"Visser" by K.A. Applegate Trivia Quiz

Answer: She sprayed an alien mist in her eyes

Essam, Visser One's underling, agreed to go along with her to explore Earth. He gave her night vision by spraying an aerosol spray directly in her host's eyes. Immediately she could see the desert area around her with more clarity.

Answer: 5

There were five different classes of aliens according to the Yeerks. They were divided into how easy it was for the Yeerks to inhabit the bodies of the aliens. Class One aliens were unfit for infestation. Class Two aliens had serious physical drawbacks. Class Three aliens had good host bodies but lacked in quantity.

The fourth class contained suitable bodies but the aliens were too powerful to be taken, like the Andalites. The extremely rare fifth class was a suitable body along with a large number of available hosts: humans.

Answer: Hork-Bajir

By far, the Hork-Bajir body posed the most attractive choice for the Yeerks. The Gedds were unbalanced and clumsy. The Skrit Na phased into different forms and their bodies were very odd. The Taxxons were wormlike and had an insatiable need for food- they were never satisfied with anything they ate. Their hunger posed a difficult challenge for any Yeerk.

Answer: 13

For an unknown reason, there must always be thirteen members in the council, which would always be called the Council of Thirteen. They consisted of the highest-ranking Yeerks, whose power went beyond even that of a Visser. The Council contained nine Hork-Bajir, two Taxxons, and two unidentified hosts. One of the members was the head of the Yeerk Empire, but their identity remained a secret.

Answer: Desert Storm

Essam and Visser One hovered above Earth and literally eavesdropped on all of its signals. They overheard the words "Desert Storm," not understanding what it meant. Once they landed they spotted tanks and helicopters. Not long afterward a scuffle broke out and the aliens saw the weapons humans had on hand.

Answer: The "Andalite bandits" were partially human

In the regular "Animorphs" series Visser One realized that one of the "bandits" was actually her host's son, Marco. However, she didn't tell her fellow Yeerks this information. She knew it would be a victory for her great enemy, Visser Three.

Answer: Their sheer quantity

Visser One knew that if she successfully infiltrated Earth, her fellow Yeerks would have enough host bodies. She realized that the Earth held billions of potential hosts. On the Yeerk home world, there were still many slugs without host bodies. If she managed to capture the humans, the Yeerks had the chance to rule the entire universe.

Answer: The sense of smell

When Visser One left her Hork-Bajir body in order to infest a human, one of the first things she noticed was that her host was able to smell things. Humans also saw colors with more clarity. The Hork-Bajir host was stronger and faster physically, however.

Answer: Darwin and Madra

While controlling a human, Visser One created twins with her subordinate. She picked the name "Darwin" for humorous purposes. Her son was not evolved from anything: he was created by four parents: two human and two Yeerk. Madra, her daughter, was named after a bright moon on the Yeerk planet.

Answer: Water, a head of lettuce, and two raw eggs

The Council called for a one-hour break after the trial had gone on for some time. Visser One was hungry and required food. Visser Three, who inhabited an Andalite body, had no idea what kind of nourishment humans needed. So all Visser One got to eat was water, two raw eggs, and a head of romaine lettuce.

Answer: Hollywood

When the Yeerks received an overload of data emanating from Earth, Visser One realized America was the main source. She filtered through most of it and came up with four major cities that she called Hollywood, New York, Ellay, and Washington DeeCee. She concluded that Hollywood seemed most important to Americans.

Answer: He staged an Andalite attack

Two Hork-Bajir fell out of their positions and began to assault the other guards. A tiger and a bear burst through the door and also attacked the others. The tiger tried to fight Visser Three, who fought back and claimed that the Andalites were attacking. Visser One knew that they were fakes, because the tiger stopped fighting Visser Three and attacked the bear.

He had staged the fight to make it appear that he had defeated the Andalite bandits.

Answer: Grilled chicken, boiled potatoes, and steamed broccoli

After the second hour-long break, Visser One was taken to the underground Yeerk pool. There was plenty of regular human food available. Finally, she got a decent meal of chicken, potatoes, and broccoli. The human-Controllers were allowed to eat at the table provided for them. It was there that Visser One stole a cell phone and called her host's son.

Answer: "Live free or die"

The quote came from New Hampshire license plates. Marco wanted his mother either free or dead. She had been infested by Edriss for so long that she craved her freedom. The quote "Live free or die" was echoed often in the entire "Animorphs" series for its strong message.

Answer: Death by Kandrona starvation

By the time the Council had looked at all of the facts, Visser One was not the only one on trial. Visser Three was also sentenced to the worst death imaginable to a Yeerk: death by Kandrona starvation. Both verdicts were suspended. Visser Three was left in charge of Earth and Visser One was sent to a new planet. If either failed, they would be killed.
