p 26 of paperback: A Yeerk falcon tells Ax that it wants to be a nothlit, and is only 5 minutes away from that goal. It says that once it is frozen in Falcon form, it will be free from Kandrona, orders, and war.
Was this falcon an actual Yeerk in its natural form, or merely a Yeerk's host? If it was the host body, won't the Yeerk inside still need to feed every three days?
