Rare Drip Variant Tips

Drip creatures use a rainbow-name variant and are tracked separately in the Tab encyclopedia.

  • Use the normal base-creature bait.
  • Kill the variant so it registers.
  • Check blank Drip entries with Tab.
  • Save this grind for post-game cleanup.

How do rare Drip variants work?

Drip is the term used by official Steam achievements for rare variants. Use the normal species route and lure while farming for one.
