A djabala is a small, six-legged tree-climbing creature native to the Andalite homeworld. It is about a third the size of a young Andalite with a mouth, a tail, and no natural weapons. The djabala is the first creature an Andalite acquires and morphs after they receive the morphing power, due to its simple, Andalite-like body structure. An Andalite aristh must morph a djabala to pass the morphing proficiency test.
