These races are classed in five different classes by the Yeerks:
Class 1. Ones physically unfit for infestation
Class 2. Those who can be infested, but have serious physical drawbacks
Class 3. Species that can be infested, suffer no physical disability, but exist in few numbers and cannot be bred quickly
Class 4. Those that would be excellent targets for infestation but are too formidable to challenge
Class 5. A race that is right for infestation, exists in large numbers, and does not have the power to resist the Yeerks

Hork-Bajir Seer
The DNA mess-ups that were created by the Arn. They are sub-species of the Hork-Bajir and have the intelligence equal to an Arn. Class 3
Howlers
The children of Crayak. They are literally children, and are the exact opposite of the Pemalites. Instead of being peace loving, they are a warfare people but don't know any better. They think the destroying is a game. Like on the computer. In book #26, the Animorphs defeated the Howlers by giving them the memory of love, of Cassie and Jake kissing. Now they are peaceful. They have destroyed the Mashtimee, the Nostnavay, the Pemalites, the Pon, Graffen's Children, and many others. They share a collective memory, and are walking arsenals. Their howl is their most dangerous weapon, and can blow apart some species heads, especially sentient ones. Class 1

Slugs. Blind and deaf, they're virtually harmless. Unless they're in your head. Yeerks are parasites, and enter the body through the ear.
