The One [spoilers]
« on: March 04, 2010, 01:21:40 PM »
In last book Ax becomes a part of a creature called The One, I have noticed that this creature bears a striking resemblance to Father (the seasponge in The Elemist). Is The one nothing but a space-faring version of Father or is there something more to him, it, they? I know that we were given extremely little information about The One, but what are your conjectures?

Personally, I think that The One is the entity that threw Cryak from his home galaxy.

There is nothing to spoil about The One, as we really know nothing about it. yes it seems similar to Father, and could be like a more advanced version of it. It could be what kicked Crayak out of the other galaxy. it's all up to fanfiction.

The thing is, The One is described as a terribly evil force. Like all the evil of the galaxy combined or something. But Father wasn't really evil. He was just a sponge that absorbed entities, and its sentience came from the minds of other creatures. It had no real mind of its own, so father can't be considered evil.

I think the whole The-One-threw-Crayak-out-of-galaxy thing has been discussed before. I've kinda stuck with that idea.

@Chad28: But, couldn't it also be, since The One absorbs sentient life, that it's intelligence also partly comes from other beings? Maybe it didn't start out evil but the minds of everything it assimilated caused it to go insane with power?

we know nothing about it other than it takes new species and absorbs them in some way.

other than that, one guess is the same as the other.

Its conscience could have been molded by the minds it took. I guess it depends on what the first race it took was like.

im partial to a fanfic explanation i read that said the one was created by crayak.  it sorta makes sense for it to be a creation, or a tool in the sense the yeerks are.

Ooooh! Pick me! Pick me! Crayak creates The One, thinking it will give him an edge the Ellimist knows nothing about BUT The One grows strong from absorbing other races. Too strong. So The One kicks Crayak out of the galaxy and sort of "becomes his own man." That would be an interesting fic from Crayak's point of view...

I like this concept, having a creation from the ultimate evil biting himself on the back and the good guys coming across it and having to clean it up.
If 'The One' isn't Cryak himself, can anyone hypothesize how it seemed to know Jake?

Or it had Ax's memories.  And Ax knew Jake...

I'll take the latter.
Think those aliens in The Familiar were a bit more ambiguous than this One-entity-creature lets one. I think it's more probable to think of it along the lines of The Cryak or one of his creations.

One of his creations? The only ones we actually know about are the Howlers as far as I remember and they're gone (although I wonder why Crayak can't just start again on them from scratch).

You are forgetting The Drode, mate...
It's just for a creature to be that evil and that powerful living in the Animorphs Universe, it has to have something to do with the ultimate-antagonist: Cryak, me thinks.

He's a servant, but no one ever said Crayak made the Drode: he had a race, but we know nothing more than that.

 Personally, there was nothing in the series for me to imply the One was more powerful than Crayak (and nothing to imply he isn't), but the way he presented himself just didn't seem to line up with the way the all-powerful beings in Animorphs do (ellimist and crayak). I've always picture the One as robotic in original nature.

I also thought that he was either another servant similar to the Drode (like the new "Drode") or either something that came from the Kelbrids.
