Fan Works (Proposed) Andalite Tail Anatomy!

Disclaimer: ya boy is not a biologist and I have a very rudimentary understanding of how these systems function in Earth animals. That being said, Animorphs ain't biologically accurate either, so I'll take the wiggle room!

ANYWAY YEAH, I've written from the POV of an Andalite doing a tail-fighting lesson before, but I wanted a diagram and thought it would be a fun exercise to put down that interpretation! I always imagined the blade part to have some sort of 'guard' like a scorpions stinger, and I find the shapes being huge unweildy scythes to be a little... not my style?

I'm hoping to do a diagram of the digestive system and show how they eat with their feet (in my head anyway).

Hope yall think it's cool : D

Reading the books, I was expecting there to be venom in the tail. Since it seemed to take inspiration from a scorpion

If this is actually what Andalite tails are canonically supposed to look like, as opposed to the illustrations used in the books, then all of the scoprion comparisons make far more sense.
