The Ellimist

"Step into my lair, said the dreth to the chorkant..."

- Ellimist, welcoming a challenger to his game

The Ellimist is a recurring character in the late 90s book series Animorphs and the main character of the novel The Ellimist Chronicles. A mysterious and seemingly all-powerful trickster from deep within Andalite mythology, he appears throughout the series as both an obstacle and a backer to the main characters, challenging them with confusing scenarios while also rewarding them with information, powers and resources that they need in the struggle against the Yeerks. His motives remain unknown for most of the storyline, but it is eventually established that he is trying to outwit the entity known as Crayak, another seemingly-omnipotent being determined to wipe out all lifeforms except for his chosen race of worshipers. However, the Ellimist's true origins are not revealed until The Ellimist Chronicles.
