The short version

Who's That Aniimo? is a photo puzzle with three rounds: 16 to 24 September, 2 to 8 October and 16 to 22 October. You get a silhouette and a list of trait clues for a mystery Aniimo. Photographing Aniimo that share a trait reveals more of the silhouette, and photographing the mystery Aniimo itself pays the main reward.

The first round's answer is Budclaw, a Rock and Grass Aniimo in the Break role. Destructoid, Dexerto and Game8 all agree. The answers for rounds two and three have not been revealed yet.

How to take part

Open the event from the Events menu.
Take in-game photos of Aniimo that match the listed traits to reveal the silhouette. On PC, photo mode is on F7, according to Game Rant.
Photograph the mystery Aniimo to claim the main reward. Round one's answer is Budclaw, which Dexerto places at Freshsprout Hill.

Rewards

Sparkling Crystal x100 for photographing the correct Aniimo
Breezy Plains Dewdrop Crystal x50 for photographing it before the whole silhouette is revealed
Investigation rank rewards: Glimmer x50, Tumbler x1 and Wonder Egg x1, per Destructoid, Dexerto and Game8

Tips

Photograph the answer early to also collect the Dewdrop Crystal bonus.
Game8 says 100 Sparkling Crystals trade for a Sparkling Cube at an Outpost vendor, so the main reward is worth about one Sparkling Cube.
The answer changes every round. Do not reuse Budclaw in October.
