How to Get Aurora Somnacanth

Acquire Their Eggs in their Habitats

Mt. Canalta
Mt. Canalta, Canalta Timberland

You can acquire Aurora Somnacanth eggs by raiding monster dens in their habitats in the locations above. Acquired eggs can then be hatched in the stable to acquire the monster.

However, eggs in monster dens are random, so there's a chance the egg you're looking for won't always spawn.

Fight the Monster and Force it to Retreat to Get a Specific Egg

You can force a monster to retreat to its den either by getting a high score during battle or using a paintball on it.

If a monster retreats, it will go back to its den. During this time, all of the eggs in the den will be specifically of the same species.

You can find and fight monsters in their habitats indicated in the images above.
