Pods (Japanese: ポッド, Poddo) are a family of enemies in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Pods are unusual in that they hold other enemies, which emerge when the pod is destroyed or at low health.
Pods undergo little change between games, although they become finer and more web-like in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country due to graphics improvement.
Xenoblade Chronicles
In Xenoblade Chronicles, Pods typically hold Arachno or other insect monsters. Notable exceptions include the giant Pandora Pods in the small side cave south of the Windy Cave, which hold Envy Gogols, and Bonterra Pods in the Antol Den which imprisons Banquet Vassago and Fork Chilkins.
Pods are first encountered in Tephra Cave. They are later seen on the Bionis' Leg and at Valak Mountain.
