Coins, avatars, eggs, beasties, oh my! Here is a list of any Awakening-related terms and what they mean to help you get the most out of your Awakening experience.

Squad - These are the five besties that you will use in your battles. If you have collected more than 5 beasties, you can always change or remove the beasties in your squad.

Beastie - Beasties are creatures that you will use in battles. Beasties can be found roaming around, and they are hatched from different types of eggs. Once you have collected beasties, you can click on the Paw icon in your navigation menu in order to view them.

Beastie Eggs - Eggs contain new beasties that can be added to your squad. There are 4 different types of eggs within Awakening that you can collect. Eggs must be hatched to be added to your squad. Eggs can be gifted to you by opponents, and you can find eggs while exploring within Awakening after getting your first Starter Egg.
