Other times they indicate where an item is located, if a specific procedure is activated with Charlotte Pine, a bear with useful talents. Sometimes they want an item, and will give a reward of their essence or a useful object. The imps are not malicious - there is no fighting in Cozy Grove, they are shy and will run away when approached. There's a mail bear, Patrice Furbac, who delivers mail from the Scout Master to the protagonist filled with, not always useful, but often interesting advice, mails items created by the baker bear, and like the other island residents, has requests that include finding parcels and letters around the island, stolen by the imps. Each spirit bear has a distinct personality that usually matches their occupation.

Once spoken to they then take their corporeal form, a rectangular shaped bear distinguished from the others, with accessories appropriate to their personality and skills.

When first met the resident spirits resemble a small floating box. Gathering is the key to fulfilling quests from the island's unique spectral residents. Flowers are collected from pot plants placed around the camp or the rest of the island, trees bear rich fruit and as for the sea, that has an abundance of both common and rare fish eager to say hello to a fishing rod. As the game progresses, more tools become available, and upgrades can be made, allowing deeper holes to be dug, higher level rocks to be mined, and thanks to a recent summer update, bugs can now be caught too. Digging up suspicious spots can lead to great treasure and a broken spade that, like all tools, requires a few easy to come by items to repair.

Resources respawn over time, and are collected in fun ways. Aside from a few timed quests, there are no time limits on the island. Starting off with extremely little skills and no friends other than a friendly campfire, called Flamey, life in Cozy Grove is neither a tough or scary experience.
