When released, the Lions have a green sphere around them, which disappears shortly afterwards. They are found in the following Action Stages:
Upon entering a Chao Garden with a Lion, it will leave the playable character and run around the garden. The Lion will sparkle if it has not given them to a Chao in the garden.
