Tubster (Highland Form) does not roam Zephyrus Landbridge like the Chirpi and Pebbling packs that fill the region. It only shows up once you have cleared out the area’s rare eggs, which means two specific pickups tucked inside two caves before the creature will appear at all.
Quick answer: Grab both Incredible Eggs in Zephyrus Landbridge, one deep in Blazing Rock Cavern and one on the upper floor of Sandcastle Hill, then head to the plateau at 0020, 1812 to catch Tubster.
How the Incredible Egg trigger works
Zephyrus Landbridge sits in the Breezy Plains region at a level range of 47–57, and it holds exactly two Incredible Eggs. Picking up the first one does nothing visible. The moment the second one goes into your bag, a banner appears saying that Tubster has appeared in the Russet Highlands to protect rare eggs, and the creature spawns on the high ground where the two areas meet.
The wording of that banner trips people up. It names Russet Highlands, but the spawn point is the elevated rock platform on the border between Russet Highlands and Zephyrus Landbridge, and the catch registers in the Zephyrus Landbridge Anilog. Tubster is listed in both habitats, at levels 45–50 in Russet Highlands and 47–57 here.
Both Incredible Egg locations
| Egg | Coordinates | Landmark |
|---|---|---|
| Incredible Egg #1 | 0403, 1431 | Blazing Rock Cavern |
| Incredible Egg #2 | 0142, 1792 | Sandcastle Hill, 3F |
Order does not matter. What matters is that both are underground, so plan on a mount for the descent and the wall-breaking, and expect Lavazar and Pebbling packs on the way to the first one.
Incredible Egg #1: Blazing Rock Cavern
Incredible Egg #2: Sandcastle Hill
The second egg is inside the huge sandstone structure the Cozites have built at the edge of the cape, the one that reads as a giant mushroom on the map.
An Alpha Egg sits on the chimney stack at the very top of the Sandcastle Hill structure, reachable with the updraft on the outside of the building. It is a separate pickup and is not needed for the Tubster spawn.
Tubster (Highland Form) spawn location
You will know it worked when the capture screen shows entry No. 010 and the badge Obtained Through the Hills and Vales unlocks. Open the Zephyrus Landbridge Anilog afterwards and the Tubster row should be filled in, with the creature sitting in your Aniimo inventory. The first registration also pays out Growth Flower x2.

Its kit leans on pull effects, with Water Tornado and Leaf Tornado both dragging enemies to a single point and Resting Whirlwind firing two arcing gusts that explode where they meet. Gale Guard covers the survivability side, granting 20 percent damage reduction while held and a shield worth 10 percent of max HP for 20 seconds once the stance ends. Reporting the creature pays out 100 Credits, and the eggs do not respawn, so the plateau spawn is a one-time trip.
