What about the Howlers? Didn't Crayak kill them all after they had the kissing memory transplanted into them? I think he did, not sure, though. That would make Jake indirectly respobsible for the deaths of all the Howlers Crayak had created, since Jake gave the Howlers his memories.

We're only counting direct kills. no others. So only the Howler that Jake forced off the platform would count.

Also, it was Crayak that directly killed those Howlers, not Jake.

I'll start the RAFproject thread. I just wanted everyone's opinion on the template.

Ah, thanks for all the replies, people, and to Parker for starting the new thread. I'm surprised this got so many responses. I'd concur with Parker's idea that it's only the direct kills that count; including the notion of "ultimate responsibility" (via an order by Jake, or somesuch) would start us down a slippery slope that quickly becomes a vertical precipice of hopeless vagary.

I'm rather busy with school at the moment, but I'll definitely contribute when I can.

[Darth Revan]

Sweet. Yeah, if we went with "Ultimate" Responsibility, The animorphs are responsible for all the deaths. If they didn't fight, the infestation would most likely gone without notice.

Just post in the new thread which book you want to tackle if you wanna.

[Tim Bruening]

Exactly. Plus I believe he killed 100 others in book 6 when he boiled the Yeerks in that mini Yeerk Pool at the hospital.

I had thought that only ONE Yeerk was in that pool, and it went INTO Jake!

Goshhhhhhhhhh. Use spoiler tags

Goshhhhhhhhhh. Use spoiler tags

Done.

[Darth Revan]

Tim, the books you've recorded have already been claimed. Also, the actual body count project isn't recorded here.

I'll start the RAFproject thread. I just wanted everyone's opinion on the template.

If you want to revitalize the project, then cool. Please review the first post, choose a book and follow the parameters of the project detailed within.

Thanks for your interest.

Ok, I did an approximate calculation of how many enemies have been killed by animorphs. It's not simple, because in many cases it's not clear if a Hork-Bajir or a Taxxon is dead or wounded. In other cases the number of casualties is vague.

#1 : 7 Hork-Bajir, 3 Taxxon, 1 human-controller
#2 : 1 HB
#3 : 1 TX , 2-3 controllers on the helicopter, unknown killed in the explosion of the tank ship and the bug fighter
#4 :  12 TX
#5  : 4 HB, 1 TX
#6: around 100 yeerks without host body in the pool
#7 : 1 TX, at least 11 HB and 3 HC
#8: 5 HB
#10: 20 human-controller and 25 HB killed by animorphs and Erek
#12 : 1 yeerk
#13: 6 HB
#14 : 5 HB
#15 :  5 HB, 1 TX, 1 Leeran, other unspecified HB
#17 : 2 HB
#18 : at least 5 yeerks from Leerans' bodies. Thousands of Yeerks killed by the Andalites in the explosion of Leera's continent
#19 : 7 HB
#20 : 4 HB
#23 : 4 yeerks, probably other controllers
#25 : 1 TX, probably at least 7 HB
#27 : at least 4 TX and 2 HB
#28 : 1 TX, at least 2 HB
#30 : 4 HB, surely other HBs ant TXs
#32 : 6 HB, at least 1 TX, other HB and TX
#33 : at least 12 HB
#34 : at least 4 TX, some HB, thousands of Yeerks on the Hork-Bajir planet
#35 : at least 1 HB
#37 : at least 6 HB
#38 at least 7 HB and 6 HC, at least 5 HB and 2 TX killed by others (the Andalites), several yeerks in the pool
#39 : at least 10 TX and 7 HB
#40 : at least 10 HB
#41 : at least 15 HB
#43 : at least 2 HB, 1 Taxxon, 6 HC
#44 : at least 8 HB and 5 TX
#45 : at least 9 HB, 1 Taxxon, 3 yeerks, several others in the pool
#46 : at least 3 HB, 3 Yeerks, several HC
#47 : at least 6 TX, 11 HB but surely many more in the flooding
#49 : at least 7 HB
#50 : at least 6 HB and 4 TX
#51 : 7 yeerks morphed, 2 HC on the helicopter
#52 : 6 HB, 5 yeerks morphed, 10 HC morphed, hundreds or thousands of yeerk in the explosion of the pool, probably several Controllers in the cave

There are no killings in book 9, 11, 16,21,22, 24, 26,29,31,36,42, 48

TOTALE ESTIMATES :

Controllers killed for sure by Anis and allies : 216 Hork-Bajirs, 59 Taxxons, 60 Human-Controllers, 1 Leeran, 1 Garatron, 12 morphed yeerks
Unhosted yeerks killed for sure : 232

Controllers probably kiled by Anis and allies : 300-400 Hork-Bajirs, 200 Taxxons, 100 Human-Controllers

Unhosted yeerks probably killed : 2,000-10,000 on Earth, same number on HB-planet

Total enemies killed from "The Invasion" to "The Sacrifice" : 12.000-21.000

In #53 The Answer they kill 17.372 unhosted yeerks, so probably the death toll is around 29.000-38.000 enemies killed.

[RYTX]

Very cool, but I must ask why you aren't counting the Howlers: at least one lead off a cliff, potentially the whole race wiped out. Granted it's not a Yeerk killing

[Dylan]

+1 that's pretty cool

It's kinda funny considering they didn't want to kill humans and yet that's there second highest kill count.
