Oh god I think this is from the Animorphs book where they have to fight another human, not their typical alien enemies. They gave David morphing powers, but he turned/was evil, and so Rachel has to trap him as a rat and leave him out onto some abandoned island or some shit. Those books were brutal.

Didn't they also casually drop "Tobias could eat him" as a solution?

Cause, y'know, using your friend and ally who's trapped in a birds body and might be having some mental struggles with all that as the executioner is a great one.

Did they? This was probably after the Tobias almost kills himself out of depression but then accepts his hawk body arc, so I can't imagine why they thought it was okay to try and traumatize him again.

I could be misremembering, it's been the better part of 2 decades since I last read one of these, but there's a couple points sticking out in my mind where they at least entertained the idea of using Tobias as an assassin due to his form.

Which always kinda felt fucked up, even as a kid. Like, dude could still be a major badass, even in hawk form, but damn.
