You can see some interesting stuff with the Yeerks in regards to gender as well - they don't appear to have one, biologically, but they often seem to acquire a gender from their hosts (or at the very least, other people refer to them as having a gender)
...maybe "Animorphs and the performance of gender" should be another topic dear god why did I not get back into this series until after I finished studying English and Literature IT IS A GOLDMINE DAMMIT
And memory's a funny thing - there are studies that show how people can remember stuff that never actually happened. Why not with fiction?
