Encyclopedia
Arbron is a fictional character
in the Animorphs
series by K. A. Applegate
.
He was an Andalite
aristh, a cadet, who was never serious and was always competitive with Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul
, who back then was an aristh as well.
One day they were both summoned to the battle bridge of a Dome ship known as the StarSword, and was soon dispatched into a possible battle against the Skrit Na
, under the supervision of War Prince Alloran-Semitur-Corrass
.
Originally they were sent to capture the Skrit Na ship and to return two humans, Loren and Hedrick Chapman, who were kidnapped by the Skrit Na, back to Earth
.
However, he discovered the Time Matrix
, the most powerful weapon imaginable, in another Skrit Na ship. They then headed to the Taxxon
home world in pursuit of the ship.
Arbron acquired a Taxxon morph in disguise. He bypassed the two-hour limit of morphing and became a nothlit
, an Andalite/Animorph trapped in a morph body. He managed to escape from his Yeerk
pursuers and joined the Taxxon resistance, Taxxons who wanted to fight the Yeerks because they had been denied the morphing technology when the Yeerks obtained it. Arbron became an important ally to the Animorphs during their final battle against the Yeerks. He led the Taxxon army of 1,709 non-Controllers, sacrificing many in the battle, in order to sustain peace on Earth. Some time after the Yeerks' defeat, Arbron was killed by poachers in the Amazon, who were incarcerated for their crime. Because he was a nothlit
, he was, unlike the other Taxxons, unable to acquire morphing ability and become a snake. What remained of his Taxxon body was transported to the Andalite home world for a quiet funeral.
