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.

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 deluxe 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.
