However, this is complicated by the the fact that Rachel is allergic to a recently-acquired crocodile morph, and said allergy is causing her to morph uncontrollably. Oddly enough, when this was adapted for the TV Show, this was changed into a plot focusing on Cassie instead.

Engaging in Sadistic Choice games with Ellimist was Crayak's *goal* at the time, he wasn't *trying* to kill him then, because for all his power he wasn't yet a threat to Crayak, and he had no way of forseeing the events that would lead to Ellimist changing his strategy and getting the upper hand.
