''My name is...''

[[File:anrachel 1627.gif|frame]]

 

* [[You Dirty Rat]]: A heroic example. She and Cassie morph rats in ''The Secret'' and it's her cover morph in ''The Solution''.

 

[[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.}}

* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: With Jake at the start of the series.

 

[[File:anmarco 4572.gif|frame]]

 

* [[This Is Gonna Suck]]: It's pretty much his job to say this.

 

[[File:anax 1303.gif|frame]]

 

* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]

 

 

{{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.''}}

* [[You Dirty Rat]]

 

 

{{quote|''We trusted them and they did us proud.''}}

== Yeerk Empire ==

 

[[File:anvisserthree 6172.gif|frame]]

 

* [[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.

 

 

{{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.''}}

* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: In stark contrast to [[0% Approval Rating|Visser Three]].

 

 

{{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.''}}

* [[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.

 

 

{{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.''}}

* [[Villain of the Week]]: In ''The Warning''.

 

 

{{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.''}}

* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: She gives Cassie a few in ''The Departure''.

 

 

{{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?''}}

* [[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.

 

 

{{quote|''Join me in my madness, Andalite.''}}

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Tobias almost [[Heroic BSOD|shuts down]] when he runs into her again in ''The Test''.

 

 

{{quote|''That's where this thing belonged. In a cartoon. Where the impossible is possible.''}}

* [[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.

 

 

{{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.''}}

== Andalites ==

 

[[File:anelfangor 6039.gif|frame]]

 

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: It's revealed in ''The Pretender'' that Visser Three eventually came to regard him this way.

 

 

{{quote|''''Aristh''...I mean, ''Warrior'' Arbron is a casualty of war.''}}

* [[Telepathic Spacemen]]

 

[[File:anvisserthree 6172.gif|frame]]

 

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]

 

 

{{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!''}}

* [[Telepathic Spacemen]]

 

 

{{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.''}}

 

== The Higher Powers ==

 

[[File:anellimist 1531.gif|frame]]

* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]]

 

 

{{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?''}}

* [[Talking in Your Dreams]]: He appears to both Jake and Rachel in dreams.

 

 

{{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.''}}

* [[Wild Card]]: See above. His name literally means wild card.

 

 

{{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.''}}

== Everyone Else ==

 

 

{{quote|''This will be a meeting of allies, Marco. You see, we, too, fight the Yeerks.''}}

* [[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."

 

 

{{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.''}}

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: She's curiously absent from the last book.

 

 

{{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.''}}

* [[Younger Than They Look]]: During the events of the series she is only a year or two old.

 

 

{{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.''}}

* [[Wicked Cultured]]

 

 

{{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.''}}
