[Animorphs] Why did Ellimist give Tobias the choice between becoming human OR retaining Animorph powers? I mean, if you already decided to intervene, why not just make him a regular human Animorph?

Because he realized what Tobias wanted wasn't *really* to become human. Tobias didn't have a good home life, and it's been a while, but isn't it implied Tobias at least partially on purpose stayed over the two-hour limit? 

Also, the Ellimist isn't an omnibenevolent god. He is a gamer from an extinct race playing a game against another godlike being. He is on the side of life and peace, not the side of individual happiness.
