Legendary Aniimo

Added the September 30 Irisalis preset and held item changes and the announced switch to fixed Innate Potential values
Alongside the 86 Basic Form entries in the public creature index, the studio maintains a separate category it calls Special Aniimo, and within that a Legendary tier. Most of them are filed outside the main dex numbering, and they are not caught the way ordinary Aniimo are.
The studio published this list when explaining which creatures were excluded from the closed beta's egg-sealing event. The list was left open-ended, so it is what has been named rather than a complete roster.
Index Entry | Form | Element | Role | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
No. 99998 | Basic Form | Holy | DPS | |
No. 99996 | Basic Form | Holy | DPS | |
No. 10001 | Prismana Form only | Grass | DPS | |
No. 10003 | Basic and Prismana Forms | Electric, or Holy and Electric as a Prismana Form | DPS | |
No. 10002 | Basic Form | Electric | Support | |
No. 082 | Basic Form | Electric | REGEN | |
No. 030 | Prismana Form only | Wind and Grass | REGEN |
Two things stand out. Lunara and Irisalis used to be names with nothing attached; the launch rebuild gave both of them entries, Lunara with a full stat line, trait and skill set and Irisalis as a standalone Prismana Form. And every creature on the list is an index entry that also carries Special status, which means Special is a designation layered on top of the index rather than a separate roster.
Fennelun sat at No. 9997 next to Helion before launch, filed outside the main numbering in the same way. It does not appear in the creature index published for the launch build as of September 17, 2026, and Helion and Lunara are now the only two Holy-element Basic Forms in it. Nothing official says Fennelun was cut; it was last documented during the 2026 closed beta period.
Before launch the index ran 001 to 093 with no entry at 013, a gap that invited guesswork because the sequence around it ran Iris at 011 and Irisal at 012, a two-stage evolution line. The launch rebuild settled it: 013 is now Skippy, and Irisalis has its own number at 10001. The rebuilt index runs 001 to 082 with a single gap at 030, and that one resolves too, to Somniwing, which is published only as a Prismana Form and so does not appear in the Basic Form roster.
The launch build replaced the way Legendary Aniimo are obtained. The studio said the old approach was an entry fee plus repeated throws and pure luck, and that it did not fit the weight the encounter was meant to carry. Irisalis was rebuilt first, and the studio stated that the new structure is the template for every Legendary Aniimo encounter that follows.
Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
Legendary tokens | Collected through world exploration and story progress, folded into everyday exploring and catching rather than gated behind a separate activity. |
Legendary Aniipod | Crafted by the player from those tokens. It is personal to that Pathfinder. |
Exclusive story | Unlocked once the Aniipod is made, opening the creature's own story content. |
The encounter | An exclusive encounter appears on the map. Enter the battle, follow the story through, defeat the creature, and throw the Aniipod you built to seal the bond. |
The encounter is one-time. There is no repeat attempt, which is the design point: a Legendary is a story beat rather than a farm.
Irisalis became obtainable with Version 1.1 through a season called Legendary Journey: Windchaser's Departure. It runs from September 25, 2026 at 10:00 to December 10, 2026 at 07:59 (UTC+8); on the Europe server it ends at 23:59 UTC on December 9 and on the America server at 19:59 (UTC-4) the same day. Pathfinders need to have reached Student I to take part.
Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
Iris Petals | Collected from a new source with a weekly limit. |
Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis | Crafted from a set number of Iris Petals. Crafting it unlocks the Rift Space where Irisalis lives. |
Befriending Irisalis | Forging a Twine with it unlocks the season's Blessing Gifts, and befriending it unlocks its exclusive Transmog ability. |
Legendary Aniipod: Windchaser's Departure | Crafted from more Iris Petals once the Irisalis Aniipod has been made. It has a 100 percent capture rate, and the Aniimo caught with it has Perfect Innate Potential, appears in its Sparkling Form and carries perks exclusive to the season. |
That follows the launch template of a personal, crafted Aniipod leading into the creature's own encounter, with Iris Petals as the crafting material named for this season. The update notice does not say how many petals each Aniipod needs or how many the weekly source gives.
A resource update on September 30, 2026 raised the number of Transmogrification Presets for Irisalis from 3 to 5 and fixed a fault with its skill effects when it holds its exclusive Held Item, Floral Rainbow Feather.
On October 1, 2026 the developers announced that Irisalis's Innate Potential, random as of that post, will be set to fixed values after the version 1.1 update. They gave the reason that a Legendary can be obtained only once, so a random roll left its payoff unguaranteed. Any existing Potential above the fixed values is to be converted into Starcryst Essence, with the exact conversion rules and amounts to follow in the update announcement and in-game mail. As of October 13, 2026 the change had not been confirmed live.
Stat | Announced fixed value |
|---|---|
ATK | 10 |
REGEN | 10 |
HP | 5 |
BREAK | 5 |
M.DEF | 5 |
P.DEF | 5 |
The same post said Legendary Aniipods will become usable on Sparkling Aniimo that have already been caught, replacing the Aniipod the creature was caught with and granting that Legendary Aniipod's exclusive Sparkling effect; see Catching and Aniipods.
As of September 27, 2026, no drop rate, petal count or story length has been published for any Legendary encounter, and the only level requirement published is the Student I rank that opens the Irisalis season. The gap in Lunara and Irisalis data closed at launch, when both gained index entries. Version 1.1 then set out how Irisalis is obtained, but nothing has been published about how Lunara is obtained. The category is confirmed and its structure is confirmed; the numbers are not.
