Fun Fact
Tumblr was attacked by a cross-site scripting worm deployed by the Internet troll group GNAA on Dec 3, 2012.

I know this is a joke but now I'm thinking about how exactly morphing a fungal colony would work.
Out of all the characters (animorphs, yeerks, and literally everyone else) who would you say is the biggest drama queen? And out of the adults (aliens included) who is the biggest 'manbaby' (toddler in an adult body)
I mean, Visser Three is RIGHT THERE.
A few favorites:
He scanned the room like the Queen of Hearts, looking for someone to behead.

«Strange place to meet for our final battle, Andalites,» he said. «But battle we must.» That was pretty calm for him. I think maybe the fact that he was the size of a dandruff flake depressed him.

«You'll lose Leeran for us yet, you half-human fool!» "Like you've already lost Earth, despite the fact I handed it over to you in perfect shape?" It was bizarre. You have to understand that there was a huge, roaring battle going on between my friends and the Hork-Bajir. And I was standing there, having just punched out a Leeran. But all the two vissers seemed to care about was trashing each other.

#its like...ok we got several slugs on the list thats easy enough#theres one humanoid squid. unless were counting the tadpole itself in which case we have a slightly squid-like slug. but im pretty sure#that if the specific Mindflayer is in the 'adult' stage of life; what would count is that form and not the tadpole form.#so thats fine enough. simple. but then you have...what is probably...a hivemind of fungi. probably.#and thats worse. like ok if i took the movie adaptation at face value then the hivemind's actualy physical form would be that of a tape wor#and thats straightforward enough. BUT the Dreamcatcher book suggests that the tapeworms are only the hivemind's 'pets¨'#and essentially live GPS trackers. the hivemind itself seems to either have no real material form aside from the spores; suggesting a funga#nature (not flowers because the way the hivemind infects organisms is reminiscent of fungal infections. so.)#OR their form truly may have been the grey little men. iirc there is nothing that actually 100% disproves it. like it is extremely unlikely#but afaik nothing outright disproves it. but its more likely that they were either#previous hosts that eventually succumbed to the decay the hivemind brings or that they were not material at all and WERE#truly a mass hallucination; as some characters suggest; which would make the hivemind virtually hostless upon their arrival on Earth#meaning that they arrived as nothing but shrooms and spoers#either way id have to somehow morph alien fungus. i am...unsure if that thing even HAS a DNA.#god at this point this speculation is reaching the same level of insanity as that one time when my two friends and I#had like a 2 days long debate about how much alcohol it'd take to get an Andalite drunk. results indeterminate because we realised#that we dont know if they have a human stomach or a horse stomach. if its a horse one theyd just die. if its a human one the debate can#continue again. we DID actually have some numbers before we realised that we dont know what stomach they have
