Title: Just thought of something...
Post by: Jchester87 on October 19, 2008, 08:52:08 PM
I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, so I am also sure you will probably have an answer to this.

Tobias, as a bird, only has two hours in morph.  The Animorphs have the blue morphing cube.

Why didn't Tobias just morph into a human, lose the power to morph but have his own body, and then use the cube?

Am I missing something?

Yes you are.  Once you become a nothlit you can't, at least with current Andalite technology, get the ability to morph again.

Thanks.  I believe you, but do you know of where that is said?

It's indirectly mentioned in #8 and I believe Elfangor says it outright in the Andalite Chronicles.

Yea, for that to happen requires crazy higher dimensional beings such as the Ellimist.

yeah, took the words right out of my mouth, musicman.

nothlits cannot morph.
otherwise, Arbron would have morphed back a LONG time ago. nobody wants to be a taxxon, not even a taxxon.

nobody wants to be a taxxon, not even a taxxon.

I think THAT was fairly well proven by the end of the series.

I can't believe how often this question is asked (no offence intended).

As the others have already said, it is impossible for a nothlit to get the morphing power (unless you happen to know an omnipotent being who owes you a favour).
