Plot summary

The Yeerks repair a downed Helmacron ship and use its sensors to track the Escafil Device and the Animorphs morphing abilities. Cassie is forced to relocate the Escafil Device. During the process, a Cape buffalo and an ant inadvertently gain the morphing ability. The buffalo morphs Chapman and begins to learn speech, and the ant morphs Cassie. Cassie kills the ant when it demorphs, and near the end of the book the buffalo is killed by a Dracon beam. However, the Animorphs come up with a plan similar to Megamorphs #1, in which Cassie morphs a humpback whale in midair to destroy the helicopter carrying the Helmacron ship.

  • The book alludes to Tobias and Ax possibly being in wolf morphs; however, neither possess wolf morphs and, by the end of the series, never managed to.

gollark: So the teeth parts are still attached to the fabric fine. It's just that the slider thing has slipped off the teeth somehow.
gollark: Hold on while I look up zipper terminology.
gollark: I see.
gollark: I don't know how they work so reliably most of the time. Very sorcerous mechanical engineering.
