Just thought of something...

[Jchester87]

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?

[musicman88]

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

[Jchester87]

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

[Terenia]

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

[wolfev]

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

[goom]

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.

[Kitulean]

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).
