well... not really... Elfangor doesn't know "Loren" is Visser one. He'll probably just use the Time Matrix to strengthen the fleet.

I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense. But I have also, again and again, challenged readers to think about what they were reading. To th

I doubt Elfangor would've given the Animorphs their powers if he lived. However, if he thought he was about to die, then he would've still given it to them. Imagine his surprise if he ended up waking up the next morning finding that the Animorphs had saved him somehow (maybe he passed out or something once he gave them the powers?). Would he think that he caused not one, but five abominations this time? :P

If he was alive and well that night, he probably would've used the Time Matrix, like how everyone else has said already (or he would've ran away and then snuck back). If Elfangor got a hold of the Time Matrix again, I wouldn't be surprised if the Ellimist actually did interfere with him then. The last time he touched that thing it was chaos, so the Ellimist would probably have no choice but to step in.

The time matrix was only a failure because multiple minds were using it. Remember Visser 4 was quite successful in his attempt with it. Also, Elfangor knew Tobias was in the group so I doubt that he would considered his own son an abomination.

Interestingly enough, you could argue that David was the animorph's abomination.

If that was an abomination, what do you call the buffa-human and that ant in #39?

i'd always wondered why elfangor didn't try morphing at the end..
they had a few good minutes, and he obviously wasn't mentally damaged, just wounded.

*sigh*

morphing i don't think would help because all he have is big things and then he gets shot.

Does anyone ever think maybe he was just ready for it to be over? Maybe he died because he wanted to hand the "baton" tosomeone else and be done with life.

it's not that hard to understand. unless he's edited his post, it's only missing commas. not too big of a problem.

Not sure what to say about the other stuff, but I'm pretty sure Elfangor would try to break the news to Tobias. Remember how upset he was in AC when the Ellimist yanked him away and he learned Loren was pregnant?

It was pretty much "Woah! I have a kid, dude! This changes everything, you can't take me away from that!"

Oh man, now I have the whole Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker thing in my head. Except with Elfangor and Tobias.  ::)

Elfangor: No, I am your father!
Tobias: It's not true!
Elfangor: Search your feelings, you know it to be true!

If there's one thing I admired about the book where Tobias found out Elfangor was his father, it's that it DIDN'T go down the Star Wars "I am your father" route. It was very well handled.

And then the TV show broke it. :(

 how far back would Elfangor go if he had the time matrix? could literally, he could've gone all the way back to Seerow.

If he had the time matrix he could have destroyed the yeerk invasion by killing Visser One when she arrived on earth. Then he would take his place with Loren and raise Tobias. The question is whether or not he would have stayed on earth or dragged Loren and Tobias to The Andalite Homeworld and made them Andalite Nothlits so that they would not be outsiders.

I would have had Elfangor go back in time to warn Seerow to not give the Yeerks advanced technology in the first place!
