"Shiny" beasts?

[Emjay]

Quick question folks!

What is the point in shiny beasts? By shiny, I mean those with a star symbol next to their gender?

I found a toad and it was shiny and looked bigger, but didn't make any more resources or anything.

So what's the point?

Probably took a page from Pokemon and that's it

Crikey... you'd think there would be something. I mean, a unique skin at least!

I was definitely expecting more resources or something. Kinda pointless to add a feature that doesn't do anything.

Oh well, thanks!

The "shiny ✨️" are rarer colours. So you got 2 types. a "normal" colour (or colours for a few, like mooncaffs) and a rare "shiny" colour. There's also 4 types, young male, young female, adult male and adult female

How "rare" a shiny is I dont know. Got a shiny kneazle on my first den hunt and a shiny niffler on my 2nd den

OP was asking if it has any use beyond comestics.

Like if it contributed to your field guide entry to capture both variants, or its just there for eye candy.

Seems that there is a ton of features cut back. People who have gone through data mining the game have come up with a bunch of stuff that suggests the whole animal rescuing and raising was supposed to be much more interesting than what we got.

There is even a small line of code existing in the game right now, that will allow beasts to actually grow up. It just has to be switched on. There is also a database for each beast that tracks what year it was initially captured. This suggests that the player character was meant to go through several years as a student of Hogwarts at one point in development.

I got a rock

No real point, just to make people like me play for more time, so we can collect a male - female pair from each shiny. (Btw, i did it)
They do not worth more gold, do not give more matrerials. They just look different.

Thanks all for the info. Whilst somewhat disappointing that its as shallow as it is, it still gives me something to look out for I guess.

Cheers!

Maybe all this will be done in the future. They just need to get it fully released and patches and such before worrying about any Expansion or DLC.

They have confirmed that there are no plans for DLC, so don't go holding your breath!

That said, given how well it is selling, they may very well be tempted to dip into it. That assumes that the team worming on the game havnt already been re-assigned to something else or simply let go, as they seem to do in the industry.

They said no plans AT THE MOMENT. The game hasn't even been fully released (released on all platforms) so why should they be focusing on DLC now instead of fixing issues some are having and getting the game fully released?
THEN you worry about DLC.

True enough, although typically a DLC road map would be drawn up internally at least. Who knows, they might just be playing it cool or something.
