The Dots

The Dots are a group of blue, round mutants that live in a small commune up in the Papu Tree's branches. They are unintelligible to the player when they speak, but appear to be understood by the characters anyway.

Bopek is friends with the Dots, and will frequently sit and fish with one. Gaia also made fast friends, paving the way for Nonno later. At her grandfather's prompting, Kai climbs up to their commune (despite having been driven away before) and offers to help them with a lost crop. Dennis does not seem to be close friends, but he works with them to monitor the Papu Tree's health, and ends up keeping track of the Dots' activities when he meditates by their garden.

Occasionally Dots will appear at various locations throughout the game to interact with the scenery.

Gardening
When Kai discovers that a crow stole the Dots' latest harvest of Red Ti Fruit, she offers to grow them a new crop. This prompts the planting and growing of the Dot Garden, which nurtures the mood.

Dot Shaman
The most notable Dot is the Dot Shaman. This Dot wears a headdress and spends much of their time on one of the commune's upper levels. When Dennis teaches Kai the mood growing song, he mentions that he learned it from the Dot Shaman, who learned it from Manii directly.

Kai must go to this Dot for their expertise in choosing a totem for Spirit Walking.
