antibodies in the brain, or Inception like training that overides yeerk control

Sort of like that Immortals movie where the god appears and slo-mo turns all the mortal soldiers into meaty chunks in nothing more than a blur of motion? Except even faster? Erek has been claimed to be able to obliterate somebody down to the atomic level if he really wants to, after all. And can resist the pressure of the ocean at depths of >15000 feet or so. The kids had to spend half a book just getting a morph that could survive down there. Erek made it down in two minutes, if that.
>>
reading anon here

Just got through #7 and

>I saw Ax, his tail like a deadly bullwhip, lashing, cutting, lashing again, till one of the Hork-Bajir stood screaming, holding his own severed arm.

>I saw Marco fighting with one arm as he held his own sliced stomach together with the other hand.

SURE IS CHILDREN'S BOOK IN HERE, that fight with the eight Hork-Bajir near the top of the skyscraper was the first really gory fight. There's been a few things that have been an exercise in fridge horror, like Jake boiling Yeerks (though in the end I do agree with >>22116720 since they don't realise Taxxons are voluntary hosts for a reason and that Hork-Bajir are naturally peaceful), but yeah. This was definitely the first of those ultra-violent fight scenes we know and love.
