Genshin Impact: List of Animals in Inazuma and Where to Find Them
Just like in the real world, there are a lot of animals in the world of Teyvat.
In this article, we have made a list of animals in Inazuma, including their locations.
We have also grouped the animals into five types: Beasts, Birds, Crabs, Fish, and Other Animals.
Beasts
Bake-Danuki
Location/s: Narukami Island, Kannazuka, Yashiori Island, Watatsumi Island, Seirai Island
Archive Description: A carefree tanuki that comes and goes without leaving any trace, and that knows mystical arts passed down only amongst their kindred. It has the ability to transform into other objects, including humans. Although they often tangle with a mysterious organization under the Shogunate, the tanuki is not a wicked lot and only tease humans for fun.
There is but one recorded exception: years ago, the bake-danuki who guarded Chinju Forest started a battle due to some conflict between their leader Ioroi and a kitsune. In the end, most of the bake-danuki were sealed within stone statues.
Kitsune
Location/s: Byakko Plain
Archive Description: A sly, prideful creature that has incredible intelligence and a long-lasting memory — or so the urban legends say.
They pay no attention when someone approaches, seemingly used to living alongside mankind.
The kitsune have a long history in Inazuman culture. Some legends say that they were family to the Kitsune Saiguu in ages past. After she disappeared, the mightier Sky Kitsune and Earth Kitsune turned into stone statues to await her return. As their kind slowly dwindled, the Kitsune lost their mystical might, and now no longer speak.

Birds
Crow
Location/s: stairs leading to the Grand Narukami Shrine
Archive Description: A black-colored vain. The black on its feathers is darker than the long nights of Teyvat.
When many of them circle in the sky, they can create the illusion of a solar eclipse.
Some locals consider them inauspicious, while others consider them a symbol of good fortune. As the saying goes, that’s how traditions work.
Rumors abound among adventurers from various nations concerning a giant talking crow raised by a young female investigator from Mondstadt…
Violet Ibis
Location/s: Near Inazuman shores, sandbar connecting Ritou and Narukami Island
Archive Description: A graceful bird with broad wings and slender legs.
It has beautiful violet feathers and enjoys walking across streams or paddy fields in silence. It is referred to as the Uraume Bird
in ancient Inazuma songs.
Once present everywhere, they seem to have become rarer.
Crabs
General Crab
Location/s: Near Inazuman shores, sandbar connecting Ritou and Narukami Island
Archive Description: A claw-snapping crab that can be found in various water bodies throughout Teyvat.
It has a purple shell that resembles the emblem of the Shogunate. It also is quite Shogun-like in its fearless, dominant movements. Such arrogance! Such impertinence!
Pale Red Crab
Locations: Near Inazuman shores, sandbar connecting Ritou and Narukami Island
Archive Description: A claw-snapping crab that can be found in various water bodies throughout Teyvat.
It has a light red colored shell and a gentle nature. As such, it’s a lot more suitable to be raised for ornamental display than others of its kind.
Fish
Adorned Unagi
Location/s: Watatsumi Island, fewer in other areas of Inazuma
Archive Description: A slender, amphibious fish that has the peculiar habit of warming itself up at shallows or sandbanks.
The lovely meat of the unagi has a unique flavor when grilled, and is a much-beloved delicacy in Inazuma.
Glaze Medaka
Location/s: Ritou, Violet Court, Koseki Village Right Side, Sangonomiya Shrine, Suigetsu Pool, Chirai Shrine
Archive Description: A lively, energetic fish famous for its flowery patterns.
This species has inscrutable behavioral patterns, and they can often be seen bursting into struggling fits out of the blue as if bearing some sort of unseen pain. This phenomenon, however, does not occur at all when they are alone. Some researchers believe that this peculiarity stems from their natural desire to perform.
Lunged Stickleback
Location/s: Nazuchi Beach, Ritou Island, Violet Court, Koseki Village Right Side, Sangonomiya Shrine, Suigetsu Pool, Autake Plains
Archive Description: A swift, fierce fish with spiny fins whose spiny mouth can pierce the current when it swims at full speed. Its capabilities have earned it the nicknames “The Cutter” and “Hard-To-Get.”
Unlike others of its kind, the lunged stickleback can live in dried, muddy pools for a long time. Other than its gills, it can also breathe through its degenerated scales, which is a feature much more similar to that of amphibians. As such, apart from dealing with uninvited anglers, it also has to deal with an academic vote of no confidence in it still being a stickleback.
Raimei Angelfish
Location/s: Tatarasuna
Archive Description: A rare and valuable butterflyfish variant from Inazuma. It loves water bodies suffused with Electro, and seems to derive joy from electric currents.
It is said that these fish were once from the same line as the Abiding Angelfish of Liyue, until traveling merchants exported them to Inazuma. There, their behavioral patterns underwent an unexpected shift. At present, some researchers have begun to use them in conjunction with Electro Slimes for experiments.
“Ma… Mah… Mah tung ith numm…” — A certain greedy gourmet after trying a Raimei Angelfish dish.
Purple Shirakodai
Location/s: Nazuchi Beach, Violet Court, Koseki Village Right Side, Koseki Village Left Side, Sangonomiya Shrine, Suigetsu Pool, Autake Plains
Archive Description: A gentle, elegant butterflyfish variant. It has a lovely, streamlined dorsal fin, and has the nickname “Queen of the Waters.”
Lovely purple patterns run across its body, and they love to swim together in schools to fend off natural dangers and predators. But once this quirk of theirs was grasped by seasoned fisherpeople, they realized that all one needed to do was to lure a single fish into the trap, and all the rest would follow.
Red-Finned Unagi
Location/s: Watatsumi Island
Archive Description: A slender, amphibious fish that has the peculiar habit of warming itself up at the shallows or sandbanks.
Young unagi tends to be transparent throughout, and will only gain their beautiful vermillion ear fins and red-and-yellow splotches as they mature. Apart from being used as high-end ingredients, they are also often kept as ornamental fish.

Other Animals
Electro Crystalfly
Location/s: Near ravines at the Grand Narukami Shrine
Archive Description: Pure elemental life-forms composed of drifting Electro particles, as free and unbound as the butterflies they resemble.
A glittering Electro creature that is the product of rising and condensing elements, and which feeds off the ubiquitous power of Electro.
Could the flashing light in the dark night be the entrusted faith of a certain someone…
Pith Lizard
Location/s: near the Tatarasuna Archon Statue
Archive Description: A small lizard with horns on its head that can often be found in shadowy bushes.
This lizard has blue scales with beautiful patterns that gradually change color and seems to feed off Crystal Marrow.
The lizard’s tail has special medicinal properties when dried and ground into powder. Some mad alchemists have even found a way to process them into catalysts for explosives.
Once separated from the body, the tail will lose its vitality and curl up.
Sunny Loach
Location/s: shore near Borou Village
Archive Description: The legendary freshwater amphibian that can spit out pearls. They are found mostly where the water is clear and the reeds grow long.
They are the color of a lovely, clear day, and meeting one might mean that you might have a lucky day as well.
They will combine elements that can neither be absorbed nor digested, gravel and ores within their bodies to create sparkling, shining pearls, and will spit them out when threatened to confuse and distract predators.
Sunset Loach
Location/s: near the bushes on the cliff northeast of Sangonomiya Shrine
Archive Description: The legendary freshwater amphibian that can spit out pearls. They are found mostly where the water is clear and the reeds grow long.
It is said that their lovely hue is like the sunset upon the waters, or that the tranquility of sunset stays with them.
They will combine elements that can neither be absorbed nor digested, gravel and ores within their bodies to create sparkling, shining pearls and will spit them out when threatened to confuse and distract predators.
Those are the animals in Inazuma. But aside from those, you can also still find domesticated ones like dogs and cats.
