The basics

Aniimo: The creatures, and the game. There are 86 species, each with one of nine elements and one of five combat roles.
Pathfinder: You. Your Pathfinder level is a soft cap on your Aniimo's level, and your title is a hard cap on both. The guide.
Idyll: The continent the game is set on. Version 1.0 ships one landmass, Breezy Plains, with thirteen named regions inside it. The guide.
Astra: The shared city, where other players, shops and the nightly Tea Party are. The guide.

Twining: Taking direct control of an Aniimo instead of commanding it. Most environmental puzzles are solved while Twined. The guide.
Break: Draining an enemy's break gauge. A broken enemy takes more damage and is easier to catch, and Break is also one of the five roles. The guide.
EP: The energy skills cost. The Energy role, also called Regen, is the one that refills it. The guide.
Role: One of five: DPS, Break, Heal, Support and Energy. A party of four should cover damage, Break, energy and healing. The guide.
Element: One of nine: Fire, Water, Grass, Wind, Rock, Ice, Electric, Dark and Holy. Rock, Electric and Holy are also called Earth, Lightning and Light. A strong matchup is about 1.6 times damage. The guide.

Aniipod: The ball. Base, Pro at 1.5 times, Hyper, Mega and Trace at 2 times, the Tumbler at 1.5 or 3 times, and the Aniipod Ultra and Sparkling Cube, which always land. The guide.
Alpha: An oversized wild Aniimo that fights as a boss. Beat one and you get a timed window to catch it. It drops held items at odds set by your title. The guide.
Omega: A story boss. Unlike an Alpha it cannot be caught at all, and you can only fight one three times a week. The guide.

Potential: How good one caught Aniimo's stats are against other copies of its species, rated Common, Good, Elite or Perfect. The innate half is fixed at the catch; the acquired half can be raised. The guide.
Capability Awakening: Spending Capability Points to raise acquired Potential. Below level 60 it can be reset and the materials returned. The guide.
Resonance: The star rank track. Star Up gives flat gains, Ascension gives percentage ones, and both spend Dewdrop Crystals. The guide.
Inherit: Moving a trained Aniimo's progress onto a better copy of the same family for 20,000 Credits. It is a swap, not a sacrifice: the source keeps existing with the recipient's old stats. The guide.
Capafruit: A training item whose effects now transfer automatically during an Inherit, so switching which copy you raise no longer means starting the investment again. The guide.
Personality: A four letter code such as ENFJ, one letter from each pair, each adding a small passive bonus. A Psyche Fruit rerolls it. The guide.
Held item: Gear equipped to an Aniimo through the training menu. A Contract binds an item's buff to one species. The guide.

Prismana: The rare prismatic form of a species. Nurturing a Bloom gives a 3 percent chance per Vein Essence, with a pity at 10,500. The guide.
Sparkling: The special colouring. It is purely a look and does not make an Aniimo stronger. A Sparkling Cube guarantees one. The guide.
Umbral: A darker variant, and not the same thing as Sparkling. The guide.

Nurture: Offering Vein Essence at a Bloom to trigger a Wild Surge and raise the Prismana rate in that region. Three free charges a day. The guide.
Bloom: A map node. Syncing one reveals a section of the map with its Sanctums, Nurture Points, Pathfinder Challenges and nests, and registers a fast travel point. The guide.
Branch: Where a region's Lumin Amber is turned in. Enhancing it raises the catch rate, lets you change the weather and raises the Sparkling rate. The guide.
Lumin Amber: The collectible you feed a Branch. One Alpha sits behind a wall that needs 120 of it. The guide.
Mobility: A skill some Aniimo have for getting around, used while Twined: flying, tunnelling, cloaking, lighting the way and more. The guide.

Homeland: Your base, entered through your RV. Each element has a job there, and an Aniimo working cannot fight at the same time. The guide.
RV: The vehicle that is both the door to your Homeland and the meter for how much of one you can have. The guide.
Aniimo Trip: Dispatch. Sending Aniimo out from an RV Park to gather that region's own materials, the ones you cannot pick up by hand. The guide.
Hatchinator: The egg machine. Three slots, real time timers that run while you are away, and the middle slot only takes higher quality eggs. The guide.

Home Coin: Homeland money. It buys plots, facilities and RV upgrades at GoGoHomes and nothing anywhere else. The guide.
Credits: Everyday money, from catch reports, Alphas, chests and most normal play. The guide.
Glimmer: The earned premium currency, spent on Aniipod Ultras, Primegy, Capafruit and appearance cards. The guide.
Lumin Crystals: The paid currency, bought with money and spent on outfits, Sparkling Cubes and packs. The guide.
Primegy: Stamina, not money. One point every six minutes up to 300, spent claiming rewards from Alphas, Omegas and the Holo-Battle Sim. The guide.
Vein Essence: The Nurture offering, bought with Stamps or found in the world. The guide.
Dewdrop Crystal: A region keyed Resonance material, spent on star ups rather than in any shop. The guide.
Stamps: The season currency, from daily activity, the weekly Stamp Rush and the Companion Handbook. The guide.

Holo-Battle Sim: The wave based roguelite. Pick a Training, climb Floors, draft Holo-Gizmos, spend Training Coins. The guide.
Interlink: The co-op mode against Alpha Aniimo in the Polaris Institute. Only your best star rank in the period counts. The guide.
Egg Heist: The player versus environment egg raid, paying Eggshell Coins. The guide.

Companion Handbook: The battle pass. Not to be confused with the Journey Handbook, which is a login event. The guide.
Aniilog: The collection index. Filling it pays levels and rewards. The guide.
Title: Your rank, from Special Rookie up through Student, Wayfarer and Trailblazer. It hard caps levels and it scales Alpha payouts. The guide.
Elite Training: The chapter structure behind promotions, each ending with Dr. Lewis's theory test. The guide.
Transmogrify: Restyling a Legendary Aniimo without touching its stats, paid for with Radiant Dreamshadow. The guide.
Safaris: Aniimo experience, paid out by Alphas and most activities. The guide.
