Companions provide valuable assistance in battle, and among Kavats, a new species was later added to the game called the Vasca Kavat.
This variant can be bred if you have a Kavat infected with the Vasca virus, which alters its genetic imprint and gives it unique abilities.
The Vasca Kavat has a vampiric theme, known for its ability to drain life from enemies and even revive its master during combat, making it a powerful support companion.
How To Get a Vasca Kavat?
The Plains of Eidolon is home to Ostia Vasca Kavats, a wild variant that is hostile to the Tenno and any other threats it encounters.
To breed a Vasca Kavat, you will need to bring any Kavat as your companion to the Plains of Eidolon, as they can contract the Vasca Virus there.
When your companion is attacked by an Ostia Vasca Kavat, it will eventually become infected, which is indicated by a distinct red glow on your Kavat.
After your Kavat has been infected with the Vasca Virus, return to your Orbiter and access the Incubator to continue the process of creating a Vasca variant.
Create an imprint from the infected Kavat, which will both generate the imprint and simultaneously cure your companion of the virus.
For the best chance of success, it is recommended to have your Kavat infected twice and extract both imprints to ensure you can breed a Vasca Kavat.
Use the imprints from a Kavat infected with the Vasca Virus to breed a new Vasca Kavat that inherits the viral traits.
After the incubation process is complete, your newly bred Vasca Kavat will be ready to mature and later join you on missions.
Special Mods and Abilities

Vasca Kavat Location
Vasca Kavats are known to roam around the Gara Toht Lake (They appear in other locations too) and can be seen often on the upper right side of the position of the lake at night in the Plains of Eidolon.
You will only be able to find them during the night cycle, as this is the only time they seem to come out due to their nature.
