* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: It's her cover morph in ''The Return''.

=== Tobias ===
[[File:antobias 7266.gif|frame]]

* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: {{spoiler|In ''The Pretender'', the woman who was going to be Tobias's new family turns out to be Visser Three in a morph.}}

=== Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill (Ax) ===

* [[Humanity Ensues]]
* [[Humans Are
* [[Humans Through Alien Eyes]]
* [[Humorless Aliens|Humorless Alien]]: At first, though he gets better as the series progresses.
Line 392:
* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]
=== David ===
{{quote|''Smirking, pouting, easily offended David. David, who half the time seemed to be reckless, but other times had been cowardly and quickly panicked. David, the new Animorph.''}}
Line 444:
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: In ''The Return''. {{spoiler|He manages to recruit two henchmen, but they're both bumbling idiots who ultimately end up [[The Dog Bites Back|turning on him]].}}

Line 456:

{{quote|''We trusted them and they did us proud.''}}
Line 486:
== Yeerk Empire ==
=== Visser Three (Esplin 9466 the primary), later, {{spoiler|Visser One}} ===
[[File:anvisserthree 6172.gif|frame]]
Line 556:
* [[Villainous Rescue]]: Without him those kids would have been ''screwed'' by the Nartec.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: And how!
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: A ''lot.'' Visser One notes that he's executed subordinates "by the poolful," which basically means thousands or more. He does this so reliably that Marco's able to bluff his way out of a situation where three flunkies were expected by saying, "I think Visser Three killed them for doing something wrong". He chastises himself for this, calling it the worse lie he's ever told, only for it to be believed.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: He has a form devoted to this, a Vanarx, which can suck the Yeerk out of its host and eat it.
=== Visser One (Edriss-Five-Six-Two) ===
{{quote|''I took a human host and learned about the planet and humans, and because of that I was able to begin the invasion that you have now endangered with your criminal incompetence! ...You want to be Visser One? You want to take my title? We shall see.''}}
Line 603:
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: In stark contrast to [[0% Approval Rating|Visser Three]].
=== Hedrick Chapman (Iniss-Two-Two-Six) ===
{{quote|''Sorry I skipped class, Mr. Chapman, but I've been in this lizard body, watching you because I know you're a Controller and part of a giant alien conspiracy to take over the earth.''}}
Line 627:
* [[Starter Villain]]: For the first five books the Animorphs encountered him pretty regularly and then he faded into the background as more formidable threats began to make themselves known.
=== Joe Bob Fenestre ({{spoiler|Esplin 9466 the lesser}}) ===
{{quote|''My brother, my twin, is the prime. To him go the best assignments, the best hosts, the rank, the power, the glory. And to me, only what I can take. Well, that wasn't good enough. I wanted more. And if I couldn't have it as a Yeerk, I'd have it as a human.''}}
Line 660:
* [[Villain of the Week]]: In ''The Warning''.
=== Karen (Aftran-Nine-Four-Two) ===
{{quote|''You tell me what you think I should do. Andalites, humans, there's no difference: You're both smug, moralizing, superior races. You both live in beautiful worlds. You have hands and eyes and the freedom to move about wherever you like. And you hate us for wanting all those same things.''}}
Line 683:
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: She gives Cassie a few in ''The Departure''.
=== John Berryman Jr. (Visser Four) ===
{{quote|''One doesn't want mere baboons blundering about with Time Matrices, does one? Who knows what damage a fool with such power may do?''}}
Line 709:
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: When the Animorphs erase Berryman from history, Visser Four is spared - all that changes in ''his'' history is that Berryman never becomes his host and he never gets the Time Matrix. Despite this, he never appears again.
=== Taylor (Sub-Visser Fifty-one) ===
{{quote|''Join me in my madness, Andalite.''}}
Line 735:
* [[Femme Fatale]]
* [[First-Name Basis]]: Taylor's last name is never revealed.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Largely averted. It is ''possible'' to read her obsession with capturing and breaking Tobias (and some of the [[We Can Rule Together|lines she says to him]]) as rather [[Foe Yay]]-y, but it requires you to ignore her personality. She's described as so cold, nasty, and downright insane that most of it comes off exactly the way it's supposed to: as the behaviour of an insecure, sadistic bullying bitch who doesn't like letting her victims get away. [[
* [[Hollywood Cyborg]]: She was healed by advanced alien technology.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Taylor the Yeerk fakes one in order to bring the kids in on her plot. Taylor the Human pulls one in Book 43, temporarily taking control of her body in order to warn Tobias out of trusting her master}}.
Line 758:
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Tobias almost [[Heroic BSOD|shuts down]] when he runs into her again in ''The Test''.
=== The Inspector ===
{{quote|''That's where this thing belonged. In a cartoon. Where the impossible is possible.''}}
Line 788:
* [[Villain of the Week]]: And an extremely successful one. In the [[One-Shot Character|one book he appears in]] he nicely upstages [[Big Bad|Visser Three]] as the biggest threat to the cast.
=== Tom Berenson (and his Yeerks) ===
{{quote|''I had to rein in a powerful desire to go after him. It's hard to conceive of the impotent rage you feel watching someone you love be reduced to a mindless puppet.''}}
Line 810:
* [[No Name Given]]: Tom's second Yeerk. Even among fellow Yeerks, he is referred to simply as Tom.
* [[Panthera Awesome]]: He's acquired a jaguar battle morph, though we never get to see it.
* [[Polite Villains, Rude Heroes]]: Deliberately invoked in ''The Answer'':
{{quote|'''Tom''': Oh, you're a surly bunch, aren't you? No one talks to me. No one but Rachel, who told me to... well, you can guess what Rachel told me to do.
'''Jake''': Whatever she said goes for all of us.
Line 828:
== Andalites ==
=== Prince Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul ===
[[File:anelfangor 6039.gif|frame]]
Line 844:
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: In ''The Andalite Chronicles''.
* [[Humans Through Alien Eyes]]
* [[I
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: With Loren.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|Tobias}} is actually his son.
Line 862:
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: It's revealed in ''The Pretender'' that Visser Three eventually came to regard him this way.
=== Arbron ===
{{quote|''''Aristh''...I mean, ''Warrior'' Arbron is a casualty of war.''}}
Line 891:
* [[Telepathic Spacemen]]
=== War-Prince Alloran-Semitur-Corass ===
[[File:anvisserthree 6172.gif|frame]]
Line 920:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]
=== Aldrea-Iskillion-Falan ===
{{quote|''No, I won't help you to understand. But I will help you kill Yeerks. That, I will do. I will help you kill them. And kill them. And kill them! And kill them all!''}}
Line 929:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Animorphism]]
* [[Back
* [[Break the Cutie]]: In the first fifty pages of ''The Hork-Bajir Chronicles'' she loses her pride, her home, and her entire family.
* [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]: At first.
Line 949:
* [[Telepathic Spacemen]]
=== Arbat-Elivat-Estoni ===
{{quote|''The people must be led by the few who are willing to make the very hard choices. The people are happy in their ignorance. But we in the Apex Level cannot allow ourselves to be sentimental.''}}
Line 982:
== The Higher Powers ==
=== The Ellimist ===
[[File:anellimist 1531.gif|frame]]
Line 1,020:
* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]]
=== Crayak ===
{{quote|''I will cleanse this galaxy of all life. Then, when no sentient thing is left alive, I will kill you, Ellimist. That's my game. Shall we play?''}}
Line 1,042:
* [[For the Evulz]]: He massacres entire species and enjoys the suffering and torment of others... because hey, it's something to do. When he and the Ellimist first acquire their near-omnipotent powers, the Ellimist suggests that since they're incapable of killing each other now and can just undo any damage the other does to the galaxy, they could call a truce and just watch the advance of evolution. Crayak refuses because he finds the idea boring.
* [[Giant Eye of Doom]]
* [[God of Evil]]: He comes across as this, especially since unlike the Ellimist his backstory is never revealed. Additionally, the author admitted to modeling him after personifications of 'pure evil' such as Sauron from [[The Lord of the Rings]].
* [[I Lied]]: To {{spoiler|David}}. He promises him revenge against Rachel, but merely uses him as a tool against her.
* [[Leave Your Quest Test]]: Playing up his role as the Ellimist's [[Evil Counterpart]], Crayak extends Jake an offer to alter history so he never met Elfangor. {{spoiler|Jake accepts this offer, and it's the basis for ''Megamorphs #04''.}}
Line 1,056:
* [[Talking in Your Dreams]]: He appears to both Jake and Rachel in dreams.
=== The Drode ===
{{quote|''Yes, yes, oh yes. Mustn't upset the balance. Not directly, anyway. But! Create problems? Yes. Create opportunities? Yes. Play the wild card? Of course.''}}
Line 1,082:
* [[Wild Card]]: See above. His name literally means wild card.
=== The One ===
{{quote|''You have done well to come this far. You have come to find your friend. But {{spoiler|the Andalite}} is part of me now. As you will soon be.''}}
Line 1,113:
== Everyone Else ==
=== Erek King ===
{{quote|''This will be a meeting of allies, Marco. You see, we, too, fight the Yeerks.''}}
Line 1,172:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: "This is so low. This is so far beneath you, Jake ...I was offering my opinion on your morals and your ethics and your sense of decency. I chose an ancient Mesopotamian dialect well-known for its variety of curse words."
=== Loren ===
{{quote|''She's a million light-years from her home, Arbron. Confronting species she never knew existed. Suddenly thrust into the middle of an intergalactic war. I think she is very brave.''}}
Line 1,195:
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: She's curiously absent from the last book.
=== Toby Hamee ===
{{quote|''A fool is strong so that others will see. A wise person is strong for himself. The Hork-Bajir will be strong for the Hork-Bajir. That way, when the Yeerks are all gone, we will still be strong.''}}
Line 1,219:
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: During the events of the series she is only a year or two old.
=== Queen Soco ===
{{quote|''I will discover the truth, Surface-Dwellers. Have no doubt of that. But I am also a magnanimous queen. Feel free to further explore the Nartec world. We will meet again later. Perhaps.''}}
Line 1,246:
* [[Wicked Cultured]]
=== General Sam Doubleday ===
{{quote|''See the stars on my shoulder there, son? I'm a major general, U.S. Army. You're a kid who can turn into a bug. I take my orders from the chain of command, and that ain't you.''}}
Line 1,264:
* [[The War Room]]: He runs his campaign against the Yeerks out of one. Jake notes that it seems an awful like what you'd see in a movie; old guys chomping cigars, guys in suits and [[The Big Board|a big map]] (that has his hometown crossed out, {{spoiler|presumably because it isn't there any more}}).
