History[]
Fighting Rachel and Marco[]
- "I am Grath. I am the leader of the elite Blue Band Squadron. You will surrender or you will die."
"Surrender? He doesn't know me very well. A Hork-Bajir's gonna die on this pier, Mr. Grath. But it's not gonna be me." - ―Grath and Rachel to Marco

Attack at the Hork-Bajir Valley[]
- "You know my eyes aren't great at night. But I could make out at least one company of heavily armed Hork-Bajir. More than a hundred strong. And they have blue bands around their arms."

Battle at the Midtown Bio-Services Facility[]

Ambush on the Subway[]
- "Just then, I heard the doors at the back of the car slide open. And looked up to see a squadron of three Blue Band Hork-Bajir clumping toward us. They must have been hiding on the train all along."
- ―Ax
Three Blue Band Hork-Bajir attempt to ambush Ax, Marco and Cassie while the latter three Animorphs have hijacked a subway train filled with explosives headed towards the Yeerk pool. The Blue Bands are easily defeated when James, in red-tailed hawk morph, attacks them, causing them veer off-balance when the train turns and resulting in all three dying when they grab a metal bar that a live wire comes into contact with.
