This was previously named "Every Region's Scan Collection List", but was changed with the animal system overhaul that the Vita Nova update introduced

Thank you for reading this guide! I hope this helps a lot. When I created this guide, there were about 3 other guides to the game, and the only one for the animals was in another language that I did not know. Using google translate didn't help much either . So thus, I decided to make this guide to make it easier to get 100% in each region! This is information that you learn via trial and error, since at the time of writing this, it is not given in game until after you discover the animal.

Here is the general format I'm using in this guide for each animal. The animals will be listed first by region, then by map (some animals are found in multiple regions/maps). The animal will then be followed by a short description from the game, and then a list stating the requirements, followed by the type of item/tile is needed and how much.

Animal - animal description
- Territory size
- Requirement 1
- Requirement 2
- Requirement 3
- (Note: any difficulties I had and how to overcome them yourself)

And onto the regions! I hope this helps!
