 I think Ellimist and Crayak are pretty cliched. The all-powerful mysterious entity.

 However, I thought Ellimist's background story was really rather interesting and not cliched.

Though these are tropes, not cliches, it gives a pretty good rundown.

I definitely agree that the Ellimist is extremely Cliched. the All powerful god-like entity who relies on prophets (Animorphs) and wants to save evry living creature in the world and only hates the 1 supreme evil of the universe? thats pretty cliche...... however this ambiguous town that has ever single imaginable trait also might hold its own..... but idk
