Creatures
In Essentures each creature has an infant stage and an adult stage. The infant stage is shared among members of the same family, each with its own respective color, while each adult stage is unique. There are a grand total of 320 creatures in the game, composed of 250 adult forms and 70 infant forms.
Evolution <> Adaptation
To fully grow up, a creature must completely adapt to its Habitat, this concept is called Full Adaptation. However, a creature can use a special place in the Essentures World to skip thousands of years of adaptation cycles and be reborn ready to adapt to a new Habitat. This process is what we call Evolution. A creature that has passed through many evolution cycles can remember its past forms and change back to them during battles!
Weaponize your creatures
Optionally you can use your creatures as weapons
In Essentures World, creatures can transform themselves into weapons. This is necessary during the top-down action segments known as exploring mode, as there each creature can support you by transforming into a weapon, boosting your stats, and providing special moves. In full battles, where the Turn-Based RPG combat takes place, you can use the creature as an ally. it's entirely up to you to decide what fits your strategy better, weapon or creature. Don't forget, Essentures are neither slaves nor meat shields! You have to fight too!
