Animorphs Races: Arn + Chadoo

The Arn are masters of genetics, so much so that they had little ability or interest in traveling past their own moons. They're related to the chadoo, small gliders that eat tree sap. Curiously, the Arn display separate arms and wings, as opposed to the chadoo who's arms are part of the wing. The Arn also vary wildly in color.

After an asteroid collided with their world, the Arn created a new ecosystem to keep the planet alive. The Hork-Bajir were made to care for the trees, while several monsters prevented them from meeting their creators. It isn't known how "new" these creatures are, whether they are simply clones of long-dead monsters, hybrids of a few creatures, giants that managed to survive the asteroid, or even entirely new species.

The Arn are, sadly, extinct. They gravely underestimated the Yeerks, thinking the parasites would simply leave if the Arn made it impossible to control them alive. The Yeerks have a nasty habit of killing what can't simply be controlled.
