Animorphs Book 5: The Predator by K. A. Applegate

The Predator gives Marco stakes that he can fight for, while also doubling down on the body horror with some insect morphs. It finishes getting all the Animorphs on the same page and establishes Yeerk politics at play on Earth.

Your mileage may vary as to which morph is the creepiest, but morphs with exoskeletons really don't come out looking good here.
