I actually didn’t remember that this was the first appearance of the ellimist, I thought that happened later.

Once I realized it, I remembered his very clever way of helping the animorphs out.

But I think what actually sticks with me is them morphing into cockroaches, because I grew up in a humid tropical land of cockroaches and hated them as much as I could hate anything at that age.

I’m pretty sure reading that description of morphing, I was grimacing and shuddering in disgust the entire time.
