While you do have a Soul-Meter that depletes as you control a critter, this can be replenished by eating food and increased by completing Totem Shrine challenges scattered around the islands.

Whether it be sprinting across land as a deer, laying explosive eggs as a chicken to blow up walls, or climbing just about anything as a gecko, each animal has a practical skill that can be put to use to explore the world. Embodying fish or sharks gives you more speed to explore underwater, while warping into a bird or locust allows you to cover vast distances.

While you can jump into small objects and use them as projectiles, this ability really shines when it comes to the animals. Soul-Jumping is the real star of the show in the world of Tchia, though.
