Seven. Feral polycule is probably better than how their originals are gonna end up, joining the Animorphs would run into some of the same problems as 7 but could be mitigated, but that one? Sure, they get the security and comfort of living normal lives, except they don't. The Human Animorphs won't just let them take over their place in their families, so they're constantly going to be bouncing back and forth and arguing about it. And especially if they don't have the ability to morph, Temrash 𝘪𝘴 going to see two Jakes and they've already lost. Marco is going to kill himself eventually, take that however you will, and Rachel is going to probably do the same, just for different reasons and more directly. Honestly, the only way this 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 work is if the clones become members of the YPM somehow, fighting the war both on the battlefield and behind it. Unsure whether or not them being Morph-capable would serve this idea better or worse. Erek is gonna have so many more headaches, and as always when it comes to discussing shaking up the team, David is probably gonna get shanked by two Rachels and a Marco.

Guy mugging me pulls a gun out and holds it to my face thinking I'll give him my wallet but I start sucking on the barrel and moaning instead
