So I am in bed with a broken foot. And just thought of an Alternate version of Animorphs.
In this version of Events I will be adding a second group who end up naming themselves The Changelings. They live further away and closer to the Big city than the Animorphs do.
The Changelings get morphing powers of course but from a completely Different Andalite.
This is What I have so far. Feel free to ask more or message me .
