Animon

Animon are the creatures at the heart of LumenTale: Memories of Trey. There are around 140 known species, and catching, raising, and battling them is the core of the game. They are made of Anivis, an energy that flows through the whole world of Talea.

What Animon Are

Animon are mystical creatures formed from Anivis. Members of the Lumen study, catch, train, and battle them. Each Animon has both an elemental type and an emotional attribute, and many can evolve into stronger forms as they grow.

Types and Attributes

Two systems define every Animon:

The 13 elemental types include Fire, Water, Geo, Grass, Electric, Ice, Aura, Chakra, Demon, Data, Virus, Ancient, and Anomalous. The five emotional attributes are Felicis, Mestus, Furor, Horrens, and Sereum. A creature’s type and attribute together shape how it performs in battle.

Type effectiveness in this game is per-species rather than global. Instead of a single chart that says "Fire beats Grass" across the whole roster, each Animon has its own set of strengths and weaknesses against the 13 types, and some species also carry a secondary type. Learning the matchups for the creatures you fight regularly matters more than memorizing a single chart.

Anivis

Anivis is the energy that flows through the world and makes up the Animon themselves. The study of Anivis is a field of research in the game, led by experts such as Kapan. This connection between creatures and the world’s energy underpins the setting’s lore.

Catching and Raising

You catch wild Animon with the Holoken, then raise them through battle. See Monster Collecting, Monster Taming and Bonding, and Leveling and Progression.

Starters and Notable Animon

Your adventure begins with a choice of Starter Animon. Confirmed creatures so far include Mewaii, Vortail, Ozelash, Salabel, Queccha, and Lampecko. The full roster of around 140 species is best discovered in-game, since most have not been revealed before launch.

Lost Variants and Art Cards

Some Animon appear as rare Lost variants of a species. These are not simple recolors: a Lost variant has its own shape and redesigned form, distinct from its common counterpart, and they are harder to encounter. At launch the roster includes 76 Lost Animon.

The game also uses collectible art cards. Gathering the card for a creature raises your chance of finding that specific Animon in the world, including the Lost variant of a species. Together they give dedicated collectors extra ways to chase the rarer entries in the roster.
