Dialogue

At Harbor Market

Beautiful aren't they? The light flickering about from that rock.

What are those?

They're a telltale sign that infant shrine guardians are playing nearby.

Shrine guardian kits?

If unlocked Shrine Guardian Jackal Skin:

Those are the infants of the shrine guardians, one of the creatures you've been riding around with. They aren't strong enough to fully materialize in our world yet.

Otherwise:

They're the infants of the shrine guardians. Immensely powerful spirits that take the form of multi-tailed foxes. Though they're not strong enough to fully materialize in our world yet.

Should I...avoid them?

Just the opposite! If you're lucky enough to encounter them, I'd encourage you to play along. Their parents might even reward you for keeping their kids entertained.

What if I'm not great with kids?

Aw, they're easy enough to keep busy. Some like hide-and-seek. Others enjoy...smashing things. You'll get the hang of it, I'm sure.
