Creatures¶
How trapping works, what releasing a creature unlocks, and where every creature can be trapped.
Trap Pods¶
| Pod | Catches |
|---|---|
| Trap Pod S | A random Small creature from that location |
| Trap Pod M | A random Medium creature |
| Trap Pod L | A random Large creature |
| Trap Pod SP | A random creature of the family you pick (Machina, Elemental, Humanoid and so on). The only pod that can catch people. |
- Shinra's Creature Creator tutorial on your first Celsius visit gives a Trap Pod S, M and L. You can hold eight.
- Getting more: play any Fiend Arena tournament (win or lose), release a creature whose story is finished, or finish Chapters 1 to 4 (three SP pods each).
- Free pods: with none left, back out of Trap Creature and the game gives you a Trap Pod S or M.
- One pod per location at a time. Round it up before setting another there.
- You can hold eight creatures. Release one to make room.
Sizes and the party¶
A party is worth three slots. Yuna, Rikku, Paine and Small creatures take one, Medium creatures take two, and Large creatures take all three. Creatures act on their own. The 1 to 5 star cheer gauge in battle nudges how aggressive they are, but young creatures mostly ignore it.
Every creature needs a Garment Grid and a Dressphere before it can fight. The Dressphere can't be changed in battle. It changes the creature's stats and adds that Dressphere's abilities (Thief adds Mug, Psychic adds Telekinesis) without removing any it already has. The Garment Grid gives the creature its own set of abilities, which are different from what the grid gives Yuna, Rikku and Paine.
Fiend Tales and releasing¶
- A creature joins at about your party's average level, and its Fiend Tale gains a Story Level each time it gains a level. A tale has 3 to 5 Story Levels.
- The end of each of the first four chapters, and every cup you win, gives all your creatures a free Story Level.
- A creature that joins at level 99 can never level, so its tale can never finish. Catch tale creatures early, or in New Game Plus, where creatures carry over at level 1 with their abilities.
- Releasing a creature with a finished tale plays its ending and gives you a Trap Pod. Some releases unlock more:
| Release | Unlocks |
|---|---|
| Flame Dragon | Ifrit in the arena |
| Flan Blanco | Shiva in the arena |
| Mycotoxin | Valefor in the arena |

| Monolith | Becomes Ultima Weapon |
| Ultima Weapon | Starts the "Fiend Deathmatch!" mission and opens the Fiend Portal |

| Haizhe | Deep Haizhe can now be trapped |
| Killer Hound | YSLS-Zero can now be trapped |

| Spine Drake | Balivarha can now be trapped |
The first eight have a Fayth fragment instead of a story. Release all eight to open the Aeon Cup. Releasing other creatures adds their teams to the arena; see the "Appears after" column on the Fiend Arena page.

Where to trap them¶
Size is the pod to use. Each line under Where is a location, the pods that work there (SP shows the family to pick), and the chapters. A creature listed under Luca can also be caught there, but Luca's list is so long that the odds are poor.
