  • Lockdown salvaged parts for his ship from Taxxon sources. The AllSpark Almanac
  • The Taxxons possess an unceasing and irresistible instinct to constantly consume sustenance, especially meat. They will engage in feeding frenzies should they sense raw flesh or blood. They have no apparent qualms with cannibalizing their own kind, and if they are wounded they may even eat their own damaged flesh; one book featured a scene where Ax cut a Taxxon in half and it began to eat its severed half. Neither a Yeerk in control of a Taxxon body nor a human or Andalite in Taxxon morph can fully control this instinct. It was revealed that the Taxxons' overwhelming hunger is driven by their constant, overwhelming fear of starvation.
  • Taxxons are big ugly cannibalistic centipede-things that serve the Yeerks. Visser Three figured out how to give them morphing powers, allowing them to turn into slightly different big ugly things.
  • The Taxxon's face consists of a hole-like mouth full of serrated teeth, which it uses to gulp down food. It has four weak red eyes above its "mouth". Its body has a worm-like design while the feet are like needles, and it can regenerate its limbs should it happen to lose them. Taxxons are typically 8 to 10 feet long, about the height of a human when standing upright, due to the lower portion being used for balance. They have 32 limbs: twelve upper appendages that end in pinchers, rather like that of a lobster, and twenty lower appendages for walking.

  • The Taxxon's face consists of a hole-like mouth full of serrated teeth, which it uses to gulp down food. It has four weak red eyes above its "mouth". Its body has a worm-like design while the feet are like needles, and it can regenerate its limbs should it happen to lose them. Taxxons are typically 8 to 10 feet long, about the height of a human when standing upright, due to the lower portion being used for balance. They have 32 limbs: twelve upper appendages that end in pinchers, rather like that of a lobster, and twenty lower appendages for walking. Though they are slightly slower than humans on land, they are very fast in water, able to keep up with bottle-nosed dolphins with ease. It has an instinctive need to devour everything it comes across, even other Taxxons. Taxxons have a voracious appetite and will do anything for food, even give up their freedom. They will engage in feeding frenzies if they sense raw flesh or blood. If they are wounded, they will eat their own damaged body parts. No Yeerk, Andalite, or human can control this instinct should they morph into one.
