If you were an Animorph, what would your battle morph be?

[Chad32]

Actually, yes they did. They even started a resistance movement there, that wasn't mentioned at the end of the series.

[Dylan]

If the resistance came back, then The Prophecy wouldn't be a total filler book.

[Chad32]

I would have settled for Toby taking the Free Horks of Earth to the Homeworld to help with the resistance effort in 54. Then at least we'd get some closure with her story.

[Dylan]

Toby didn't have much story to begin with.

[Tim Bruening]

How can a single Brazilian Wandering Spider or a single Africanized Honey Bee bring down a Hork-Bajir or an Andalite?

Why aren't alligators in the poll?

[Tim Bruening]

The Animorphs never to the hork bajir homeworld.

In one book, they DID go to the Hork-Bajir Homeworld to help the free Hork-Bajir recover some weapons and kick some Yeerk ass.

[Tim Bruening]

I admit, I put African bee as joke....

Crocidile is there, and that's close enough to alligator

But what about Brazilian Wandering Spiders?  How can they serve as a battle morph?

[Tim Bruening]

Can I nominate cobras and rattle snakes for the poll?

Are Brazilian Wandering Spiders very poisonous?  If that's what qualifies them for the battle morph poll, can I nominate black widow spiders?

[Dylan]

I already have two deadlier snakes here. Black Mamba and Anaconda.

Black Widows are tiny. You don't realize how big Brazilian Wandering Spiders are.

[Chad32]

Something like a black mamba racing around tagging enemies would cause some chaos, to be sure. Pretty risky, though.

Black Mamba seems like a pretty ballsy battle morph. I think you could use it as a battlemorph, though the person using it would have to be careful.

Why would tagging Yeerk infested personnel wreck havoc?

[Tim Bruening]

Brazilian wandering spiders, although large for spiders and poisonous, don't impress me as a viable battle morph. 

From the WikiPedia article: "The spiders in the genus can grow to have a leg span of 13 to 15 cm (5.1 to 5.9 in).  Their body length ranges from 17 to 48 mm (0.67 to 1.89 in)."  This doesn't seem large enough to fight Hork Bajir.

Their bite can be poisonous, but they aren't well adapted to envenom large animals such as humans.

Oh well, I'm not taking it off

Did anyone ever morph a Brazilian wandering spider during the series?
