Chao GardenEvolved

Chao forms

A chao's adult shape is two decisions: an alignment, set by fruit, and a type, set by whichever stat you gifted it most. Three alignments over six forms, 21 in all. Pick one to turn it.

These are rendered from the game itself, at the smoothing and lighting the garden actually uses. Genetics, accessories and mood are per chao and are not shown here. See face genes for the parts that vary.

NeutralNeutral

The default. A chao stays neutral unless you feed it Hero or Dark Fruit. Nothing else in the game moves alignment.

HeroHero

Alignment at +30 or above when the cocoon opens. Two Hero Fruit is enough from neutral.

DarkDark

Alignment at -30 or below. Dark chao wear their eyes lidded and slanted, which is deliberate rather than a mood.

Before it is an adult

Every chao passes through these, whatever it grows into.
