Taxxon

Taxxons are aliens from the Animorphs continuity and the Animated continuity family.

Taxxons are big ugly cannibalistic centipede-things that serve the Yeerks. Visser Three figured out how to give them morphing powers, allowing them to turn into slightly different big ugly things.

• Taxxon/Alien (Deluxe)

One of the last Animorphs toys, the Taxxon transforms from an alien centipede-thing into a bipedal alien thing.

Although it was planned, this toy was never released in the United States. Because its planned release would have been near the end of the line, this led to a popular perception that it was never released at all, similar to the status of the Beast Machines Megatron toy that eventually became Megatron Megabolt. It's alternate mode is not given a specific designation in terms of what species it may be, simply being referred to with the generic term of "alien" on the packaging.
