Inferno Creature

Inferno Creatures are aliens from the Animorphs continuity.

The twisted, terryfing creature that is Visser Three can make his outwards appearance match his inner-monstrosity by becoming an Inferno Creature! A morph acquired by the leader of the Yeerk invasion of Earth after scouring the universe for monsters unlike anything ever been seen before on the humans' home world, this fire-breathing alien appears to be Visser Three's preferred morph. Other than being the weapon of choice for Visser Three, little is known about the species as a whole, aside that they possess "Fire Fangs" which can be fired as projectiles from their palms.

They are also referred to as Inferno Beasts.

Toys

Animorphs

• Visser Three/Inferno Creature (Mega, 1999)
  • Accessories: Missile

Visser Three's first toy transforms from an Andalite (sort of an alien centaur-thing) into an "Inferno Creature" (a somewhat humanoid alien monster). The Inferno Creature's left hand, which becomes the Andalite's left hind leg, fires a Fire Fangs missile. The right hand can be closed by pressing a lever on the rear of the right forearm. He has no transitional third mode.

• Visser Three (Ultra, 1999)
  • Accessories: 2 missiles/claws

Visser Three's second toy keeps the two modes of his original toy (more or less) and adds a third mode, a Hork-Bajir (sort of an alien quadrupedal-dinosaur-thing), which fires a missile from each hand.

Notes

• Oddly, concept art for Visser Three's Mega class toy reveals that at some point, it was planned for the Inferno Beast to be mostly blue, which would have certainly resulted in a more book-accurate color scheme for Visser Three's Andalite mode, and the creature would have also possessed a tail.
• The Inferno Creature may be a replica of a similar creature (also a morph of the Visser's) alluded to in the book series, although that particular creature was distinguished by having many more heads and limbs; alternately, it may have been based off a form he morphed into only in shadow in the first episode of the TV series, which vaguely matched the look of the Inferno Creature.
