Stupidest Things the Animorphs Have Ever Done

[LisaCharly]

I did that all the time as a kid. *shrug*

I'd say rachael morphing to starfish in the middle of a crowded beach during a class feild trip just to get an Earing back was the absolute dumbest thing that any of them did.

[Estelore]

What about the dumb things they never did?

Think how many hand-held dracon weapons they've had at their disposal to just take and use. Marco and Ax can even use them while in standard battle morphs.

Think how many times they could have morphed Hork-Bajir, marked each other somehow for mutual identification, and then gone into battle with those forms as concealment as well as muscle? Yeah, other Hork-Bajir might recognize them... but they might not.

Think how many times they could have learned the Frolis maneuver and used it for concealment, too. Demorph, morph somebody else partially = nobody can ID you as the same human.

Also, killing V3 and V1 simultaneously would make a power vacuum. Ugly for us down here on Earth, since V3 was what was preventing open war.

I think that has to be the top dumbest thing Jake has ever done. I know why it was done. Plot convenience. The author wanted it to happen, so it happened. That still makes it very stupid for Jake to do.

The starfish thing was also very stupid of Rachel, and she knew it. She did it anyway.

[Darth Zakryn]

I also agree with the starfish and the moving the 'rents out.

For the record, when I was younger the top dumbest thing I ever did: A kid dared me to walk home in the middle of school, so I did. It was only like three blocks, but still...

Getting into a battle every time with 5 animals and 1 Andalite. When the Yeerks are expecting 6 Andalites.

Same here. I just wish I had learned my lesson the twelfth time an alien landed to give me something. For the record it wasn't the morphing power.

Because going into battle as six identical Andalites would be less suspicious to you?

[cams]

I know, I know. 6 Andalite twins isn't a good solution either. But I always thought the Yeerks and Visser 3 were pretty stupid not to think it's weird that 5 out of 6 Andalites would prefer to fight as earth animals.
Visser 1 was suspicious of it even when she didn't meet the Animorphs as often as Visser 3 did.
I think a better strategy is to go as 3 Andalites and 3 animals. With the 3 animals morphers randomly chosen or whatever battle morph would be needed.

[Chad32]

It was mostly Visser Three scoffing at the idea of Humans being threatening to them. Especially with Andalite law being what it is. His smarter underlings, that were suspicious way back in book 4, were too afraid of decapitation to try to set him straight.

Rachel was a complete %%%^$* idiot when she jumped into the crocodile enclosure.

[Chad32]

Well she's not like Marco. She's impulsive. It was a bad move, even if it did keep the kid from dying.

[Darth Zakryn]

Rachel walking home from the mall without telling her mother. But she had every right to STOP A MAN FROM RAPING HER, as poparena says.

Sure this seems slightly dangerous, but what was she supposed to do, allow an innocent child to be eaten when she could save him? That is just cruel and heartless. To allow someone to die and inflict an agonizing pain on those that loved that person would be criminal. If rachel had chosen not to save that kid, she would have ceased being human. I say this because true human beings feel compassion, love, and responsiblity towards others, they strive to make the world better and be as nice to others as circumstance would allow. Plus I think it would have haunted her if she had not done SOMETHING. Rachel would have lost her soul if that kid had died.

I understand that it was war and sometimes you have to make sacrafices, but this was just not of those times.
