Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which alien operated in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma?

Answer: The praying-mantis aliens

The dreadlocked aliens with shrunken heads lived in those particular states. They looked like praying mantises. The horned aliens, who also boasted metallic faces, lived in Europe. The sluglike creatures resided in Japan and China. In the story, aliens are everywhere and are a danger to humans. Daniel X had been warned about them by his parents.
2. Who killed Daniel's parents?

Answer: The Prayer

The Prayer, one of the praying mantis aliens, burst into Daniel's house when he was three years old. It stood six-and-a-half feet high and had dreadlocks to match its antenna. The family lived in Kansas, one of the states that housed the alien breed. The Prayer demanded "The List" and murdered Daniel's parents trying to find it.
3. What did Daniel turn into to escape the alien that killed his parents?

Answer: A tick

Daniel was born with several amazing gifts. One of them was the ability to turn into animals. He was petrified of the alien, so he changed into a tick and actually maneuvered his way onto the alien. Later he regretted not destroying the alien, even though he was only three years old. He returned to the house ten years later and found The List.
4. Which of the following powers did Daniel NOT possess?

Answer: The ability to transport to different locations

Daniel could make animals talk and do his bidding, as well as change into them. He could create things if he concentrated enough, including realistic portrayals of his parents. Daniel also had super strength and reflexes. And if he wanted to, he was able to hear people's thoughts.

He used these powers to make his way through "The List," which detailed the most dangerous aliens in the galaxy. The Prayer sat at number one.
5. What were the names of Daniel's friends?

Answer: Willy, Joe, Dana, Emma

Daniel could create them, just like he could create his parents. Willy was a strong fighter who loved adventure. Joe was a goofball that loved to eat, yet remained very skinny. Emma loved the Earth and all of its animals. Dana was a true friend that Daniel had a crush on. He learned while on his planet that these friends actually did exist once, but were presumed dead.
6. The story was filled with unique alien names. Which of the following was NOT mentioned in the book?

Answer: Knurii

Orkng Jllfgna was the 19th-ranked alien on The List, and the first alien Daniel defeated in the story. Blaleen revealed herself to be Daniel's grandmother who lived on his home planet. Chordata was a large mastodon. Daniel was able to speak telepathically with her. Mastodons still existed and lived with elephants on the planet.
7. What was one of the injuries Ergent Seth personally inflicted on Daniel?

Answer: He shot him in the stomach

Seth sent some of his followers, in the form of cats, to attack Daniel. They clawed at his face. A truck driver threw a full beer can at Daniel, and was then possessed by Ergent Seth. In truth, Seth shot a fictitious Opus 24/24 into Daniel's stomach; it was the same weapon that was used to destroy his parents.
8. Why did the old surgeon hit the bottle of brown liquid out of Daniel's hand?

Answer: It was the wrong medicine

The old surgeon noticed Daniel's bullet-ridden stomach and performed surgery on him. She handed him a disgusting-looking vial filled with brown liquid. Just as he began to drink it, she smacked it out of his hands. The surgeon was very old and it was hard for her to distinguish the bottles.

She explained that it was the wrong medicine and handed him another brown liquid-filled vial. She also used gardening tools to operate on him. She later admitted she was not a doctor- she was a gardener.
9. What animal did Daniel learn he was descended from?

Answer: Elephants

Throughout the story, Daniel mentioned how much he loved elephants. Even when he played Trivial Pursuit with his created friends he asked questions about them. When he returned to his home planet Alpar Nok he followed some inhabitants to a large domed park that was filled with elephants and mastodons. It was the coolest thing he had ever seen.
10. How did Daniel defeat Ergent Seth?

Answer: He turned into a tick and entered his head

Seth was squeezing the life out of Daniel. Suddenly, Seth was grasping nothing- Daniel had morphed into a tick and had landed on his shirt. He crawled up and into Seth's ear. He cut through certain parts, making his way into the evil alien's brain; Seth screamed the entire time.

He yelled "Get out of my head!" So Daniel obliged; while remaining in his opponent's head, Daniel became an elephant and ended Seth's life.
