Character Discussion: Elfangor

[buffyangellvr23.livejournal.com]

I don't think I got him yet. We only saw a little of him in book one, plus the special books had him. Andalite Chronicles especially. I sometimes wish the group had gotten a chance to know him better, that he'd been around longer, and not just because of Tobias.

Did it ever say he couldn't morph? I thought that was just a plot hole.

Ahh, true. The Andalites really didn't go around acquiring battle morphs, did they? That always seems odd. It seems like the Andalites would go for every weapon they could possibly use. I guess it just didn't occur to them? . . . but then why would it occur to Visser Three, who is not that bright by the time the series proper starts?

Didn't he at the end of TAC?

Andalites seem pretty proud of their natural bodies, but yeah. Kind of never explained why they morphed so little.

I always assumed it was an Andalite ego thing

In that instance I thought Elfangor was out of the energy to morph. The kids always talk about how exhausting it is to morph frequently. He knew he was dying, and knew it was more important to record his hirac delest and give the kids the cube.
