Hey there, fellow Axie enthusiasts! If you've been traversing the mystical realm of Lunacia, chances are you've encountered a wide array of these fascinating axies that stood out among others. Let's dive deep into these axies and introduce how they came to be.
Axie Special Collections
The Pioneering Origin Axies
>>> View the Origin Axie Collection here.
Origin Axies are the foundation of the Axie universe. They represent the earliest designs and concepts from the game's inception. Holding an Origin Axie is like owning a piece of gaming history. These vintage Axies serve as a reminder of where it all began, and collectors cherish them as a testament to the game's evolution and growth.
The Majestic Mystic Axies

Imagine an Axie with an air of mystique and an aura of power—enter the Mystic Axie. These extraordinary creatures are exceedingly rare, featuring a stunning celestial theme that sets them apart from their more common counterparts.
To understand the allure of Mystic Axies, one must first delve into the origins of these mystical marvels. Mystic Axies are, at their core, Origin Axies infused with mystic parts. Origin Axies, as mentioned earlier, represent the foundation of the Axie universe, boasting vintage designs that harken back to the game's inception. When Mystic parts are added to these cherished creatures, they undergo a transformation that elevates them to a whole new level of rarity.
The Kawaii Japanese Axies
>>> View the Japanese Axie Collection here.
Prepare to be enchanted by the delightful and kawaii (cute) Japanese Axie. These adorable creatures sport a distinctive design inspired by the captivating world of Japanese culture. With their irresistibly charming appearance, Japanese Axies bring a touch of whimsy to the Axie Infinity universe. Collectors are often drawn to them for their endearing aesthetics and cheerful personalities.
The Jolly Xmas Axies
>>> View the Christmas Axie Collection here.
When the holiday season arrives in Axie Infinity, it's time to celebrate with the Xmas Axie! These festive Axies don a Santa hat and a merry disposition that can brighten up any player's day. Xmas Axies add a dash of holiday spirit to the game, and collectors eagerly await their seasonal appearances.
The Sun-Kissed Summer Axies
>>> View the Summer Axie Collection here.
Summer is the season of sun, sea, and fun, and the Summer Axie embodies all of it. With a tropical, beach-ready appearance, these Axies bring the joys of summer to the virtual world.
Achieved via breeding event, breeders experimented with different combinations to achieve specific visual traits, such as the rare Shiny counterparts or 6 Summer Parts and the Wavy body -- Summer Axies that have six summer parts have special bodies called Wavy. These axies are highly valued since coming up with an Axie that has 6 Summer Parts involved strategic breeding and choosing parent Axies with the desired traits.
The Exclusive MEO & MEO II Corporation Axies
>>> View the MEO & MEO II Corp Collection here.
If you often check your Claim Tokens tab in app.axie, you might have noticed a claimable token called AEC. This stands for “Axie Egg Coin,” also called a MEO token, which can be exchanged for a MEO Corp Axie (5 tokens for 1 MEO Axie). MEO Corp Axies are rare Axies that can only be bred from MEO Tokens. Because they aren’t bred from other Axies, MEO Corp Axies are somewhat similar to Origin Axies.
The Ethereal Nightmare Axies
>>> View the Nightmare Axie Collection here.
The Nightmare Axie introduces spooky-themed parts and a special body type to the collectible lineup. Nightmare parts come in either regular or Shiny variants, with capped supplies, making them highly collectible.
Brought upon by the Wings of Nightmare evolution/devolution event, Nightmare Axies introduce Lunacia’s Dream World to App.axie. It's a limited-time & limited-supply opportunity to evolve select axie body parts into Nightmare parts.
The Elusive Shiny Nightmare/Summer Parts
>>> View the Shiny Nightmare/Summer Parts Collection here.
A Shiny Axie part boasts a unique appearance, with noticeably distinct coloration compared to its non-shiny counterpart. They are significantly more difficult to achieve than their collectible counterparts.
These Shiny parts were only made available for the Summer breeding event and the Wings of Nightmare evolution event, where every breed or evolution has a very slim chance of mutating to a Shiny part.
The King of All Axie Collectibles: Agamogenesis!
>>> View the Agamogenesis Axies Collection here.
As majestic as the mystic axies could already be, three axies stand above all. Agamogenesis Axies are 3 exclusive Axies that were auctioned before the opening of the Axie lab. Agamogenesis Axies have bionic parts that were built by the MEO Corporation. These distinct body parts have rare animations that differentiate them from their original counterpart (e.g. Shoal Star – 5H04L-5T4R).
DID YOU KNOW? Axie Infinity player Coco_Bear was the first person to own an Agamogenesis Axie; he actually won the bid for all 3 Axies!
Perks of Owning Special Axies
Axie Ecosystem
Owning special assets will serve as a ticket for exclusive airdrops, merchandise, and invites; and special access to some features and test releases.

Mystic axies are the jewel of the Ronin ecosystem. Listed below are a few of the Axie and Ronin benefits that might get you interested in owning one.
Axie Infinity: Origins
Collectible Rewards System
Imagine a digital collectible that also functions as a battle pass. This is the inspiration behind a brand new collectible axie reward system that we rolled out with Season 6 of Axie Origins.
Owners of Mystic, Origin, Xmas, Shiny, Japanese, and MEO axies will be able to earn AXS-infused chests through active play. To earn these chests, collectors will need to reach Tiger rank during Rare era, Dragon rank during Epic era, and Challenger during Mystic era. One chest per era.
We believe that with this initiative, we’ve officially turned collectible axies into the first web3-native battle pass.
Collectible Leaderboard
A separate leaderboard system is dedicated just for Collectible axie holders, with a total of 4,000 AXS in prize pool for the entire season. The prizing distribution works like this:
Meta Morph
Adapt collectible axies to the Origins meta with Meta Morph, an in-game feature in Axie Origins. This feature allows collectible axies to morph their cards into any other card of an axie that you own in the game for that body part, making them more versatile for battle. With Meta Morph, you'll be able to change their cards, enhancing their competitiveness in the Origins arena.
Fortune Slips
Holders of collectible axies who submit Atia’s Blessing via the Shrine on App.Axie can now receive varying amounts of Fortune Slips. More rare collectibles, more Fortune Slips.
You will be able to redeem Fortune Slips for on-chain rewards via the Garuda Shrine Shop.
