Wake up, go to school, save the world... by morphing into different animals and fighting a violent maniac, walking salad shooters, and giant cannibalistic centipedes. What Do You Mean It's for Kids?? * Animorphs gave us the nightmarish puppetmaster Yeerks, the Taxxons, insane-with-hunger giant centipedes (who are also cannibals and will eat themselves if they are injured/hungry enough (And they're always hungry)), and the Hork-Bajir, benign but enslaved bladed lizard men (who started out as mooks but turned out to be really sympathetic), as well as morphing in general and the terror at getting stuck in animal form -- or, worse, between forms -- in particular. * In one book, we get to see how a Taxxon thinks- which is basically a never-ending, overwhelming sense of fear of starvation.
