Aniimo Emberpup: Stats, Skills, and the No.001 Evolution Line

Emberpup is Aniimo No.001 — the very first entry in the official Aniimo Index and the roster’s opening Fire pick. This page rounds up everything the official sheet publishes about it — base stats, the Flameruff evolution line, its full skill list, and where it spawns — ahead of the September 16, 2026 launch. All numbers below are checked against the official index and will be re-verified with in-game testing once the servers open.

Emberpup Base Stats

HP	ATK	P.DEF	M.DEF	BREAK	REGEN	Total
67	86	60	53	38	67	371

Six attributes sum to the total shown on the official index; ATK covers physical attack while BREAK scales guard damage. As a stage-1 form these are launch-preview base numbers — inherit building and equipment will move the final values.

Element and Role

As a Fire creature, Emberpup’s attacks deal 1.6x damage into Grass and Ice and are resisted to 0.625x by Fire, Water, Earth and Light. Aniimo has no immunities, and same-element hits are always resisted — the full grid is on our type chart.

The DPS tag means its kit is built to deal the bulk of its team’s damage. In practice you Twine into it during damage windows and swap out when you need defense or healing.

Evolution Line

The official evolution tree places Emberpup at the head of the line with Emberpup (stage 1) → Flameruff (stage 2). Each stage raises the stat ceiling and unlocks stronger skill variants, so base-form investment carries forward through the family — worth knowing before you sink materials into your starter.

How bonding and stage-ups actually play out in-game is covered in our evolution guide.

Emberpup Forms (2 Variants)

3 form entries are published for Emberpup on the official Aniimo Index:

Form	Element	Habitat	Base stats
Basic Form	Fire	Nimbus Fields, Mistwoods, The Argent Strait, Echoback Landing, Beast Fang Ridge	371
Mountain Woods Form	Fire	Beast Fang Ridge	371
Highland Form	Fire + Earth	Zephyrus Landbridge, Russet Highlands	371

Forms never touch the numbers: all 3 entries share the 371 total statline and trait, and the differences sit in element typing and sometimes habitat. Full mechanics live in the Aniimo forms guide.

Skills and Trait

• Trait — Scorching Flames: Increases damage dealt to enemies weak to your element by 15%.

Combat skills:

Skill	Cost	Power
Fire Kick	0	72
Pebble Kick	0	72
Fire Bolt	10	30

Fire Kick and Pebble Kick are dodge-counter openers — jump, dodge an attack, then dive-kick everything nearby, with a successful dodge paying out bonus damage and a 20-second buff. Fire Bolt is the aimed poke that stacks Fire Debuff. Skill costs are the resource spend shown on the official sheet; power is its listed base value. For how skills interact with the Twine system, see the combat guide.

Where to Find Emberpup

The official index lists Emberpup in Nimbus Fields, Mistwoods, The Argent Strait, Echoback Landing and Beast Fang Ridge — five zones, the widest habitat net in the published roster. Whatever biome you start in, an Emberpup is plausibly nearby. Spawn points, timers, and Twine-bond strategies go into our catching guide — the short version: weaken it in real-time combat, then bond rather than trap.

Is Emberpup Good?

Emberpup’s highest base attribute is ATK, which shapes when you’d field it: a damage-first opener that wants early dodge-counters to snowball. The 371 total is starter-tier by design — the point of the line is what it becomes as a Flameruff.
