Followers / Cosmetic Skins

The cosmetic skins that reshape your flock, from common cats and foxes to unicorns and demons, unlocked across every biome and DLC pack.

Follower Forms are the fastest way to make your cult feel like yours, and most players unlock a fraction of them. They are purely cosmetic skins that change how each follower looks, with cats and foxes as the common picks and unicorns or demons as the rare showpieces.

The catch is how spread out they are. According to the wiki, forms come from dungeon chests, boss kills, biome Form Booths, and seasonal events, so no single activity unlocks them all.

Each form also has options. The wiki notes every Follower Form ships with three color variations, so the roster is far larger than the species count suggests.

This guide covers what Follower Forms are, every way to unlock them, the biome Form Booths and their prices, and the rarest forms worth hunting.

  • Where to buy Form Booth icon Form Booths in each biome sell that biome's forms.
  • Rarest Unicorn form icon Unicorns and demons, plus seasonal and hidden forms.

What Follower Forms Are

Follower Forms are cosmetic skins that change the look of your cult members, nothing more. Per the wiki they are purely visual, so a demon-skinned Follower icon follower works exactly like a plain one.

The range is huge. According to the wiki, forms span ordinary animals like Cat icon cats and foxes, rarer creatures like axolotls and narwhals, and mystical skins like the unicorn and the demon.

You pick a form when you recruit. The wiki notes you assign a Follower Form on indoctrinating or reindoctrinating a member, and each species comes in three color variations, so even a single animal gives you three distinct looks.

How to Unlock Forms

Forms unlock through a handful of repeatable activities, not one grind. Per the wiki, the main sources are dungeon chests, new recruits, boss kills, and the biome Form Booths, each feeding a different slice of the collection.

Combat does a lot of the work. According to the wiki, chests in dungeons can drop forms tied to that Darkwood icon biome, and every Miniboss and Witness unlocks a brand-new form the first time you beat it, so clearing Bosses icon bosses steadily grows your roster.

Recruiting counts too. The wiki states that recruiting a follower whose form you have not seen unlocks that form automatically, while seasonal events and hidden tasks add forms you cannot buy at all.

ChestsChest icon Dungeon chests (biome-specific form drops)
BossesBoss icon Minibosses and Witnesses (one new form each, first kill)
RecruitsRecruit icon New followers (unlock any form you have not seen)
EventsSeasonal icon Seasonal events and hidden tasks (limited forms)

The Biome Form Booths

Form Booths are the reliable way to buy forms, and each one is locked to a biome. Per the wiki, every area outside your cult grounds has a booth that sells only that biome's Follower Forms, with prices climbing as the biomes get tougher.

The four booths cover the four regions. According to the wiki, the booths sit in Pilgrim's Passage, the Spore Grotto, Smuggler's Sanctuary, and Midas Cave icon Midas's Cave, each selling the forms of a different biome.

AnuraAnura icon Spore Grotto booth (20 Coins each)
AnchordeepAnchordeep icon Smuggler's Sanctuary booth (30 Coins each)
Silk CradleSilk Cradle icon Midas's Cave booth (40 Coins each)
Build Tip

Buy out the cheap Darkwood booth first. In practice the Pilgrim's Passage booth sells Darkwood forms for just 10 Coins each, so it is the fastest, cheapest way to pad your collection before the pricier Anchordeep and Silk Cradle booths.

The Rarest Forms

A few forms sit outside the normal biome pools and take real effort to find. Per the wiki, skins like the Pangolin, Unicorn, and Red Panda appear randomly in any location rather than at a fixed booth, so they come down to luck.

The mystical forms are the trophies. According to the wiki, the Unicorn icon unicorn and demon skins are the standout rare forms, prized precisely because they do not fit the ordinary-animal mold of the default roster.

DLC packs expand the pool further. The wiki lists themed packs such as the Cultist, Heretic, Sinful, and Pilgrim packs, each adding its own set of five species, from bees and narwhals to tigers and pandas, on top of the DLC icon base game forms.

Trivia

Cats and foxes share the crown for most common. Per the wiki, both are tied as the Follower Forms you encounter most often across recruits and drops.

Forms are cult-wide theater, not power. The wiki stresses their purely cosmetic nature, so collecting them is about personalizing your Followers icon flock rather than min-maxing.

The color variants triple the roster. According to the wiki, every species carries three color variations, which is why the collection menu runs so much longer than the animal list alone.

Common Mistakes

  1. Ignoring the Form Booths. Each biome booth sells forms you may never see from drops. Per the wiki they are the most reliable source, so visit all four.
  2. Skipping first-time boss kills. Every Miniboss and Witness unlocks a new form on its first defeat. Rushing past them leaves forms locked.
  3. Forgetting seasonal forms. Some skins only appear during seasonal events. Miss the window and you wait for it to come back around.
  4. Expecting stats. Follower Forms are cosmetic only. Choosing one for looks over a rarer skin costs you nothing in gameplay.
