Hey everyone! It's your friendly neighborhood fashion explorer here, back with another deep dive into the cozy, magical world of Infinity Nikki. Now, as we're cruising through 2026, this game has only gotten richer with updates, but one timeless truth remains: to craft the most stunning outfits for Nikki and her kitty companion Momo, you gotta get your hands on those rare animal materials! And let me tell you, after hundreds of hours in Miraland, I've learned that not all fluffy friends are created equal when it comes to your daily grooming routine. So, grab your virtual brush, and let's talk strategy!

First things first, you absolutely need the Animal Grooming ability outfit. Don't worry, you get it super early on—it's like getting the keys to a magical wardrobe right after the tutorial. Once equipped, you can approach most creatures. But here's the kicker: each animal can only be groomed once every 24 real-time hours. With so much to explore, from the Breezy Meadow to the mysterious Wishing Woods, you need to be smart about your daily visits. Think of your daily grooming route not as a chore, but as a carefully curated spa schedule for the most VIP clients in Miraland.

🦝 Bibcoon: The One-of-a-Kind Furball Factory

Let's start with a true celebrity in Florawish: the Bibcoon. This raccoon-like buddy hangs out exclusively outside the Bibcoon Chuckle Club. And I mean exclusively—this is the only Bibcoon in all of Miraland. That makes it a non-negotiable daily stop. It's like that one legendary food stall in a city that only makes a single batch per day; you miss it, you're out of luck.

• Material: Bibcoon Furballs.

• Temperament: Chill! You can just walk right up. No sneaking required.

• Priority: MAXIMUM. Set a reminder if you have to!

🦢 Astral Swan: The Solitary Feather Dealer

Perched majestically on a stonetree in the northwest Abandoned District, the Astral Swan is a sight to behold. Its Astral Feather is a crucial rare material for some of the coolest cloaks, especially for Momo. Finding it is a quest in itself—you'll need to befriend the local Pieceys and complete their quests to unlock the Stellar Fishing Grounds pass. Pro-tip: Once you glide over there (Floral Gliding outfit FTW!), activate the Warp Spire immediately. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later when you're fast-traveling back every day.

• Material: Astral Feather.

• Temperament: Friendly and relaxed. A true serene monarch of the skies.

• Unlock Requirement: Complete Abandoned District Piecey quests.

🐑 Longstocking: The Common but Crucial Cotton Cloud

These lamb-like creatures with ears that practically sweep the ground are everywhere—Breezy Meadow, Abandoned District, Wishing Woods. They travel in groups, so sneak up carefully! Scaring one might send the whole flock running like a group of startled bookworms hearing a sudden noise in the library. Their Longstocking Wool is a versatile crafting staple.

• Material: Longstocking Wool.

• Temperament: Skittish in groups. Tiptoe mode: ON.

🦢 Tuxtail & Rosecrown Swans: The Elegant Velvet Duo

East of the Bug Catcher's Cabin Warp Spire in Breezy Meadow, you'll find the Swan Gazebo. Here, you can find both the Tuxtail Swan and the Rosecrown Swan. Groom them on land to get Night Velvet and Rose Velvet, respectively. If they're paddling in the water, just be patient—they'll come ashore!

• Materials: Night Velvet (Tuxtail), Rose Velvet (Rosecrown).

• Location: Swan Gazebo, Breezy Meadow.

• Crucial Rule: Land-grooming only!

🌸 Florasheep: The Lavender Field Fluff Balls

These lilac-flower-covered sheep are adorable and plentiful in Stoneville and the Abandoned District. They're a great source of Floral Fleece, but they spook easily. Sneaking up on them feels like trying to catch a sunbeam before it darts behind a cloud—gentle and deliberate moves are key.

• Material: Floral Fleece.

• Temperament: Skittish. Crouch and approach slowly.

🐎 Noble Pony: The Elusive Equine

Miraland has two horses: Knight Stallions and the rarer Noble Ponies. You can find Noble Ponies on either side of the river in Breezy Meadow. Their Pony Curls are harder to get, and the ponies themselves are jumpy. They're like rare, skittish collectible cards that bolt at the slightest rustle.

• Material: Pony Curls.

• Temperament: Very skittish. Extreme caution needed.

• Location: Breezy Meadow riverbanks.

🦌 Crowndeer: The Regal Prize of the Woods

In the Wishing Woods, look for a pack of Wreathdoes. Among them, you might spot the majestic Crowndeer. Your daily goal is to sneak through the common deer to groom this royal for its Crown Fluff, a super valuable material. It's a stealth mission worth doing every day.

• Material: Crown Fluff.

• Temperament: Surrounded by a protective herd. Sneak attack required.

🦡 Suspenders Weasel: The Crafty, Jittery Friend

Common in Stoneville and sometimes in the Abandoned District, the Suspenders Weasel is adorable but nervous. Approach sloooowly to get that Suspenders Fluff. They're quick to vanish if you're too loud!

• Material: Suspenders Fluff.

• Temperament: Very skittish. Patience is a virtue.

🐂 Bullquet: The Mighty, Bug-Bothered Beast

This is a special case. The Bullquet is a unique, raging bull in Breezy Meadow, irritated by a bug swarm. You can't groom it directly! First, equip your Bug-Catching outfit and clear the bugs. Once calmed, switch to the Animal Grooming outfit for the rare Bullquet Felt. It's a two-step process for a top-tier material.

• Material: Bullquet Felt.

• Special Process: Bug-Catching first, then grooming.

• Rarity: Only one in the entire game.

🦊 Dawn Fox: The Ultimate Grooming Challenge

The crown jewel of daily grooming. The Dawn Fox is a solitary, breathtaking creature east of the Grand Millewish tree in the Wishing Woods. It's terrified of Nikki. Here's the strat:

1. Equip the Shrinking ability outfit to become Momo. The fox trusts the cat.

2. Approach closely as Momo.

3. Quickly switch back to Nikki, equip the grooming outfit, and groom it in a split-second before it panics. This maneuver is as tense and precise as defusing a glitter bomb.

If it gets scared and hides, just revert to Momo and wait. Success rewards you with Dawn Fluff, one of the rarest materials.

• Material: Dawn Fluff.

• Strategy: Momo disguise -> quick swap -> instant groom.

• Difficulty: EXPERT LEVEL.
