i'd say andalite or hork-bajir
but if we're talking bout local species.. i'll go with Lion. (it's a disturbing confession since i hate David)
and for underwater battle, definitely Great White Shark.
for air battle, Bald Eagle.

Even though I don't like David, the golden eagle is basically king of the skies. As much as Tobias might hate it, that would be my bird of prey morph.

I always felt cheap because other than the Garatron (which wouldn't necessarily need a blade attachment, a pocketknife or razor blade would do), my morphs usually mirrored Jakes.

Battle: White Siberian Tiger.  (Regular ones are cool, but I kile how the white's look.)
Air: Peregrine Falcon (agile little thing)
Sea: ?

Although I always thought the condor or some kind of vulture would be cool, too.  They're common, and the connotation of using something ugly and reviled for something cool and meaningful always seemed like a neat idea.

Only cos no one has said it and also because it's probably not possible Crayak/Ellimist! MWHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAA! If they're not possible then the creature that pretty much gave the Ellimist his boost sure it's the size of a moon but hey it'd definitely kick ass in virtually any planetary battle.

I doubt they even operate on a strictly DNA level anymore.  To them morphing's just like a primitive retarded children' game, like a little kid bashing two rocks together.

What about a wasp? It's the perfect battle morph. Both effective and beautiful...

I don't think I got this right. Mira, are you trying to tell me you like wasps?

My chose is a lion, a panther or a tiger anyway. Or some big cat

I like wasps. Even if I'm the only girl in universe.

Anyway, do you think you can acquire Crayak?

Just flirt with him,  giggle at his jokes, then when the moment is right lean in close, put your hand on his, acquire him, then give the signal for your friend to fake a phone call that means you have to leave right away, but you'll call him back . . . even if you haven't got his number  :P

You mean volunteer? Who wants to volunteer? How do you seduce a being that can create anything he wants? Or destroy, as the case may be?

With dark green lipstick. It's exotic.
Sure he can make what he wants but maybe he doesnt always know what he wants. ;)

My new Battle Morph would be Rick Astely with a boombox. Rick Roll the Yeerks until they all commit suicide.

Lol?

For each niche, I'd have a different morph (this is assuming I'm alone, in the book everyone covers something)

Battle in Enclosed/Small spaces - Lion
Battle in Jungle/Outdoor/Large Spaces - Siberian Tiger
Entry/Building Destruction - White Rhinoceros
Fast/Small Retreating Fight - Cheetah
Assassination - Taipan Snake
Long Distance/Hunting - Gray Wolf
Fighting When You Can't Lose to a Doornob/Use Weapons and Vehicles - Western Silverback Gorilla
General Bird of Prey - Golden Eagle
Fast Getaway Bird - Peregrine Falcon
Flight at Night - Great Horned Owl
Long Distance - Canada Goose
Unnoticed Flight - Dove or Seagull
Indoor/Dark Flight - Ghost Bat
Urban Camo - Tabby Cat
Freshwater - Largemouth Bass
Saltwater - Dolphin
Ocean Combat - Great White Shark, Orca
Deep Sea - Sperm Whale, Giant Squid
Insects - ****roach, Flea, Yellow Jacket, Dragonfly, Common Fly
Because I want them: Polar Bear, Grizzly Bear, Crocodile, Humpback Whale, Jaguar, African Elephant

Aliens I'd Want - Garatron (Speed), Hork-Bajir (Blades, Climbing, Intimidation), Andalite (Tailblade/Great Runner), Leeran (Telepathy). Any of Visser Three's battle morphs would be nice as well.


If I had to pick one overall morph for fighting, it would be the Tiger.
If I had to have one morph and nothing else, it would be the Golden Eagle. (I've always wanted to fly, and I'd rather not get killed doing it [Can't hunt eagles, they have no natural predators, and they, while big, don't attract attention like Bald Eagles])

Sorry if this list is obnoxiously long, I just wanted to cover everything  ;D
If anyone thinks I missed a niche or have unnecessary things, just say something. I wanted a morph so I could do anything, anywhere should I need to.

Well as much as I love cheetahs, they probably wouldn't be good close-up combat against aliens like Hork-Bajir or Taxxons. Going against humans, maybe but that's about it.

So my second choice would have to be the jaguar. If I had the option of it being black, yes.
