Where To Find It

Emberpup is listed in 5 habitats. Which creatures actually appear also depends on weather, time of day, and local phenomena, so a listed habitat is where to look rather than a guarantee.

Habitat
Nimbus Fields
The Mistwoods
The Argent Strait
Echoback Landing
Beast Fang Ridge

Trait

Every Aniimo carries a passive Trait that is always active while it fights alongside a Pathfinder.

Trait	Effect
Scorching Flames	Increases damage dealt to elementally countered targets by 25%.

Mobility

Mobility abilities are what a Pathfinder gains while Twining with this Aniimo, so they double as traversal tools rather than combat moves.

Ability	Effect
Hustle	Enters Hustle state, increasing movement speed by consuming stamina.

Skills

Three combat moves are described below, including the learnable Pebble Kick, together with the innate basic attack. Power gives the damage value and Cost gives the resource requirement.

Skill	Type	Power	Cost	Effect
Fire Kick	Combat	72	0	Quickly leaps up with brief Invincible to dodge attacks, then wraps itself in flame and dives down to attack, dealing damage to targets around the landing point. When successfully dodging a target’s attack, deals 120% damage and increases damage by 20% for 20s.
Pebble Kick	Combat	40	0	Quickly leaps up with brief Invincible to dodge attacks, then wraps itself in rocks and dives down to attack, dealing damage to targets around the landing point. When successfully dodging a target’s attack, deals 120% damage and applies [Lockdown] to targets hit for 8s.
Fire Bolt	Combat	30	10	Launches a fireball at the target and applies 2 stacks of Fire Debuff for 5s. Hold the skill button to aim.
ATK	Innate	6	0	Wields the power of fire to attack targets at close range.

Search landmarks

The following landmarks help narrow the search within Emberpup’s five habitats.

Area	Where to look
Nimbus Fields	Search the main road for groups and roadside pairs. Families with Flameruff also follow the road toward Beast Fang Ridge. Around Nimbus Fields Bloom, check the Nimbi gathering and the area south of the Bloom. A pair is recorded near the Sea of Flowers entrance; other landmarks include raised ground, a cliff base and the edge of a small hill.
Mistwoods	Follow the road toward the swamp in the southwest. Roadside pairs are another useful sighting; other individuals and groups are recorded across the area.
The Argent Strait	Look for a pair in a small open patch, with additional Emberpup scattered elsewhere in the area.
Beast Fang Ridge	Individuals, pairs and groups appear across the area.
Echoback Landing	Sightings include lone Emberpup, pairs and groups.
