He's just one of those things that had potential, but was never used.

How many of those are there now?  ::)

I think David should've stayed long enough to have at least one book narrated by him. The Animorphs must have been feeling really generous cuz if I were one of them I'd have tried to convinve them to kill him, after all he did and all he was gonna do, there's no way they should've let him live espcially since he could still use thought speak even though he was a nothilt.

Even if they had wanted to kill him (which they didn't) killing him would have made them feel like they were as bad as him (even though they weren't). Besides, they figured he wouldn't last long as a rat, since he could easily be killed off by predators or lack of food. Even if he did survive what would he do? Join forces with Crayak and attempt some desperate revenge scheme? Like that would ever happen!  ::)

If Crayak gave him his morphing powers back, plus the kind of powers he offered Rachel, then he could have been a dangerous villain. All he would have to do is agree to kill Jake.

I'll admit right away that I wasn't a huge David fan. Can't say much else because it has been a long time time since I read that story arc. I'll reread those and come back here once I do.

Will say though that David wouldn't really be around very long as a rat. There are, yes, predators and lack of food. But the longest a rat can hope to live is 3 years. 4 years max if they are well off, and that's referring to pets. (I had 4 pet rats at one point)

So, maybe that was quite the punishment after all. Possibly worse than just being killed. Think about it: trapped in a morph that you know is short lived and very low in the food chain. They could have trapped him in...I don't know...tortoise morph! Those things live 100 years.

That's true. The average flea lives no more than 2 months. Or heck, even a mayfly. Those live only about a day, don't they?

I doubt the Ellimist would have let Crayak make a deal to give David all the powers he offered Rachel. He probably only let Crayak make that offer to Rachel because he knew she would refuse.

And how exactly would the Animorphs have tricked David into morphing a Flea and then trapping him inside a box which a Flea can't escape from?

That's a good point I didn't think of. They needed him in a form they could keep track of. So no matter how long the critter lives, they need to be able to see him.
