Animon Quirks
September 14, 2026 at 01:31 AM
Created the Animon Quirks hub with every documented quirk, its effect, and the creatures that carry it
Every Animon carries an innate quirk, a passive trait that sits alongside its type and its Animon Attributes. Quirks are separate from skills: nothing on the move list triggers them, and they cost no SP. Some fire automatically at the start of a battle, some react to being hit, and a few change how the creature behaves outside combat. This page collects every quirk documented across the roster so far, what it does, and which Animon carry it.
Quirks are rolled per creature, not fixed per species. Several rare Animon can come out of a capture with one of a few possible quirks, which is why two copies of the same species can behave differently in the same slot. Official patch notes have also treated quirks as live systems, fixing Hoarder for permanently taking items and Stunner for triggering when an Animon used a healing move on itself.
A quirk is visible on the Animon summary screen and is also part of what a full scan reveals in the Aniwiki List of All Animon entry for a species. In battle, the effects fall into a handful of patterns.
Pattern | What It Means | Examples |
|---|---|---|
Flat damage or accuracy modifier | A permanent boost, sometimes paid for with a matching drawback. | Typical, Hotheaded, Eagle Eyed |
Survival floor | Stops the Animon from being removed in one hit or from a specific damage source. | Last Leg, Bonehead, Hard Boiled |
Reactive trigger | Fires only when the Animon is hit, is in trouble, or takes a critical hit. | Unrelenting Heart, Stunner, Sore Loser |
Resource change | Alters the shared SP pool or the order the Animon acts in. | Supercharge, Handyman, According to Plan |
Weakness infliction | Stamps a fresh elemental weakness onto the first target the Animon hits. | Fracture, Spark, Contagion, Corruption |
Paired synergy | Only does anything when a specific partner is on the field. | Anode, Cathode, Totem |
The resource-changing quirks matter most in four-Animon fights, because the party shares a single SP pool. Supercharge adds to it, Handyman trades a point of it for team-wide damage, and According to Plan buys a point by acting later in the turn cycle. See Combat System for how SP and TP are spent, and Best Team Comp for squads built around these.
These quirks appear on more than one species. The Animon column lists every creature currently documented with that quirk, which is also a rough guide to how common it is.

If a catch comes with a quirk you do not want, a craftable gadget called Appendix Q rerolls it. It is built at any rest spot from two Anivite EX, ten Glass, and one Diamond, and Ales can craft it even without the recipe in hand. Because the materials are rare, it is worth saving for the species that are hard to re-encounter rather than spending on early-route catches. See How to Get Appendix Q for the full material route.
There is no way to pick the replacement quirk directly, so a reroll is a gamble on whatever the species can carry. For creatures with only one possible quirk, an Appendix Q changes nothing worth spending it on.
