Squarrel
fireBREAK455 total
Squarrel has a large, fist-shaped tail. When its greasy tail fur is rubbed even slightly, it can burst into flames. Anyone who eyes its stockpiled pinecones will get a taste of its scorching fire fists.

Which egg produces Squarrel is not known. Named eggs lock their outcome, so one very likely does. We will not name it until we have watched one hatch.
Measuring under way
Landing the catch
Everything below is how catching works for any Aniimo — it is not specific to Squarrel. ◇Mar 2026
- Wear it down first. Depleting an Aniimo's HP and dealing break damage improves capture chances.
- Come at it from behind. Approaching an Aniimo from behind before attempting a capture increases the catch rate.
- Better still, catch it asleep. Aniimo can be captured while they are sleeping.
- Put a trap in its path. Placing traps in a wild Aniimo's path increases the likelihood of capturing it.
- Throw the right tier. Aniipods come in multiple tiers, and higher tiers have higher base capture success rates, improving the odds of capturing Aniimo, including stronger creatures.
- Out-level it. Being a lower level than the target creature reduces catch odds.
- Expect to miss anyway. Aniimo displays a catch success chance when you aim an Aniipod at a wild Aniimo, and any throw below 100% can still fail after the pod shakes.
If it is an Alpha or a Legendary
- Alpha. Alpha Aniimo bosses cannot be captured mid-fight, but they can be battled and caught once defeated, although their catch rates are low.
- Save the Ultras. High-tier Anipods, such as Anipod Ultras, should be saved for capturing Alpha Aniimo rather than spent on standard wild Aniimo.
- Legendary. Catching a legendary Aniimo requires crafting its Legendary Aniipod from legendary tokens, which unlocks the creature's exclusive story encounter; the player then defeats the legendary in battle and throws the crafted Aniipod to seal the bond.
