Capybara Onsen Capybara List

This list is a job chart. It will not invent a menagerie. Every Capybara you own falls into one of four working states: starter, pair-ready, higher-tier, or waiting-for-space. Name them in your HUD however the client does. Track the state here.

Sibling pages: Lucky Boxes and Yuzu economy. Parent: Capybaras hub.

Starter Capybaras

These are the first shop buys. Their job is to prove Yuzu drops and to become the first merge. Keep one visible near the deposit. If you own four starters and zero merges, you are collecting statues. Read early-game ranks and combine a pair.

Pair-ready Capybaras

Two matching units that have already paid you once. Their job is the next merge. Do not buy a third copy unless a Lucky Box gifted it. A third copy is insurance, not a plan. The merge guide explains when to wait for a box.

Higher-tier Capybaras

The result of a merge. Their job is a better Yuzu rate and a better chance to find boxes. Place them where the camera can see the ground. A high tier hidden behind a wall is a wasted unlock. After placement, deposit once so you know the new path works.

Waiting-for-space Capybaras

Units from a box or a shop click that have no pad. Their job is to force a single expansion. Do not buy two wings. Read how to expand the Onsen, place the unit, and return to idle.

Placement rules that are not lore

• See the unit and the deposit in one camera shot if you can.
• Do not bury new tiers in the back of a decorative wing.
• Walk the floor after every placement. Lucky Boxes hide in steam.
• If you play on a phone, fewer, clearer pads beat a maze. See controls.

How to grow the list without names

After each session, tick what changed on the collection checklist: first buy, first deposit, first merge, first box, first expansion. That is a real list. When official names appear after a shutdown, add them as extra lines, not as a rewrite of the jobs.

If a patch adds a portrait to the shop, screenshot it and compare with latest notes. Do not assume a new art file is a new loop.

A weekly roster audit

Once a week, stand in the oldest corner of the Onsen and count pads that earn nothing. Those pads are either waiting-for-space mistakes or starters you refused to merge. Pick one pad and resolve it that session. A weekly audit keeps the list shorter than your memory.

If a friend joins the same server, do not copy their pad count. Copy their deposit habit if they have one. Pad count without fruit is a museum score.

What not to import

Lists from Capybara Evolution, Capybara Spa Tycoon, or mobile spa games do not apply. Those rosters include pets, visitors, or oranges. This Onsen uses Yuzu and merges.

Merge priority tells you which job to tap. How to play if the list feels early. Review if you wanted a Pokédex and need to decide whether the game is still for you.

If two units look identical in a screenshot but the HUD treats them as different tiers, trust the HUD. Lighting and steam hide merge marks. Zoom out, read the label, then decide. The controls page is the zoom reminder.

A useful list is a list you can act on. Keep, merge, place, or expand. Everything else is steam.
