So what about combining different animals in a kind of frolis manuever to create the best battle morph ever?

It just doesn't seem realistic to combine an eagle and lion to make a gryphon, and excpect everything to work well enough to fight.

That's very true... I guess it was a flawed idea...

you can't really control morphing (unless you're a really talented estreen), so you can't control what parts of an animal you morph. those parts might not combine well together. I mean you can try to get a lion with eagle wings, but you might end up with an eagle with a full-sized lion head... both animal parts completely useless...

Not only that, but it would be just about impossible for even the most talented Estreen in existence to get the combination just right so that everything would work perfectly...

And even if teh parts were proportionate  that doesnlt mean their internal organs will match plus with teh lion body there is no way teh wings will cause lift.

On the topic of Frolis Maneuvers, what happens if you combine the DNA of two members of a species, one completely normal and the other with a major genetic-based disability?  Are you half-crippled?

Please stay on topic, if you have an off-topic question, create a new topic solely for that question.

What other battle morphs do you think the Animorphs could've utilized? They covered almost the whole animal kingdom.

I think they covered just about everything. Anything else would probably be a bit redundant. Like using other cat morphs when Jake has a tiger. Maybe camels, though they weren't in the desert very often. And there aren't any camels in California anymore.

hahaha, yeah. They already did the desert thing when Cassie was in Aussie, didn't they?

Hey, going off of your initial post, would you say that this topic is covered? Or are there any other questions you have?

So you'd be cool with this thread being locked? Otherwise anything else is idle, off-topic chatter.

It's fine, if someone wants to do that. Nine pages is plenty for a good topic.
