Who Is Tatsutchi?
A Chinese/Japanese dragon with a long serpentine green and yellow body, two gold deer-like horns, a pink frill down the back of its head and along its tail tip, and stubby arms and legs. Usually depicted flying through a misty bamboo grove.
Poised deep in a misty bamboo grove — beautiful to behold. Tatsutchi’s horns, back, long neck, and tail strike the perfect balance. Has no disliked foods.

How to Get Tatsutchi
Shell required: Jade Forest — this character cannot be obtained on any other shell.
Step 1 — Feed the right food during the Kid stage
Feed: any Forest food type (Peking Meat, Bamboo Grass, or Pomegranate) — just not a Pellet-only diet
This ensures your Tamagotchi becomes one of the qualifying Young types: Forest Roar, Forest Toddle, or Forest Chirp Young
⚠️ Forest Sprout Young cannot become Tatsutchi
Step 2 — Connect to two different shell colors during the Young stage
While your Tamagotchi is a Young, physically connect your Paradise device to two different shell colors. For example, one Blue Water and one Pink Land. The connections can happen back-to-back. What happens during the connection doesn’t matter — the secret character flag is triggered by the act of connecting, not the outcome.
Step 3 — Evolve
After both connections, your Young will evolve into Tatsutchi instead of a normal adult.
Timing: The Young stage lasts 24 hours. Both connections must happen within that window. Don’t wait until the last minute.
Troubleshooting:
– Double-check you’re on the right shell — Jade Forest only
– Make sure you actually fed a specific food type during Kid (Pellets only = wrong Young type)
– Both connections must be to two different shell colors — two connections to the same color don’t count
– The connections must happen during the Young stage, not Kid or Baby
Fun Facts
Jade Forest exclusive. Name from tatsu (竜/龍), the archaic Japanese word for dragon. Forest Sprout Young cannot become Tatsutchi — you must be feeding a specific food type during the Kid stage. The most visually striking secret character in the game.
