Who is Shulala in Aniimo?
Shulala is a person, not a creature — which is worth stating first because the name gets searched like one. He is the painter standing beside a blank canvas near the Horizon Square checkpoint in Astra, and talking to him starts the side quest That’s Art! Not Scribbles! The structure is simple: he shows you a painting of an Aniimo and asks for the real creature, so the target is whatever species is in the painting rather than Shulala himself.
| Quest fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Quest | That’s Art! Not Scribbles! (side quest) |
| Giver | Shulala, painter by the blank canvas, Horizon Square checkpoint, Astra |
| Task | Identify and bring the Aniimo species shown in his painting |
| Reward | 4 x Aniimo Painting, 130 Glimmer |
The Glimmer figure is the honest reason to do it: 130 Glimmer for an identification errand compares well against longer quest chains, though the codes page remains the fastest Glimmer per minute on the site. What the four Aniimo Paintings do after that is currently undocumented — no published source describes a painting use, gallery, or turn-in, so bank them and check back rather than discarding them.
What are Voxel Cubes and what are they used for?
Voxel Cubes are the nine collectibles of the Mysterious Presence Journey side quest in Astra’s Northside. The chain starts at the glitching sign outside ChillBeanz Cafe, runs through Nova at the Polaris Institute’s Holo-Lab, and ends with three Voxelic boss phases followed by the naming scene that grants the Aimo Core. The full location table, puzzle solutions and boss counters live on our Mysterious Presence page — this page covers what the cubes are worth, not how to collect them.
| Cube fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Total | 9 cubes across Astra Northside and Horizon Square |
| First cube | Auto-granted by the ChillBeanz anomaly; the journal opens only once you carry it |
| Gated cube | Cube 4 requires the Super Claw Malfunction sub-quest after cube 3 |
| End state | All nine feed the Holo-Core sequence; the quest pays 200 Voxel Coin, 50 Glimmer, 60,000 Credits, 1,000 Safaris and the Aimo Core |
One landmark connects the two halves of this page: cube 3 sits at the Starwish Gacha building on Chill Street, a short walk from Shulala’s Horizon Square corner of Astra. If you are routing an Astra session, the painter errand and the cube chain share the same neighbourhood, and the gacha explainer covers what that building is reported to do beyond being a puzzle backdrop.
What do Voxel Coins buy?
The documented facts end at the payout: 200 Voxel Coins arrive with the Mysterious Presence completion bundle, confirmed by four independent outlets. No published reward table, shop screenshot, or filmed transaction currently shows what the coins are spent on. That makes Voxel Coin the purest “watched pot” currency on this site — recorded, counted, and waiting for a use. If a use surfaces, it will land here first; until then, treat any coin-spending advice as unverified.
For the currencies whose uses are documented — Glimmer, Credits, Safaris, Eggshell Coins, Prismana Shell Shards — the gacha and currencies page prints the full table. And if the Astra detour is wearing you down, the beginner guide covers the rank pacing that makes the Voxelic finale fair rather than punishing.
