Animorphs
This page contains SPOILERS for the whole series.
All the contradictions within the series are due to Loren using the Time Matrix
When Loren used the Time Matrix to return Elfangor and herself to their own universe, she specified that everyone would remember her being older. Because of this, instead of returning them to their original universe, it created a copy and sent them there. Since it isn't the "true" universe, Cassie's existence causes "glitches". Since no one notices these glitches In-Universe, we must assume that Loren is better at creating universes then Crayak.
KA Applegate is a genius.
Is deconstructing about five-hundred billion idealist tropes in a way that does not make us hate her not genius?
At least some, and possibly all of the characters are Unreliable Narrators
This explains every contradiction in the series.
Tobias became a Nothlit on purpose.
His home life sucked, he had no friends, literally no one cared about the guy, and compared to going back to all of that, the idea of flying all day was just too magical to give up. The merciless reality of the wild didn't set in till he actually had to face it firsthand. Corroborated by the way he spends every single moment he can as a hawk all throughout The Invasion, deliberately using the form as an escape, and in a later book, he refers to the moment he was trapped as a "choice."
The Yeerks were forced off Earth after #1 The Invasion, explaining every contradiction
The invasion of the Yeerk Pool was actually a resounding success, and they destroyed the Kandrona then and there. Afterwards the Yeerks left, and were killed by the Andalites, who were not the jackasses the series makes them out to be. Jake decides to write a book about his experiences. However, the other Animorphs found it, made some changes to it, and wrote sequels. THIS explains all the inconsistencies and extreme coincidences. It is simply a work of fiction for the most part.
The Helmacrons are related to the Generations
Corporate and fungible sound like different terms for the same thing.
Helmacrons are Generations.
The Ellimist never mentions how big Generations are. The Helmacron's "take over the universe" personality could be the result of a charismatic Generation/Helmacron convincing several others that they were destined to rule the universe and then their "infecting" the entire species when they died.
The Skrit Na have the most advanced technology in the universe.
They simply use weaker technology when they visit other planets so that the other people in the universe won't try to steal their technology. Furthermore, they've implemented technology to ensure that the Time Matrix can't be used against them; hence, they took it to the Taxxon world rather then back to their home planet.
The unknown ship from the last book was a Space Hulk from Warhammer40000. Furthermore, the One is a daemon.
The beings that caused Jake's dream in #41 The Familiar played a large role in the series.
Some of their other actions:
Erek and the Chee brought the Time Matrix to Earth.
The Ellimist created both the Time Matrix and the Pemalites. The Pemalites created the Chee. The Skrit Na finding the Time Matrix is the catalyst to Elfangor and Loren's adventure, which is the catalyst to Visser Three and Elfangor's rivalry, which ends in Elfangor creating the Animorphs. Obviously, the Ellimist wanted all of this to happen. He had his "grand-creations" bring the all-important Time Matrix to Earth and set the whole mess in motion. The clincher? The Time Matrix was found beneath a pyramid, and Erek mentions helping build them soon after arriving on Earth.
Elfangor and Aldrea (and, by extension, Tobias and Toby) are descended from the Ellimist.
The Ellimist spent time as an Andalite and had Andalite children. Somewhere waaaaaay back in Elfangor and Aldrea's family histories are one of those kids. This is why the Ellimist is so interested in Elfangor and Tobias, and why he brought Toby into his master plans.
Rachel doesn't die; she is saved by Crayak, who erases her memories and uses her as a minion, sort of like the Drode.
Crayak and the Drode were showing way too much interest in her potential to let her disappear.
This might be part of an agreement with the Ellimist - conveniently, Rachel only dies once the war is won. Crayak and the Ellimist had struck a deal where the Ellimist could keep her as one of his pawns for the duration of the war against the Yeerks, and then Crayak could get her. (Her choice in #7 should have removed her from the front lines of the war.)
Rachel becomes a servant of the Ellimist.
She's already openly rejected Crayak's offers; it was a moot point by #48 when she realized that no power he could give her was worth the price of her soul. But notice how she only dies when the war is over. She was an important servant of the Ellimist during the war. Once she died, he was able to bring her in on the game. Crayak has the Drode, so we know they can have direct servants. And Ellimist made a point of comforting her and explaining to her why things are the way they are, explaining the secrets to her at last.
It's likely that, when she died, Ellimist would take her into their higher dimension and make her one of his ambassadors. This would mean that she still exists. Therefore, since the war is threatening to erupt anew, she may have reason to assist the remaining Animorphs.
All the extremely unlikely events that worked in the Animorphs' favor were moves made by the Ellimist in his game against Crayak
This includes the time travel incident that warned Jake against stealing the bug fighter, the morphing cube surviving the destruction of Elfangor's ship, and their mass in z-space being snagged by an Andalite ship.
The Ellimist put the morphing cube in Elfangor's ship
Why would he be carrying the Escafil device around in his personal fighter? The Ellimist simply popped one into being after Elfangor staggered out of his ship, having already cleared the Animorphs' creation with Crayak (as implied in Back to Before).
Elfangor suddenly realized that he could give morphing to the humans because the Ellimist just zapped his head with that knowledge, in the same way Tobias suddenly knew about the would-be Hork-Bajir valley in The Change. Let's face it, the guy usually operates via Dei Ex Machina.
The Gardens is Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo, California
(Now known as "Six Flags Discovery Kingdom".)
Think about it: It's been revealed that the series takes place in California somewhere. Both The Gardens and Marine World combine elements of a theme park, a water park, a zoo, and an oceanarium. No other park in California (or the West Coast) is like that.
A morpher's mind goes to Z-space with his or her original body and controls the morphed body remotely.
It's like Neon Genesis Evangelion's EVAs. At one hour, there is 100% synchronization, and the mind is equally split between the original, grounding body and the morphed, controlled body. At two hours, when synchronization hits 200%, the mind is more used to the morphed form than the original form, and it can't go back and switch the bodies at the same time. A nothlit cannot regain the morphing power because the natural link to his or her own body has been severed; the artificial link to the morphed body is not strong enough to handle the morphing process.
That time the animorphs got stuck in z-space had nothing to do with the size they tried morphing. It was because of the lack of a proper mental link.
Time spent in morph counts toward how hungry the original body is, but not vice versa, because the original body is kept intact while the morphs are made from and returned to the nothing in z-space.
The One was the being that caused Jake's hallucination in The Familiar, hoping to study humans before he had to fight them directly.
Furthermore, The One is also the being that forced Crayak out of his own galaxy before he met the Ellimist.
The Yeerks are the victims in the series, the Andalites are the bad guys, and the Animorphs (for the most part) are pawns who do what Andalites tell them.
It is incredibly important to note that a Yeerk taking a host is a natural function. Humans kill animals to eat; the human thrives at the expense of the animal. This is not good, but it is natural. Similarly, Yeerks take hosts - they benefit at the expense of the host body. This is not good, but it is natural. To expect Yeerks to not take bodies is akin to expecting humans to not eat meat — it can be arranged, but it will cause discomfort and difficulties, especially if they are breaking an established habit.
One must note that while Yeerks themselves are
There is no Crayak.
The Ellimist's experiences with Father are enough to drive anyone off the deep end. After he defeats Father, he absorbed dozens, if not hundreds, of minds. He had more knowledge than anyone was ever meant to have, and he explicitly mentioned the sensory overload and impulses to move body parts he didn't have.
All of this, combined with the millenia he spent wandering alone, drove him crazy. And then the Crayak shows up, an opponent who is always strong enough to challenge him and to drive him to greater achievements, but never quite good enough to defeat him.
The Crayak is a split personality the Ellimist unknowingly created to give himself purpose in what would otherwise have been a long, lonely life.
Crayak is Tyler Durden.
See above.
K.A. Applegate is a Controller.
The Yeerks do exist, and she wrote the books to ensure that no one would believe anyone who told them that the world was being invaded by alien slugs.
Everybody on TV Tropes is a controller.
TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life, after all. Glory to the Empire.
Marco has an Oedipus complex.
Which explains why he describes his mom the way that he does.
Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas is the theme song of Tobias
Just listen to it.
Visser Four from #18 The Decision and Megamorphs #3 is Visser Two from #46 The Deception
Ok, bear with me for a moment. First of all, Visser Two is unlikely to be the "missing" visser from the earlier books because he's fiercely loyal to Visser One (that is, Esplin 9466, formerly Visser Three) and it would be extremely out of character for a Yeerk Visser to show so much loyalty to someone promoted ahead of them like that. So it stands to reason that Visser Two was a lower ranking visser who got promoted at the same time as Visser Three. In #18 a Leeran controller mentions that Vissers Three and Four are very good friends. Visser Two doesn't remember the events of Megamorphs #3 because that timeline was erased, and the Animorphs don't recognise him because he has a different rank and host.
Everything in the book, from Yeerks to Andalites, are real. The world is currently being controlled by Yeerks
K.A. Applegate is warning us.
World leaders who don't appear to care about the environment are trying to make things worse for the Yeerks.
If the environment is hostile to us, then it'll be even more hostile to the Yeerks when they take over.
Then again, if the world leaders cared, then they would just start a nuclear war.
The Ellimist is the G-Man, or vice-versa
The Ellimist's ability to stop time - and his use of it to deliver exposition and orders to the heroes - is suspiciously similar to everybody's favorite briefcase-carrying Chessmaster. Even their MOs are the same, using carefully-placed pawns to fight "evil". Both of them appear as ordinary humans, but there is almost always something not quite right with them. Sure, the Ellimist is, on the surface, kinder, but he doesn't have the strictly-professional Doctor Freeman to work with, he has a bunch of teenagers. Brings up the question of what Crayak is doing, though...
Someone (Crayak? The One?) created the Yeerks.
Think about it: how the hell could they have evolved naturally? Did the local animals fall head-first into a pool every ten minutes? Even if they did, what advantage would there have been to traveling that way before they evolved their control abilities? The abilities couldn't have come first, there would be no point.
Crayak is the good guy and the Ellimist is the bad guy
The Crayak wanted the Iskoort destroyed so the Yeerks (his chosen race) would never submit to the tyranny of the Andalites (the Ellimist's chosen race). The andalites have proven ruthless and manipulative, and the Crayak wanted to prevent the militial destruction of Earth, under the guise of "defending the universe's sentient races." The yeerks couldn't try to find a paceful alternative, because the moment they did, the andalites would decimate them in order to rule the cosmos. Which is also why the andalites get involved in conflicts: to get rid of any race that may interfere with their universal monopoly. All along, the Crakay has been trying to destroy races with potential for aggression. Since the Ellimist engineered the andalites, the crayak couldn't touch them, so instead made the yeerks develop into what would eventually threaten the andalites' control. The ellimist used time-shifting and elfangor to construct a team of wildcards to ensure the andalite race's dominance in the universe. Also, the Kelbrid are fairy tales imposed by the high command to make them seem to be peacemakers.
Some selfish-gene speculations about Yeerk evolution
The first datum to explain is that the Yeerks obviously have a very strong drive for individual status. The second point is that they have a very un-individualistic means of reproduction: the individual Yeerks who reproduce die in the process, and produce hundreds of offspring at a time. The third point to remember is that Visser Three and the other high-status Yeerks live a long time without ever reproducing: The Hork-Bajir Chronicles implies that Visser Three is one of the oldest Yeerks alive today, and he is about forty years old. Which may not sound that old, but remember that most animals on Earth have a far shorter life expectancy than that—especially animals with the size and fecundity of the Yeerks.
Anytime the species produces hundreds of offspring for every three parents, it has to be the case that only a few individuals are the lucky ones who get to have distant descendants. It's also the case that only a small minority of Yeerks get to control a host species, and most of them don't.
Now, the thing to keep clear is that the drive to infest a host and climb the status hierarchy wouldn't be there if it weren't helpful in a strategy to be one of the Yeerks who does reproduce (possibly an unconscious strategy rather than one deliberately pursued). The desire to have a powerful position and a strong host seems obvious to humans and also to Yeerks, but the Yeerks would only evolve to be motivated this way if it helps them reproduce. If the best way to reproduce were to just be hanging around the Yeerk pool at the right time, then evolution would favor the Yeerks who spent all their time in the Yeerk pool, and not exploring the world in a Gedd body. And this is so even though it's presumably beneficial to the group to have plenty of Yeerks with host bodies, who can do far more things in the world than a mere unhosted Yeerk.
From here it's obvious that the Yeerks in hosts must be the same ones who reproduce. It's most likely that the actual process of reproduction uses nutrients that are only available to the Yeerks who have a Gedd host. And in fact, if the Yeerks with hosts have these fierce competitions with each other, it's likely that it even matters which Gedd they live in, that a Yeerk may need to be living in one of the best Gedds before it has a chance of reproducing properly.
So that's the ancestral environment that Yeerks evolved for: a world with Gedd hosts that are needed for reproduction, and apparently no other useful hosts. On the other hand, things are different today, with all the other host species. And it certainly doesn't seem that the highest-status Yeerks today, the Council of Thirteen and the Vissers, are the ones who reproduce. They also have their choice of host bodies, and they choose to inhabit one of their strong host races rather than a Gedd. Just as some men would rather pursue status and become Pope, even though they will have no descendants that way; so most Yeerks would rather pursue status and become a Visser, live in a powerful Hork-Bajir (or human, or Andalite) host body, and still leave no descendants. Their status-seeking instincts tell them that the stronger host bodies are the best ones to live in, and the Gedds are much weaker than most other host bodies. But in terms of reproductive activity, the Yeerks who live in an actual Gedd are the ones who reproduce, and so in the Yeerk Empire today, there is no longer a correlation between very high status and reproductive success. (But the Yeerks who live in a Gedd are still higher-status than the unhosted Yeerks, and probably higher than certain other low-status species in the Empire. Also, it's likely that high respect is attached to reproduction itself even though it obliterates the individual identity of the Yeerks who participate in it.)
So that's the situation with the Yeerks: The life story of an evolutionarily successful Yeerk would be to infest a Gedd, reproduce, and probably take only five or six years at most to do so. But the successful Yeerks today, like all of the Yeerks who the Animorphs meet, are the ones who win the competition for a powerful host like a Hork-Bajir or human; and their life doesn't end after five or six years since they're not reproducing, it's the Yeerks who were inhabiting a Gedd. It kind of explains a lot about the perverse cultural values we see in Visser, where the Yeerk Empire is fanatically focused on power and Visser One is on a trial in which her worst offense was being a loving mother. This is also why Aftran explains the Yeerk reproductive cycle as if even she finds it paradoxical and embarrassing, and she didn't address the question of which Yeerks it is who reproduce—although from an evolutionary standpoint, this is a very important question. It's also rather surprising that the Yeerks the Animorphs never actually meet any Gedds and hardly ever even have to think about them, until you consider how the Gedds must occupy an unusual position in any species that naturally evolved to have a close relationship with the Gedds, but is exploring the artificial possibilities of infesting all kinds of other species.
Crayak or the Ellimist created the taxxons as a joke
It would be an understatement to say that the taxxons kinda suck. While they are immensely intelligent and evidently very good pilots, the simple fact is, they're giant fluid-filled condoms that will break into a feeding frenzy at the sight of blood. In other words, you have a creature whose fragility is virtually a running gag, and who'll completely wig out and cannibalize one another, or even themselves given the slightest suggestion of a chance.
At a lesser scale, this wouldn't be so bad. We're physically unimpressive, but good with technology, even though our brains can make us do silly things. But consider a human controller, like Tom. He sees his family constantly, knowing the yeerks are going to get them, but his yeerk maintains perfect control of him at all times.
A taxxon controller, aboard the Blade Ship with Visser Three no less, sees the animorphs and gets cut in half for his trouble. Rather than say something, it immediately sees its blood-soaked ass sitting in front of it, and starts chowing down.
So we have a species of bulbous, fluid-filled condoms that could probably be busted open by harsh language, who have a feeding instinct apparently greater than self preservation, or the preservation of one's loved ones, and is triggered by blood.
Imagine what taxxon controllers go through. Imagine one of their coworkers getting a papercut. For the love of Crayak, they're water balloons perched atop dozens of little needles!
I cannot see natural selection favoring these guys under any circumstances. And we've already established that the Ellimist and Crayak have both created life forms that they like(Ellimist has the pemalites, Crayak has the Howlers). Is it a stretch to say that Crayak created the taxxons for the sheer audacity of it?
The One is the monster of the same name from "Ultraman: The Next"
Both are aliens, both are shapeshifters, both assimilate other organisms in order to alter their form, both are, you know, called "The One".
Naturally, we can also conclude that the series ends with Ultraman swooping in to save the day.
Stephenie Meyer's Novel 'The Host' takes place in an alternate universe of Animorphs.
Bear with me here for a minute. The very first moment I started reading The Host, the description of the aliens that control your body made my mind jump to Yeerks. It's an alternate universe where the Yeerks took over Earth so quickly that the Animorphs never had a chance, and were either killed or turned into Hosts themselves.
'The Host' by Stephenie Meyer is actually a piece of Yeerk fanfiction.
A lonely Yeerk that infested a human teenager learned about the concept of fanfiction, and subsequently used the host body to write a story where the Yeerk invasion went much more smoothly - no pesky Andalite bandits - and where the Yeerks themselves weren't ugly slugs, but beautiful, feathery creatures called Souls. When the Yeerks surrendered, the human host found the story on her computer and decided to publish it as a piece of "original" fiction. This human was....Stephenie Meyer.
No ideas about the sparkly vampires, though.
Just an observation...
The Fictional Counterpart for America Online (AOL) is Web Access Amercia. Is it any wonder that its initials are WAA?
Rachel becomes The One becomes Crayak
I don't know why I decided this but it actually fits in some ways. We never actually see what happens to her. Her death is kind of implied but... and she was on the Bladeship which Ax was after when he got taken over. It shows an assimilation simuler to the type the Ellimist went through in his book. Kay maby other characters would work better. Crayak has an interest in Rachel out of all the Animorphs.
The alternate future in #7 is caused by Jake's infestation in an altered timeline
The future shown in The Stranger happens because in an alternate timeline, the Animorphs did not rescue Ax, but Jake was still infested at the hospital in #6. If Ax had not been with them at the hospital, nobody would have noticed Jake was a Controller and he could have easily turned them over to Visser Three. This also explains why future-Rachel was confused by Ax's presence.
How Aftran 942 got back into the Yeerk Pool at the end of #19
You might wonder how Karen got out of the Yeerk Pool complex/cave without Aftran. Here's how I think they did it: Aftran/Karen runs of away from the Animorphs after they let her go. (This is after Cassie has been "trapped" as a caterpillar.) She runs off to the State police-Controllers, and says she lost track of the Andalite Bandits, but she's safe now. Aftran doesn't tell Yaheen 747 and the others what she knows, as part of Cassie's peace treaty. The next time Aftran and Karen go to the Yeerk Pool, Aftran gives her instructions. At the unloading pier, she tells the Hork-Bajir-Controller guard there that Karen is a voluntary host (now?) and has permission to go to the cafeteria (or wherever). Aftran instructs Karen to wait in the café for a few minutes, and then walk out as if she's a Controller. This is how Karen gets away free while Aftran stays in the pool as per her promise to Cassie.
Father and the Yeerks are somehow related evolutionarily.
The Ellimist Uplifted the Andalites.
Upon reading The Ellimist Chronicles, I wasn't under the impression that the Ellimist actually gave the Andalites any technology. He instead just planted the seeds of intelligence in them. With their physically capable bodies, there would have been no reason to for Andalites to evolve intelligence, unlike humans with our physically weak bodies compared to other Earth animals.
The Pemalites are the race that uplifted humans in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Tobias is a comment on the [[Main/Otherkin Otherkin subculture from before most people knew Otherkin were a thing!]]
We are not suggesting that Applegate was psychic or anything but consider. A whiny Emo teen with an awful home life and no real friends inside the body of a beautiful predatory creature with wings and shapeshifting powers? Yeah.
The Ellimist sympathizes with humanity.
Visser One described the human mind as constantly in conflict with itself, arguing, doubting. Sounds a bit like the Society of Mind
David is a sociopath, Visser Three has Intermittent Explosive Personality Disorder.
There's enough evidence in the trilogy to show that David only thinks about himself and violates the rights of others, refuses to take responsibility for his actions and rationalizes them ("Murder is one animal killing another", "I'm going to kill you before you can kill me"), is incapable of maintaining serious relationships, is extremely easy to frustrate and anger, has problems with impulse control, does not conform to societal moral norms (such as laws against stealing), is consistently deceitful, does not express guilt, is egomaniacal and takes what is described as a "sick pleasure" in manipulating others. His animal abuse is further proof. All this remains true even in his return in #48, wherein his actions are mostly an act to gain Rachel's sympathy in order to manipulate her for his own benefit "Intermittent Explosive Disorder (abbreviated IED) is a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme expressions of anger, often to the point of uncontrollable rage, that are disproportionate to the situation at hand." Nuff said. I'm also fairly sure Rachel has some sort of psychiatric issue but I don't know of a medical term for a disorder characterized by a psychological addiction to stress and adrenaline.
The Andalite-Yeerk War was a long bet by the Ellimist, who was attempting to create an Andalite-Yeerk-Human military alliance to prepare for the upcoming Kelbrid war, which is the next phase in his game against Crayak.
The common humanity, so to speak, shared between Yeerks, Andalites and humans is repeatedly emphasized (Hork-Bajir, less so), as is the possibility of artificial, non-living host bodies. The massive faction of Yeerks left on Earth after the war, combined with the new treaty, implies an eventual assimilation of all three cultures. The uprising against the Andalites on the Yeerk homeworld shown in The Hork-Bajir Chronicles was simply, in the end, a way for the Ellimist to get all three species together and hash out their differences in time to confront a new and (if The One is any indication) massively more inhuman and dangerous threat.
After the war, the Hork-Bajir become a Proud Warrior Race Guy culture.
In The Hork-Bajir Chronicles, Hork-Bajir culture is so pacifistic that the idea of violence hasn't even occurred to them yet. Over the course of the book much is made of how Dak Hamee's birth - the coming of a "seer" - heralds the rejection of old Hork-Bajir values, in this case, for the purposes of survival against the Yeerks.
Ultimately, as we all know, the Hork-Bajir homeworld was sterilized by the Andalites and the majority of the Hork-Bajir species were killed by a virus. So after the war on Earth, you either have a) Hork-Bajir who have been born and raised as guerrilla soldiers, living in hiding or b) Hork-Bajir who have been born and raised by Yeerks for the sole purpose of combat. The end result is a Hork-Bajir population that doesn't really know much about anything except for fighting. I imagine a "you-looking-at-me" attitude similar to Israel, where the ability to fight is promoted for the purposes of avoiding another Hork-Bajir tragedy in the future. Doubly possible considering the Hork-Bajir refugees on Earth are regularly targeted by terrorists.
Tobias didn't actually change anything by disabling the Mercora bomb, apart from the impact location
If the mercora had successfully deflected the comet, it would move into an orbit that would intercept Earth again in a few months, a few years, or so. By that time, the Mercora would have been so busy with something (Nesk perhaps), and would not be able to deflect the comet a second time. Any butterfly effects end up suppressed, with nothing different about human origins, earth history ,etc. However, the Mercora's unsuccessful deflection changes the impact site of the comet, moving it to a harder to discover spot on the planet, leaving scientists much more confused about dinosaur extinction in modern times without an obvious potential impact site.
Tobias and Ax genocided the Mercora based on faulty logic.
They based their decision on the lack of fossil evidence of the Mercora, but by inference they lived on what is now the Yucatan peninsula, which due to its geology and climate is very unfriendly to fossils and their recovery. A promise to limit themselves to their colony and leave when they were back on their feet may well have done the trick anyway.
The city the series takes place in is Bahia Bay
It fits. Located in California, contains a convenient mall, beach, amusement park, is within driving distance of mountains/desert, etc.
The events of Book 48 led to the Yeerks figuring out the Animorphs were human in Book 49.
It didn't seem like there was ever any explanation as to how the Yeerks suddenly knew, other than some speculation about them always leaving blood behind at battles. When Rachel scares off the two thugs working for David, she's concerned that they'll tell their story where a Controller will hear, and the Yeerks will find David and get information from him. This is why she decides that she has to do something about David (what this something is, of course, is left ambiguous). However, she doesn't seem to do anything about, or even mention, the fact that their story also includes a girl who can turn into a rat and a bear, with nary a mention of freaky blue centaurs. Also, while she says there's no threat of Visser One recognizing Super-Rachel as one of the Andalite bandits, it's possible that his encounter with her could make him more open to the possibility that the bandits are human, at least subconsciously.
The alternate dimension in #41 was the Crayak/Ellimist
I personally don't see why the Crayak or Ellimist can't disguise their voices, and pretend that they're some other god-like being.
"The One" was actually Satan himself.
Not only would it be an awesome moment of Faux Symbolism, it would also explain his ability to "assimilate" others and transform their bodies.
