Beginner’s guide / Glossary
Learn the language of the field.
You do not need a build, tier list or complete map to start. Use this page when a term is unfamiliar, then head to the Dex when you want the source record behind it.
A calm first route
Look, learn, then decide.
- Browse a few records.Start with a name or number that interests you; no recommendation is required.
- Read the labels.Elements, roles, habitats, forms, pathfinding abilities and skills are separate fields in the Atlas.
- Mark what you find.Use the spoiler-safe tracker when you want a simple completion list without revealing the whole catalogue.
Terms
Field glossary.
Official terms stay close to the wording the source publishes. Atlas notes explain how this site handles gaps.
- AniimoOfficial term
- The creatures catalogued in the official Wiki and the companions at the heart of your journey through Idyll.
- PathfinderOfficial term
- The player-facing expedition role used in Aniimo’s world. This guide uses it for the person exploring, bonding and making the next field decision.
- TwiningOfficial term
- The game’s name for the bond that lets a Pathfinder connect with an Aniimo and experience the world from its perspective.
- ElementOfficial term
- A catalogue attribute such as fire, ice, water or wind. Use the Dex filters to find records with a matching element; the Atlas does not infer a matchup chart that the source does not publish.
- RoleOfficial term
- The role label attached to a creature in the official catalogue, including DPS, Heal, Support, BREAK and REGEN.
- StageOfficial term
- The progression label shown by the official catalogue: Lumin Stage, Gamma Stage or Nova Stage.
- FormAtlas note
- A named variation listed on a creature record, such as Basic or a regional-looking form name. A form is kept separate from an evolution unless the official source identifies a relationship.
- HabitatAtlas note
- A place name associated with a creature record. An empty habitat field means the official catalogue does not currently give the Atlas a reliable place to display.
- Mobility / pathfinding abilityOfficial term
- A field ability shown on a creature record. For example, the official Emberpup page describes Hustle as increasing movement speed by consuming stamina.
- TraitOfficial term
- The named trait and description attached to a creature record. Treat the published wording as the useful starting point; hidden formulas are not filled in here.
- SkillOfficial term
- An ability entry with the source’s available details, such as category, element, cost, power and description. Missing details stay pending.
- Pending verificationAtlas note
- A deliberate editorial state: the official source does not currently expose enough reliable information for us to state the fact.
