Catching and Twine System
How catching, Aniipods, traps, creature forms and the Twine transformation system work in Aniimo.
How catching works
Official descriptions say Pathfinders catch Aniimo with Aniipods, can set traps, and need to time the catch. Exact capture-rate formulas and item modifiers should be verified in the release build.
Spawns respond to the world
Aniimo can appear according to environment, weather, phenomena, and time of day. A useful location guide therefore needs more than a single coordinate: it should record conditions and version.
What Twine means
Twine lets a Pathfinder become a collected Aniimo and use that creature's skills and perspective. It supports combat, puzzle solving, traversal, and environmental challenges.
Traversal examples
Official material specifically shows gliding, diving, and burrowing. Individual official Wiki entries also list mobility or pathfinding abilities, such as Emberpup's faster movement and Nimbi's aerial dash.
What we will verify at launch
We will test catch timing, trap behavior, failed-catch costs, form availability, stamina, cooldowns, and whether multiplayer changes capture ownership.
