There are several animals to use in Tchia, but if you’re trying to find them all, things can get tricky. Animals can be found in the sky, in the sea, and even running around on the islands themselves. Some are easy to miss, while others are so common that you will soul jump into them several times throughout the game. The guide below goes over every animal in Tchia and where to find them.
