1111 The index publishes six base values for every Aniimo plus an Attributes total that adds them together. ATK drives damage, BREAK is what wears down an enemy's guard, P.DEF and M.DEF cover the two damage types, and REGEN governs how quickly resources come back. These are base figures and balance changes can move them.

2424 Where To Find It
2525  
2626 Nimbi is listed in 2 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.

3434 Traversal
3535  
3636 The index grades three traversal capabilities, Climb, Fly and Swim, from level 1 to level 3. A Pathfinder inherits them by Twining with the creature, so Nimbi is worth keeping for how it gets you across the map as well as for what it does in a fight.

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