I like the idea of rat, I'd probably trap him as that.

I like rats, make good pets, lol.

Trapping him as a cat or dog wouldn't work. Or really any animal that has good mobility. It would be extremely easy for him to go to the Yeerks and rat out the Animorphs.

Heh. A rat so he can't rat. Heh heh.

Yeah, I'm done...

     A talking Cat? Well, now that's just absurd ::)

     Personally, I would have given him the option of overstaying the time limit in Saddler morph. That way Saddler's family's happy, David can go back to a somewhat normal life; gravy. But David wouldn't go for that. So I guess we'll have to trap him as an animal. Though, I would make sure it was something that could defend itself, and with something of a longer life span than a rat.

     We could always do what they did on Sabrina the Teenaged Witch: trap him as a house cat and given him to Cassie's family.

Heh. A rat so he can't rat. Heh heh.

I always thought the rat thing was kinda symbolic of him being a traitor, I probably would have picked that.

     Snakes are also alluded to traitors. They could have trapped him as a rattle snake, or a cobra and dumped him in the desert or something.

Yeah, but I wouldn't have wanted him trapped as something that could kill people, so it would have had to be a nonvenomous snake, not a cobra

Actually, this thread got me thinking about something: Did David ever morph a dolphin?

I think that trapping him as a dolphin might have made him a better person. They use "morph therapy" in 54  to get Jake 'out of his funk." It would still be a risk, but I doubt that he would have gone to the yeerks, because he would have been too happy, especially if they had taken him WAY out to sea first so the morph could have an effect on David's personality.

Tobias said that the hawk instincts affected his personality, made him a stronger person ect.

Personally, I don't see anyway that David could change, even if he were happy...when he got control of the morph, even though the dolphin would be bubbly, he probably would still want revenge.

I myself would trap him in a fly morph. Or maybe a butterfly morph since they die quickly.

No dolphins, no dogs. The point was to punish him not stick him in a state of near eternal happiness. I think the rat thing was best put him in anything bigger and he'll attack ax in his sleep.

I think I would just kill him given that this is exactly what he was trying to do to them. Honestly I don't know what I would trap him as knowing that if it's a creature that is too big and mobile he could just go to the yeerks to rat them out. Maybe a dolphin as it would be less cruel and more safe than any mammal able to simply roam the land.

how exactly would you trap him as a dolphin though? If they threw him in the ocean than he could morph out. Rat or insicet seems most practical to trap him in a sapce where he couldnt morph out.

No one wants to be the executioner so they trapped him instead. I'm not so sure there is such a thing as a high horse when you make a decision that will so drastically affect the remainder of a person's life. If they wanted containment then any insect would do and most insect's lifespans are pretty short anyway. Special note, make sure it's not an insect that can metamorphose thus resetting 2h limit not that it's likely he could work that out.

I agree with pretty much everyone who's said that he couldn't be trusted with a mobile morph and "morph therapy" won't work. Has anyone seen The Last Samurai? I like the idea of essentially trapping someone in a humble lifestyle and changing people that way. Of course there's no guarantee it would work but still. The 2h limit of morphing limits how much "morph therapy" a person can receive but if they're trapped in a certain way of life 24/7 people adapt to their surroundings maybe given enough time that's enough to change who they are.
