The premise

Five kids are given the power to morph into any creature they wish to help them fight villainous Visser Three and his fellow Yeerks, a breed of parasitic aliens threatening Earth.

Horror Vault's take

When a group of teenagers is secretly granted the ability to morph into any animal they touch, they find themselves on the front line of a hidden war for Earth's survival. The true enemy isn't easy to spot — the Yeerks, a species of parasitic aliens, can slip inside any human host and take silent control. What begins as an extraordinary gift quickly reveals a darker edge, as the kids grapple with the physical and psychological toll of repeatedly reshaping their own bodies. Stakes are personal, the enemy is everywhere, and no one around them can be trusted.
