* UnskilledButStrong: It's mentioned that Tom might have a natural talent for morphing, but he doesn't ''think'' he's that good at it because he hasn't has as much practice as the Animorphs.

* StockholmSyndrome: He claims to have this. In ''These Are the Damned'', he says while drunk that being a Controller made him feel like his place in the world was to be obedient so the Yeerks wouldn't hurt him. In ''Total Recall'', he slips up and calls himself "property", then blames it on this.

* TechnicalPacifist: Whenever he fights morph-capable opponents, his main plan of attack is to bite them in king cobra morph and hope they demorph before the venom kills them.

* SuicidalOverconfidence: Apparently wanted to conquer the Kelbrid, a warrior race so mysterious that the Andalites don't know what they look like, with a single Blade ship.

Added DiffLines:

* TerminalTransformation: After Margaret White is found guilty of murdering the voluntary hosts, she commits suicide by morphing into a fish in the courtroom. By the time someone brings her water, she's already dead (and given that she picked a salt-water fish, it wouldn't have done any good anyway).

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the books, Tom and his Yeerk were both killed while in cobra morph when Rachel bit him in half. In ''The Day the Earth Stood Still'', Rachel slams into him while he's in human form; Essa 412 escapes from his cracked skull, giving Tom ''just'' enough time to morph into a cobra before he bleeds to death, then he injects Essa with a more-than-lethal dose of venom.
* KickTheDog: Tom recalls several times that Essa 412 was excessively cruel to him, from taunting him with the idea that Jake was going to die of a drug overdose, to snapping a child's neck because his singing made Tom and the other hosts feel hopeful.

* PowerIncontinence: In ''How I Live Now'', she morphs into a Yeerk and infests Tom. Since she's not used to mind-controlling, she accidentally opens too many of his memories as soon as she connects to his brain.

* PosthumousCharacter: {{Subverted}}. We're led to assume she died the same way as in canon, and her absence looms over the characters... but then ''How I Live Now'' reveals she's alive.



* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: [[spoiler:She was not killed by Efflit 1318, who infested her instead, and forced its original host to morph into her and get ThrownOutTheAirlock to fake a body for her]].
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:''How I Live Now'' reveals that she was alive as a controller all along.]]
