2830 On fortunate days, players may encounter a rare Chromatic Anima, an alternate-color version of a standard creature aimed at collectors. Caught Anima can later change form through Anima Evolution, which updates their model and icon and lets the player keep a photo and a name for the companion. The number of Anima available has grown across the closed betas, from 32 at the August 2025 reveal to 82 on the official site by mid-2026.
