The Ellimist also uses the Animorphs' Chee friend, Erek King, in his endeavors. When he appears to the Animorphs, he tends to take the form of an elderly male human with glowing blue skin; in this form he can communicate normally.

The Ellimist was originally a Ketran named Toomin. He could be best described as a gamer. He played games, similar to Sim City, but instead having 2 species, and slightly modifying one thing to cause great change. His game name was Ellimist. He escaped on an experimental spacecraft with the last of his species. He, with the rest of the remaining Ketrans, crash landed on an ocean planet and was trapped by the ruler of the planet, who ensnare all who come there adding them to his network of floating underwater bodies. The ruler, who called himself Father, was an enormous sponge-like creature with hundreds of tendriles and a body which reached across the entire planet underwater. Toomin was kept alive as entertainment for Father, who played game after new game with him, always beating him. Eventually, Toomin beat Father in a game of music. After that, Toomin beat Father again and again in the Music game, and eventually Father stopped playing the game, instead playing other diferent games, which Toomin eventually dominated Father in every one. The Ketran are a fictional race from the Animorphs book series; they lived on giant crystals hovering above a lava-covered surface. ...

After that, Father left him alone for a long time. During that time, he added the minds of the trapped bodies to his brain, eventually defeating the ruler and assuming his own body with the minds of all species on the planet, making him incredibly intelligent. With this knowledge, and all the spare parts from crashed spacecraft lying around from the tricked and trapped aliens, he created a body to house his brain; this body was essentially a large spacecraft. With it, Toomin traveled around the galaxy, helping those in need, becoming a God to many species. Image:Http://www. ...

Eventually, Toomin (now the Ellimist) met Crayak, an evil being who wanted to bring chaos and death to the universe. When they met, the Ellimist could not believe what Crayak had done to all the innocent planets in the galaxy. They battle for centuries, using technology to attempt to kill each other. In the process, they destroyed hundreds of worlds. In a final move, Crayak attacked the Ellimist, forcing him into a black hole. Instead of dying, the Ellimist become one with the fabric of space and time, transforming from a technological deity to a real one. Moving a planet that Crayak was about to destroy, believed to be Earth, a half of year in its rotation, he was able to save it. Then, Crayak managed to find a way into the fabric of space and time. From then onwards, they played a deadly game with planets and the lives of the beings on those planets.

The Ellimist created the Time Matrix, according to Andalite mythology, which was essentially a time machine; however, The Ellimist Chronicles does not mention the Matrix at any point in the story. The Matrix was buried (on Earth, no less) by Elfangor. The Time Matrix is a fictional device from the book series, The Animorphs. ...

Connection to the Animorphs

First appearing in "The Stranger," the Ellimist---without explaining about Crayak or their game---offers the Animorphs a chance to save a remnant of humanity. The Ellimist claims that he cannot interfere in the Yeerk invasion, but that he can bring some humans---as well as animals, human accomplishments, etc.---to a kind of "wildlife preserve" much like Earth, thus allowing a portion of humanity to survive. He also shows them a future where Earth is completely conquered, and all the Animorphs dead or Controllers. This, however, was a ploy that allowed the Animorphs to find out information they needed to destroy the Kandrona; by "breaking his own rules," the Ellimist helped to deal a major blow to the Yeerks.

The Ellimist appeared again to Tobias in "The Change," and again, explained his desire to save a species from destruction---in this case, he had arranged to free a pair of Hork-Bajir-Controllers (Jara and Ket), and Tobias aids the alien pair in setting up a home that eventually becomes the Free Hork-Bajir colony. The Ellimist rewards Tobias by granting him a wish; Tobias' wish, to become human again (he had been trapped permanently as a red-tailed hawk) was fiddled with, so that Tobias---still a bird---could morph again, including into his own human body. This gave Tobias the ability to fight the Yeerks or, if he so wished, become a human permanently.

Binomial name Buteo jamaicensis (Gmelin, 1788) The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is a large hawk which breeds from western Alaska and northern Canada to Panama and the West Indies. ...

In "The Attack," the Ellimist finally reveals the truth about Crayak to the Animorphs, and uses them to help save a race called the Iskoort from Crayak's Howlers. He makes an interesting comment in this book---that, when Crayak first saw Jake in book 6, "List_of_Animorphs_books_%281-10%29#Animorphs_6:_The_Capture|The Capture]]," Crayak had seen that the Ellimist "had touched (Jake)." As the Ellimist didn't appear until book 7, this implies (and Applegate confirmed on the Animorph website) that the Ellimist had "known" Jake before this point. The Iskoort are a race of aliens from the Animorphs series by K.A. Applegate. ... Howlers are the alien shock-wave troops of the nearly-omnipotent Crayak, from the fictional book series Animorphs. ...

The eventual meaning of this comes out in "Back to Before," where Jake---tempted by Crayak's servant, Drode---wishes that the Animorphs had never found Elfangor, thus never acquired the morphing powers. This new reality, however---which was supposed to give the Yeerks an easy victory---broke down, as Cassie was able to tell that the world was not as it should be. Here the Drode reveals (in the form of complaining) that the Animorphs were, in fact, not a random assortment who had found Elfangor but that they had been picked out by the Ellimist---as he put it, the Ellimist had "stacked the deck" with them for their specific abilities and positions.

The Ellimist had also meddled with the past, and caused Elfangor to go from being a human on Earth to an Andalite war-prince; this change was made in the timeline while allowing Tobias to continue to exist, thus preserving the Ellimist's plans.

The Ellimist makes his final appearance in the last Animorph book, "The Beginning." There he appears to honor the dying Rachel, where he tells her the story written in "The Ellimist Chronicles." He also tells her that she was not a random choice, and that her life mattered greatly to the fate of the world.
