The entirety of Book 12.5, The Andalite Chronicles (Prologue - Ch. 49), for Animorphs Aloud. Thanks for listening! Summary: Everything began for the Animorphs the night when a dying Elfangor gave them the power to morph. But where did Elfangor's story begin? A story of courage and failure, of destiny and choice, this is Elfangor's Journey, Alloran's Choice, and An Alien Dies, the three parts of The Andalite Chronicles. Don't forget to support the official audiobooks! MacLeod Andrews does an especially good job with this one! The next book in the series will be a couple days delayed, just because I admit I'm tuckered after fifteen straight months of posting! But I've already started recording it, I just need a mini-vacation to rest my eyes, mind, and fingers. :D If you want to hear more of my audiobooks, find me at the links below: Twitter: @RenatheReader Blue Sky: @renagail.bsky.social Audible: https://www.audible.com/search?searchNarrator=Rena+Gail Website: RenaGail.com
We finally finished the Andalite Chronicles! In this supersized episode, Elfangor goes to college, Loren ages rapidly to a narratively convenient age, and we finally learn the extraordinary origin of a beloved character: Hedrick Chapman!! If the Yeerk invasion is just starting in the 80s, why isn't it further along in the main series books? Who is this cosmic force of evil that the Ellimist reveals to Elfangor just before returning him to the Andalites? And what exactly is Elfangor implying when he claims to have found ways of absorbing several DNA patterns in order to create his human morph? Is he having lots of casual sex? Did he just enroll in a square-dancing class?Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to anidorkspod@gmail.comHey!

In which Loren introduces Elfy to her mother and we find ourselves confounded by conspiracy after conspiracy. Why does Elfangor insist on pretending that he has never encountered cloth, taste, or roads? Why does he not run into a single figure from his past in this pocket universe when Loren's sector is so crowded? Do Andalites have nipples?

We're in the home stretch of Andalite Chronicles! The only way for Elfy and friends to escape a very perilous situation in space is to finally use the Time Matrix. Is Elfangor blaming himself a little too much? Will the Animorphs ever acquire a living asteroid morph? And is Elfangor's central dilemma in these books that he wants to hold the very hand that he also desperately wants to slice off?Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter!

Chapter 16 of The Andalite Chronicles, part 12.5 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. This is the end of Part 1, Elfangor's Journey! This book was originally published in three parts, each released a month apart, before being combined into a single book. Thankfully, you guys don't have to wait that long!

We found out who Visser Four is. And he has found the Time Matrix. The machine Elfangor had hidden in the abandoned construction site. The same place we met him on a night none of us will ever forget. Especially me. Now Visser Four has the Matrix, and he plans to use it to become Visser One. But Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Marco, Ax and I can't let that happen. We can't let him alter time so that the Yeerks will win the invasion. So we're prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice. And, ultimately one of us will lose this fight... -- Audiomorphs is an Animorphs podcast which is actually not so much a podcast as a bootleg Animorphs audiobook. Releases every Friday.

We finally conclude the second part of Andalite Chronicles with a big showdown involving Elfangor, Loren, Visser 3(2), and... living asteroids? Does every Visser have their own blade shape, and how did Visser 32 receive one so quickly after his promotion? Is Andalite space travel going to be forever changed by the discovery of these living asteroids? And how can Elfangor say that he does not believe in psychic things when his primary means of communication is telepathic?

In which Elfangor learns a little bit too much about Team Andalite and our favorite Visser finally becomes himself. Is Chapman to the Yeerks what Arbron is to the Living Hive? Do these book think Alloran is one bad egg or that the entire Andalite system is the problem? And why is Sub-Visser 7 finally infesting Alloran so goddamn satisfying?

Elfangor learns that Arbron has been indoctrinated into a cult, experiences the joys of Taxxon mass transit, and drives a Mustang to the frontline of a revolution. Is the Living Hive the Taxxon planet's version of Earth's Great Ones (aka whales)? How did Arbron manage to undergo an entire series' worth of emotional growth in fifteen minutes?

Elfangor had a midlife crisis in the middle of a Taxxon desert and stumbles into the stuff of Anidorks dreams. Miranda theorizes that the Time Ship made an appearance in the very first scene of this series, Chris can't tell if Elfangor driving a Mustang is silly or stupid, and Eddy could not solve a riddle if his life depended on it.Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter!

Elfangor and Arbron take flight in a Skrit Na ship! That leads to a fun podracing interlude, but also things get a bit heavy. Is Elfangor so prejudiced against Taxxons that he no longer recognizes his friend Arbron? What does Taxxon hunger tell us about KA Applegate's hatred of swarms? Does history contain all of the secrets we seek, or is that just the Ellimist? Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter!

We dig into Andalite bigotry, their general condescension towards the rest of the universe, and wonder when we'll finally meet a character critical of the Andalites who isn't an asshole. Is it possible that we like Chapman better once he's Yeerked? Will Alloran's wife be detectable by Taxxon scanners? Did Arbron and Elfangor make out?

Andalite Chronicles might seem like an indie meet-cute about Elfangor and Loren, but maybe it's actually about Elfangor meeting Alloran. Are Loren and Chapman prisoners of the Andalites, or just unhappy guests? Can an Andalite harmonize with themself through their four hooves?

We are finally reading The Andalite Chronicles and we can't stop talking about it!! Is this the first necessary prologue we've read in the series? Did Loren frolic in a Dome Ship with Elfangor so Natalie Portman could change Zach Braff's life in Garden State? If you keep a Time Matrix on a Time Ship, do you park the Time Ship in a Time Garage?

David is back with the next Animorphs and... let's just say we hope you're ready. Time is definitely not on the kids' side as they discover just how far they'll go to make things right. But be careful... Not everyone can make it through something as dangerous as this.
The harrowing tale continues this week in The Andalite Chronicles! Elfangor is trapped alone on the Taxxon homeworld, his friends and allies nowhere to be seen. Plus he tries Dr. Pepper! (not sponsored by Dr. Pepper) So pop open a cool, refreshing Dr. Pepper and enjoy this week's tale!
It's finally time for the story of Elfangor, the Andalite who started it all! Join David and Michael on the first part of what turned out to be a much longer story than we thought! Space politics, laser battles, and jerk dudes collide in this harrowing tale!

The blue box Elfangor used to create the Animorphs has been found by a kid named David. David has no idea what he has -- or what it can do. But Marco does. And when he sees David with it, he knows the Animorphs have to get that box. At any cost. But what should have been a simple plan ends up going horribly wrong. And David is on the run with the Animorphs and Ax. Now they have only two choices: turn David over to the Yeerks. Or make him the sixth Animorph. -- Audiomorphs is an Animorphs podcast which is actually not so much a podcast as a bootleg Animorphs audiobook. Releases every Friday.

This speak: Our story begins on an alternate, time-tinkered Earth with an entirely different set of Animorphs. Jake is an authoritarian leader. Cassie is a slave owner. Marco is excited by Pong. Ax is the same. And Tobias is in love with the last Animorph, Melissa. This new, more interesting set of characters are swiftly replaced by the standard Animorphs we all know and love, thanks to a convenient truce between Crayak and Ellimist. Now the Animorphs (and Aximili!) are thrust through time on their latest mission to stop one of the second-string villains from messing around with the Earth's continuity. During their trip, the Animorphs (and Mr. Isthill!) will encounter ancient knights, swashbuckling seafaring ship battles, and absolutely all the worst of human-on-human murder that history has to offer! Will our heroes conquer the evil Yeerk empire and restore balance to the Force?

The Ellimist is back and not a single person is surprised (except Elfangor)
Animorphs: Megamorphs #3: Elfangor's Secret by K.A. Applegate by Anna and Em
The Morphy Boys are back to finish the story. More war ethics. Can you find purpose in life after war has destroyed you? Can you find meaning in life after being suicidal? Arbron has. He goes from wanting his friend to kill him to wanting to die in a war he knows he can’t win. Lol owned. An andalite gets yeerkbrained. Lol double owned. Elfangor and Loren keep tying up Chapman after he continues to sell out the human race. Elfangor, Loren, and Visser 3 use The Time Egg. The Morphy Boys debate what it would be like to have sexual relations with dinosaurs. We’d smash. Would you? Elfangor gives up war to fuck, the more sensible choice. Wish more people would be like that, tbh. Then he goes out for cigarettes. The shocking origin of one of our faves is revealed and reviled. Remember: Don’t feel pain… Only feel good. All this and more in the thrilling conclusion of… The Andalite Chronicles Part 2!
In the first part of a two-episode sexstravaganza, The Morphy Boys tackle the three-book standalone epic The Andalite Chronicles. Part one finds us with a young Elfangor on a spaceship named Star Sword where he totally almost wins a fight. He negs his BFF Arbron. Then he meets a laaaaaaady. A real human lady. So our boy Elfie, his boy Arbron, and his GF Loren gotta team up with a Rambo andalite to get the ultimate weapon back from the yeerks—The Time Egg. It’s called something else but this is a better name. Time Egg. We tackle the issue of “what makes a soldier righteous?” “can a soldier be good?” “Would you do a genocide?” The answer to all of these is no. War is complicated. War is hell. Humans are cruel and destructive monsters and taking what kindness they can have and driving it out in the name of national pride to do murders is, honestly, Bad Vibes. Chapman is there! Visser 3 is there! Rolling Stones! Suicidal best friends! It’s Animorphs, bb!
Apologies for the late episode. We had some problems with audio and had to rerecord parts of this one, so things might sound a teensy bit disjointed. Welcome back, Literary Slummers, to another Morph Monday episode of Shelf Aware! This week we’re getting deep into some lore, learn about the eating habits of the vile Taxxons, and follow along as Elfangor becomes an eventual war prince.

In this episode:-We read the second part of The Andalite Chronicles!-There are cool Star Wars-esque space battles-How does Elfangor’s moral compass develop?-We learn more about the Andalites - including the horrible truth about what they REALLY look like-The Ellimist’s birthday cake
We read the first part of The Andalite Chronicles!- We learn about Andalite warrior culture, ethnocentrism, and inability to crouch- We’re introduced to this weird species called humans- Elfangor thinks about war crimes more than the Animorphs do- Gray speculates on time travel, vice principals, and Elfangor banging a human. Then she rolls her eyes so hard she gives herself a headache.
We talk some heavy time travel logic in this episode of The Speaking Tree, a Fanimorphs podcast about the rules and systems within the Animorphs universe! This week we take on a few hypothetical questions relating to Megamorphs #3: Elfangor’s Secret, the book we discussed last week on The Dork-Bajir Chronicles! This week we tackle the following situations: How would you have dealt with closing the time loop after Marco killed V4? How would you have used the Time Matrix AND morphing to improve your life? How would you use a warhorse/chimpanzee/hork-bajir morph in your own life for purely personal reasons?

It's about that TIME to figure out if you can keep a SECRET. Elfangor's secret! In honour of this episode being shorter than usual, so is the amount of effort I'm going to spend on this description. If you hate it so much, why not go kill my goddamn grandpa so I'm never even ON this podcast? Fuck you. The book is MegaMorphs Three: Elfangor's Secret. I said it already! Up top!! Whatever. I'm the version of me from the bad timeline where you killed my grandpa's neighbour who was just in there trying to water my grandpa's plants and that's why I'm sooo rude. Meet me in the construction zone beside the mall where all the technology is buried and fight me to the death if it bothers you so much. I will NOT be giving you superpowers. Only super glowers. From glaring at you rudely. I'm using “I” instead of “we” but you'll never know who it is! Maybe I'm your secret space dad!!!!! Fight all of us!!!!!!!!!!!! I dare you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!In addition to sort of just deciding this isn't even really an Animorphs book, we discuss: Prozzäk, “Need A Band-Aid, Babe?” But Unironically, Did Harriet Jones Utilise Girl Power When She Did A Genocide?Further reading: The story of Simon and Milo
This week we talk about the only time-travelling novel you’ll ever need to read: Megamorphs #3: Elfangor’s Secret! In this one, the Animorphs have slaves and Jake is a white supremacist...for a couple chapters. We dive into time travel logic nonsense, how we don’t know anything about history--like, at all--and how maybe probably this book could not have been released in 2018.

The big finale of The Andalite Chronicles comes crashing down on Mikael, Tessa, and Brayden as they are showered in sci fi craziness! Join us as we talk time paradoxes in our discussion of The Andalite Chronicles: An Alien Dies, part 3 of Elfangor’s origin story! This book has essentially the coolest sci fi premises out of anything in the whole series so buckle up for our discussion of space- versus time-warping, more talk of Taxxon biology, and that crazy ass scene in the TIme Matrix tornado of time warpiness!
We’re back for the meaty middle section of The Andalite Chronicles: Alloran’s Choice. We walk you through the Taxxon homeworld and Elfangor’s movements through it. If you like lengthy discussions about the ethics and logistics of war tactics, this episode is for you. Also, if you like discussing the biology (and even psychology) of fictional alien species, this is DEFINITELY for you.
The story of Elfangor! Finally! We talk about part one of The Andalite Chronicles this week and get deep into the story of the purple alien that started it all. We discuss the logic of Andalite life (including Andalite plastic, Andalite formal wear, and weak Andalite bodies), what meat does to your brain, and whether or not Loren and Elfangor deserve to be together. Tune in for the first of this three part series on the origin of the biggest hero in Animorphs lore!
