NEW PLOT ADDITIONS

CHARACTERS

ANIBASE: Get to know Prince Seerow, the notorious Andalite that enables the Yeerks to begin terroizing aliens on other worlds and his family, Aldrea, her moody brother Barafin and biologist mother.

On the Hork-Bajir world, we meet the elders who proclaim Dak Hamee a seer: Mak Kahet, Ponto Fallah, and the Old One whose true name is Tila Fashat. When Dak becomes the leader of the Hork-Bajir resistance his best friend, Jagil Hullan and his mate, Delf Hajool, follow him, as does the former host to Esplin, a Hork-Bajir named Gah Fillat.

Esplin's Yeerk superiors include Akdor 1154, the Yeerk who leads the uprising against the Andalites, and Janath 429, a very wise and old Yeerk. Other Yeerks include Carger 7901, a crude and ambitious Yeerk who took to calling himself a sub-visser before being officially proclaimed one, and Alahar 7865, a panicky Yeerk that pilots Esplin's Bug Fighter.

Finally, we meet purple, arrogant Quatzhinnikan, a member of the Arn race that reveals the secrets of the Hork-Bajir to Aldrea and Dak.

ALIENS

Arn
The Arn are four-legged, brightly colored creatures with feathers all over their bodies and tow long arms ending in claws. They are an arrogant species of scientists that specialize in biology. After an asteroid hit their planet, the surviving Arn discovered that their atmosphere had been destroyed. They need many trees to creat a new atmosphere so they created the Hork-Bajir to take care of the trees for them. The Arn lived in cities built on cliff-walls above the molten core of the planet, hidden beneath the blue haze known as Father Deep, until Dak and Aldrea discovered their city and, subsquently, the truth about the Hork-Bajir and seers.

Hawjabrans
A species of aliens with brains spread out in nodes all over their bodies, making them useless hosts to the Yeerks.

Ongachic
The Ongachic, although successfully infested by the Yeerks, are nomadic species so spread throughout space that it is impossible for the Yeerks to ever find an infest them all. In Animorphs #8: The Alien, we learn that the females of the species look startingly like Warf from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
