Temtem is a recently released massively multiplayer creature-collection game that has taken inspiration from Pokemon. The game takes place in the world of Airborne Archipelago, where the world is inhabited by mysterious creatures known as Temtem. Players can enter the world of Temtem and battle against dojos and investigate mythic lairs to progress through the game with engaging turn-based combat.

There are over 100 species of Temtem for players to tame and catch, all with different elemental types and abilities. One of the most versatile Temtem types is the Nature type which provides roots for players to build their squad. This list features some of the best Nature-type Temtem and how they can be obtained.

8 Taifu

Taifu is a light-green sprout-like Temtem, matching its Nature type. It evolves from Hidody after 15 levels. Taifu has a relatively standard set of base stats. It's nothing to shout home about, but Taifu is still a staple addition to any team with its high SPATK stats.

Taifu can be bestowed with the Toxic Farewell trait, which means when the holder is knocked out, the attacker is inflicted with the Poisoned Condition for three turns, losing 10% of their max HP. Taifu can be found along the Prasine Coast in Deniz with an 85% spawn rate, or The Glassyway on Omninesia island with a rarer 25% rate.

7 Babawa

Babawa is a Nature and Water hybrid Temtem. Babawa is the final stage of a two-stage evolutionary line, evolving from Bigu after it reaches level 18. Its appearance resembles a slug, with a leaf pattern running down its back. Babawa has extremely high base STA stats.

Babawa is quite common and can be found in various locations. It can be caught at The Flywalk and The Hangroad on Omninesia island, as well as Meadowvale and Greenglen Forest on Arbury.

6 Broccolem

Broccolem is a Nature and Melee hybrid Temtem. Its name is a fusion between the vegetable, broccoli, and golem. It is the final stage of a three-stage evolutionary line, which begins at Broccoblin and evolves into Broccorc at level 10. It has good base stats, specifically with its SPATK and SPDEF.

Broccolem’s passive traits are Camouflage and Mithridatism. Interestingly, despite being found in the wild at the Chieftain’s Burrow in Arbury, Broccolem cannot be tamed unless using a TemCardX. The alternative is by evolving a Broccorc.

5 Chimurian

Chimchurian is a Nature and Crystal type Temtem. It has a pretty unique character design, as it resembles a dark-green chicken-like bird with a crystal formation crowning the top of its head. Chimurian has high base SPD and DEF stats, so it can hold its own in any Temtem battle.

Its Crystal Plume Gatling ability, unlocked at level 96, is well worth the grind as it can do 110 damage at the cost of 28 STA. Chimchurian does not evolve from or into any other Temtem and can only be found on Arbury, in the Greenglen Forest.

4 Nidrasil

Nidrasil is a Nature and Toxic Temtem and evolves from an Orphyll after leveling up 22 times. Nidrasil looks like a three-headed red snake, with each face having a different facial expression. Nidrasil has the highest base ATK of all Nature Temtem.

They cannot be found in the wild. The only way to obtain a Nidrasil is by evolving an Orphyll, found on Tucma in two locations: Xolot Reservoir and Corrupted Badlands.

3 Saku

Evolves from Kaku after 11 levels. It is a dual-type Temtem, wielding both Nature and Wind abilities. Saku’s name is derived from the word for ‘Bloom’ in Japanese. Its physical appearance is adorable, like a fusion between Hoppip and Bulbasaur in Pokemon. Saku has four large propeller-like petals on its head and floats through the air, and has a green and red color palette.

Saku has a well-rounded set of base stats, with its HP being its crowning feature. Saku can also be endowed with one of two passive traits: Air Specialist and Botanist. Players can find Saku in two places on Omninesia: The Glassyway and The Canopath.

2 Cerneaf

Cerneaf resembles a deer with large oak leaves for horns, as a plant-mammal hybrid. It evolves from Deendre after 25 levels and is the final stage in the Spriole evolutionary line. It has excellent base HP, SPD, and DEF stats, making it a tanky Nature-type to soak up damage.

Cerneaf has two unique traits that can be randomly assigned: Callosity and Settling. Unfortunately, Cerneaf cannot be caught in the wild, so players can only obtain one by evolving a Deendre.

1 Kinu

Kinu’s dual typing with Nature and Mental gives it an edge over most other Nature-type Temtem. Kinu’s name is derived from Kinushi, which are Forest Spirits in Japanese culture. Their appearance is also somewhat reminiscent of the legendary Pokemon Mesprit and the other Lake Guardian Pokemon.

Kinu has the highest SPDEF of all Nature Temtem, evolved and not. Kinu has many self-healing and damage-dealing abilities like Beta Burst and Resin Trap, making it a double threat. Finding a Kinu can be pretty tricky as they are quite rare. If players are lucky, they can be found on Omninesia island at Giant Banyan. They have a 5% spawn rate.

Temtem is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
