Dude was Tobias' pet cat and first morph.
Biography[]
Dude was a pet cat of Tobias and one of his only friends.[1]
The same night Elfangor gave the Animorphs the ability to morph and told about the Yeerk invasion, Tobias went home and practiced morphing into Dude.[2]
Dude's fate after Tobias became trapped in morph remains unknown.
Trivia[]
- Dude was the first animal acquired and morphed by any of the Animorphs.
- Dude can be seen on the inside cover of The Change in a framed picture on a bookshelf in the background of Tobias' room.
- Even though Tobias cannot morph into Dude anymore, it is possible that Dude's DNA is within Tobias; when Tobias was human, he had both the cat and the hawk DNA within him, and upon trapping himself as a hawk, he may have still had his human and cat DNA within him, albeit being unusable for morphing.
- Dude as pictured on the inside cover of The Change is intended to look like illustrator David Mattingly 's cat Orson. Mattingly tries to put a picture or mention of Orson in all of his artwork, including many of the Animorphs books inside covers.
