Taxxons: I try not to say "TAX-awnz" and go more for "TAX-ins", but it's gonna end up the first way anyway.

Hork-Bajir: "Hork-BAH-jurr"

Tobias: I know it's supposed to be "To-BYE-us", but I still think "TOE-bee-is".

Andalite: AN-duh-lite

Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill: Ax-i-MI-li-Ess-ga-ROWTH-Iss-thill

Elfangor: El-fang-or (with the "ng" sound kind of carrying over)

Escafil: ESS-kuh-fill

Helmacron: HELL-muh-crawn

Gedds: hard "g"

Yeerk: yee-urk, but more as one syllable. I just didn't want to type "yeeurk", because that's be a different pronunciation.

Visser: VISS-sir

Think that's all for the big ones. Now, smaller things:

Hereth illint: heh-RETH-i-LINT

... well, can't think of anymore.

I say To-bye-ass, Hork-ba-jeer, and Yee-rk, Jedd, Cray-ack, Vis-er, and I don't even bother to try and pronounce anything past Ax's first name

Because TV shows always pronounce it right.

Like "Larvaytar".

Tobias: I know it's supposed to be "To-BYE-us", but I still think "TOE-bee-is".

Not to be a dick here, but that's not how the name "Tobias" is ever pronounced.  It's "To-BYE-us".

I used to read it the second way too, but it's wrong.

Yeah.

Nobody else here watches Arrested Development?

If I didn't love Animorphs so much, it might be hard to reconcile my images of Animorphs' Tobias and Tobias Funke.

Oh my God.   :P

They're pretty hard to confuse.  But a disturbingly hilarious image.

I know it's wrong. That's why I said I think the second way. Not actually pronounce.

Ah, okay. Sorry.  I must have read it as "still think it's toe-bee-is".  My screw-up.
