Which special variants are obtainable now?
The current checklist includes 85 special-variant entries plus 24 Normal entries. A missing cell does not mean your checklist is broken: not every base Sprite has every variant, and temporarily unavailable catalog entries stay outside the completion denominator.
Gold, Gummy, and Galaxy each have 20 obtainable entries.
Gem has one currently obtainable entry: Gem Lootin' Llama.
The four Quack variants unlock at 35, 40, 45, and 55 mastered Sprites.
Does the variant replace the base ability?
No. A special variant keeps the base Sprite's normal ability and adds the variant effect. For example, Quack Water still provides Water Sprite's shield-related ability while also sharing progress with other carried Sprites.
