MORPHING
Morphing is a Andalite technology that for many years was never shared with any other race because of the law of Seerow's Kindness (read Hork-Bajir chronicles) . The law of Seerow's Kindness prevented ant Andalite from giving any form of technology to any other race. But one Andalite broke that law. That Andalite was Prince Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul. he gave them the technology through a blue cube (a morphing cube) which later became known as 'the blue box.' A few minutes after he'd given the humans the technology, Visser 3 (the only Yeerk to ever have a Andalite as a host body) morphed a huge creature and ate Prince Elfangor.
The humans he gave it to called themselves the Animorphs and were soon joined by Elfangor's little brother, Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill or Ax. The humans discovered rules and consequences to do with morphing. Also many facts about it.
The major rule was that you could not stay any longer than two hours in a morph without being trapped in that body forever. Another one was for humans you had to be in morph to use thought speak. Then there was the facts that you couldn't acquire the DNA from a morph and you couldn't morph straight from one body to the next. You had to return to your natural form. This proved a problem, especially demorphing and remorphing in the sea. Another problem was that they discovered they could morph clothes but only things that were skintight like leotards or bike shorts. This proved a bit of a problem in winter especially.
Another thing they discovered was that morphing it not usually pretty. It can be really horrible and disgusting to watch. There are a few people (or Andalites) who can morph almost artistically and Cassie is one of them. Their morphing can actually be pretty to watch and on the Andalite home world they have morphing shows.
