Mini/Animorphs

A mini-Taxxon is the type of mini from the Animorphs continuum. They're identical to regular Taxxons, only much, much smaller. Their appetite, however, is pretty much the same.

Canon Origin
In canon, Taxxons are a large, centipedelike alien species that is always ravenously hungry, to the point that they will even eat themselves if injured. They are voluntary Controllers to the Yeerks and formidable opponents.
