Midnight Anomaly Database
Midnight anomalies use several trigger systems. Some are targeted with Plaques on the Haunted Shelf, some are random after progression, and others require Rain, Thunderstorm or Snow. Weather controls eligibility where canonical, but it is not a guaranteed spawn rule.

Midnight Quick Facts
Use the database below to separate random, Plaque, weather, progression and special encounters.
Session boundary
05:00 / 06:00
Many anomalies disappear around 05:00; Midnight forces the player home at 06:00.
Plaque rule
Target, not guarantee
Placing a Plaque targets its anomaly when Midnight occurs. Same-night activation is not confirmed.
Weather rule
Eligibility
Rain, Thunderstorm and Snow do not create Midnight or guarantee the matching anomaly.
Main distinction
9 + related
The nine main entities are separated from related night activities and the Quarry boss.
17 documented encounters found. Quarry B120 is listed separately as a related boss.

Open dedicated authorityThis is a progression-linked anomaly after the Livestock Barn exists, not a normal livestock species. Its unresolved state can prevent livestock Mood from reaching maximum. The first successful resolution unlocks the Livestock Whistle, which calls nearby livestock and does not raise Affection directly.

Common Problems and FAQ
Check the trigger boundary before assuming a weather, Plaque or reward bug.
It is raining but Karakasa did not appear: Rain makes it eligible; it is not a guarantee.
I placed a Plaque but nothing happened: a Plaque targets the anomaly when Midnight occurs and does not necessarily force the same-night session.
Dzunushi ignores my Bow: use Pickaxe-reflected red-mist stones according to the current record.
Livestock Mood will not reach maximum: check the unresolved Cow Ghost state.
Purifying Salt disabled everything forever: no permanent disable behavior is canonical.
I found a Nushi fish instead: anomaly Dzunushi, White/Nushi Fish and Okami Pool Nushi are separate systems.
The current repository derives 18 anomaly records: nine main named anomalies, eight related night events and one related Quarry boss.
A Plaque targets its matching anomaly when a Midnight session applies. It does not prove that Midnight starts or that the anomaly activates the same night.
The five current shared Plaques target Tsukumo Daruma, Lantern Ghost / Hand-Eye, Hyakume, Tengu and Nodzuchi.
No. Rain is the canonical Karakasa eligibility condition, but the current data does not mark weather as a guaranteed spawn.
Fujin & Raijin uses the thunderstorm condition. Thunderstorm is not substituted with ordinary Rain.
Yuki-onna uses Snow with Winter recorded in the anomaly context. Snow does not guarantee the encounter.
The current record says Bow attacks are ineffective. Use the Pickaxe to return its red-mist stones.
Mode-specific Midnight availability, anomaly behavior and alternate reward paths remain null in the current authority.
