# Types [Traits](/gameplay/kamigotchi/traits.md) also determine a Kami's Typing. Kami can have four types and, for purposes of typing, a Kami’s hands are treated separately from the rest of its body. The four types are: *

**Eerie.** *

**Insect.** *

**Scrap.** *

**Normal.** Kami can have the same types or different types for their

**Body** and

**Hands**. This Kami, for instance, has a

**Normal-type body** and

**Eerie-type hands**, making it a mixed type:

The four types determine which Kami have advantages over other Kami when harvesting or liquidating. In liquidations: *

**Eerie** beats

**Scrap**. *

**Scrap** beats

**Insect**. *

**Insect** beats

**Eerie**. *

**Normal** beats **Normal.** This matchup is slightly less advantageous than the other three. Visualized:

Types also determine the speed at which a given Kami harvests

**MUSU** in a room. Each room has one type, and a Kami with the same type as the room will harvest faster in that room — as well as draining HP faster. Pure-type Kami get an even larger boost in matching rooms. A pure Kami can harvest faster in a matching room than any other type of Kamigotchi. Kami with one

**Normal** type and one other type get a smaller bonus in matching rooms.

**Bodies** have more of an influence than

**Hands** in this case**.** Kami with two mixed non-Normal types get a small bonus in both types of matching rooms. They will harvest faster in rooms matching their

**Body** than in rooms matching their

**Hands**.

**Normal** type Kami harvest at the same speed in every room. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
