Who’s That Aniimo? Answer Today: Gachapus, Then Coraliz and Ignitis

The Who’s That Aniimo? answer from 30 October to 5 November 2026 is Gachapus in its Basic Form, found in Crescent Bay on the Whisperwake Isles. Coraliz follows from 13 to 19 November, then Ignitis in Highland Form from 27 November to 3 December 2026, all dates in UTC+8.

Updated 29 October 2026: the answers come from the event’s own tables in the game’s data files, build 1.1.3846247, which hold one mystery Aniimo per phase rather than one per day. The first row of that table is Budclaw, the answer Trophy Tom solved on camera on 16 September, so the table and the game agree. The answer for the phase that is on, with its map link, sits at the top of the Who’s That Aniimo? event page.

Everything else below was read off Trophy Tom’s screen on 16 September 2026, the day the first window opened: the five clues, the Habitat button, the photo and the upload. The method has not changed since. Only the target has.

What is the Who’s That Aniimo? answer today?

From 30 October to 5 November 2026 the answer is Gachapus, Basic Form. From 13 to 19 November it is Coraliz, Basic Form, and from 27 November to 3 December it is Ignitis in Highland Form. Each phase keeps one answer for all seven of its days, and the form has to match: the rules accept only a photo of the mystery Aniimo’s exact form, so a Prismana Gachapus or a Rainstorm Form Coraliz will not close the board.

Phase (UTC+8)	Answer and form	Where to photograph it
16 to 24 September 2026	Budclaw, Basic Form	Nimbus Fields, Breezy Plains
2 to 8 October 2026	Glacy, Sea of Flowers Form	Sea of Flowers
16 to 22 October 2026	Inferlupa, Prismana Form	Nimbus Fields, Breezy Plains
30 October to 5 November 2026	Gachapus, Basic Form	Crescent Bay, Whisperwake Isles
13 to 19 November 2026	Coraliz, Basic Form	Crescent Bay, Whisperwake Isles
27 November to 3 December 2026	Ignitis, Highland Form	Blitzwood

The place column is the zone the Habitat card on the panel points at. For Gachapus and Coraliz its Go button lands on the Glimmer Coast teleport, inside Crescent Bay, the Lv.54~59 area of the Whisperwake Isles. Gachapus has its own where to find it guide. If you have not reached the isles yet, the rules accept a photo of another Pathfinder’s Aniimo, or one already in your album, so a friend’s Gachapus counts.

The launch-day answer: Budclaw

In the first phase it was Budclaw, the Earth and Grass mossy-shelled Aniimo, and it is photographed at Freshsprout Hill in Nimbus Fields, Breezy Plains. The upload screen prints the confirmation itself: Identification Complete, with a tick against Earth Element, Basic, Lumin Stage, BREAK and No special Pathfinding abilities.

Read that against Budclaw’s Aniidex entry and the four checkable clues line up exactly: element Earth, morphology Basic Form, stage Lumin, role Break. The fifth is the game’s own classification, with no field on our pages yet.

The whole run, in order

1. Main menu, then Events, then Who’s That Aniimo? in the list on the left.
2. Read the five clue tags around the silhouette. Ticked means confirmed.
3. Press Go on the Habitat card. The world map opens on the right region.
4. Teleport to Freshsprout Hill, Lv.17~21, in Nimbus Fields.
5. Follow the dirt path east through the blue and purple flowers.
6. Open the radial menu and pick Snap to enter photo mode.
7. Frame Budclaw until Target Appeared! shows, then press the shutter.
8. Back to the event panel, press the album button, choose the photo, press Upload.
9. Read Identification Complete, and collect both rewards.

Part 2: three phases from 30 October to 3 December 2026

The Part 2 update notice of 27 October 2026 brings the event back three times: 30 October to 5 November, 13 to 19 November and 27 November to 3 December 2026, each from 04:00 on the first day to 03:59 a week later, UTC+8, open from Student II. The notice is on the official site; our events calendar shows what runs beside each phase.

The rules are the same in every phase. The first saves a trip: Pathfinders can also select photos from their existing album that meet the topic requirements for submission. Check the album before you travel.

The panel’s hints still say today’s Mystery Aniimo, and a game mail reissues unclaimed rewards from yesterday’s Who’s That Aniimo? event. Earlier versions of this page read that as a new target every day. The tables say one target per phase, and so does the rules text, which talks about this period’s mystery Aniimo. The mail does suggest rewards are counted day by day: our reading, not something the tables spell out.

The others, quoted where the wording matters:

• Anyone’s Aniimo will do: your own, another player’s, or a wild one on the continent of Idyll.
• The form has to match. Only photos where the submitted Aniimo matches the mystery Aniimo’s exact form will count.
• Two places never count: the Holo-Battle Sim, whose Aniimo are holographic projections, and Sanctums, whose Aniimo are bound by ancient seals.
• A wrong photo is still a clue. If the Aniimo in the photo is not the target, the game compares the frontmost Aniimo with today’s clues and shows the result as a hint.
• Missed rewards come back by mail the next day, as the mail above says.

The reward lines are the same in all six phases (see Rewards). Each phase opens at 04:00 UTC+8, the hour of the daily reset in our daily reset guide.

What Who’s That Aniimo? actually is

It is an event panel, not a world activity. Open the main menu, choose Events, and Who’s That Aniimo? is in the list down the left side of the screen.

The panel itself is one screen with three columns. Left is the investigation board: a black silhouette with clue tags pinned around it. Middle is a speech bubble spelling out the mechanic. Right is the reward column and the Habitat card. Along the bottom runs the event’s reward track.

The speech bubble is the rule, and it is worth reading twice: Take a photo of an Aniimo that shares a trait with the target to reveal that part of the silhouette. So every photograph you upload is a question. Photograph any Earth Aniimo and the Earth Element clue resolves, whether or not that creature is the answer.

The five clues, word for word

There are five clue tags, and a tick on a tag means that trait is confirmed. In the recording four were already ticked and the fifth, Earth Element, was still sitting on an unrevealed card in the middle of the board.

Clue, as printed	What it is	Budclaw in the Aniidex
Earth Element	Element	Earth, with Grass as a second element
Basic	Morphology	Basic Form
Lumin Stage	Stage	Lumin
BREAK	Combat role	Break
No special Pathfinding ab, printed in full on the upload screen as No special Pathfinding abilities	Traversal	None listed

One caveat on the fifth clue, because our own pages could read as a contradiction. Budclaw’s Aniidex entry lists a mobility skill called Tunnel, whose description is a combat state rather than a way of crossing terrain. The event counts Budclaw as having no Pathfinding ability, and the ticked chip on the upload screen is the game saying so.

The Habitat button does the hard part for you

The right hand column ends with a card marked Habitat: a thumbnail of the region the target lives in, with a Go button on it. Pressing Go opens the world map already centred there.

That card is the single biggest shortcut in the event. It narrows a whole continent to one region before you have guessed anything, which is why the clue tags are worth reading first and the map second.

Where is Budclaw? Freshsprout Hill, in Nimbus Fields

Teleport to Freshsprout Hill. It is a teleport point inside Nimbus Fields, in the west of Breezy Plains, and it carries the level band Lv.17~21.

From the landing point the route is short and needs no climbing: follow the dirt path east, with blue flowers banked on one side and purple on the other, past a stream, a fallen log and a cluster of pale boulders. Budclaw graze along that path in loose groups of two or three.

Taking the photo

Open the radial menu and choose Snap, the camera icon in the middle ring. Frame the creature until a yellow Target Appeared! banner drops over the focus reticle, then press the shutter.

Do not shoot from across the field. The album screen prints the reason in its own words: Photos that are too distant or blurry may be rejected. Try taking clear, close-up photos of Aniimo! Time Stop on the rail is there for exactly this, because Budclaw wander while you frame them.

Uploading it

Go back to Events, open Who’s That Aniimo?, and press the album button at the bottom right of the panel. Pick the photo from the strip and press Upload.

The photo comes back with the trait list beside it, one chip at a time, and the panel behind it updates. Anything the picture proves gets ticked whether you were aiming for it or not, which is why an early photograph of the right creature settles the whole board in one go.

Rewards

The panel lists two photo rewards: 100 Sparkling Crystal for a photo of the correct Aniimo, and 50 Breezy Plains Dewdrop Crystal for a photo taken before the full silhouette is revealed. The screen shows only icons and quantities. The names come from the event’s reward table, and they match the icons in the recording: a blue crystal in a glass bubble, and a green and white item on a purple rarity tile.

Reward line	What it pays
Photo of the correct Aniimo	100 Sparkling Crystal, the material for Sparkling Cubes
Photo before the full silhouette is revealed	50 Breezy Plains Dewdrop Crystal
Track, 1 clue revealed	50 Glimmer
Track, 3 clues revealed	1 Tumbler, an Aniipod
Track, 5 clues revealed	1 Wonder Egg, which hatches into an Aniimo with at least the Alpha or Sparkling mutation

Under the panel runs that track, with gift milestones at 1, 3 and 5. It counts the clues revealed in the phase, out of five, and the recording fits: it read 4/5 with four tags ticked, and 5/5 once the right photo had ticked the last one.

The right photo reveals every clue at once, so it fills the track to 5 and keeps the early bonus in the same upload. There is no reason to reveal clues one by one once you know the answer. The Tumbler from the third milestone is listed with every other Aniipod on the Aniipods page.

The bonus you lose by solving it late

The second reward is paid for guessing early: take a photo of the Aniimo before the full silhouette is revealed. In the recording the board stood at four clues out of five when the photo was uploaded, so both rewards were live at once and both carried a gift badge afterwards.

That turns the event’s own design against itself in a useful way. The process of elimination the clue tags invite you into is exactly what forfeits the bonus, because the fifth tick reveals the silhouette. If you already know the answer, or you have read it here, photograph it first and collect both.

Naming an Aniimo from a dark outline before the last clue lands is a skill you can practise outside the event. Aniimo Dle, our daily browser game, has a Silhouette mode that shows one Aniimo’s shadow a day and reveals its element after 3 wrong guesses, the same kind of tag this panel pins to its board.

What this page does not cover yet

• Footage of a Part 2 answer. The Gachapus, Coraliz and Ignitis rows come from the event’s tables, not from a recorded run; the clue tags for those phases have not been filmed yet.
• Whether rewards reset daily. The reissue mail points that way, the tables do not say.

The method lasts: read the tags, press Go, photograph the match, upload it before the silhouette fills in.
