"Well, he's pretty big, with white fur." - ―Derek and Marco
The Animorphs first came across Nanook while being stranded in the North Pole. After witnessing Nanook hunt seals, the human Animorphs on the seal's leftovers in their wolf morphs. The Animorphs later discover that their new Inuit friend Derek has a mutual respect and friendship with Nanook, and they ask Derek to bring them to Nanook's territory. Rachel and Marco, in their grizzly bear and gorilla morphs, beat Nanook into submission while the other Animorphs acquire him, placing him into a trance.
