Biomutant has 23 Character Locations. Finding all Side Characters unlocks the Social trophy or achievement. The trophy description says to find “all 16 side characters” but there are actually more than that. A few are likely counted as Main Characters though. The 16 that the trophy wants are likely the ones that give a Side Quest in the Journal, but you should talk to all 23 to be safe. The best way to go about this is to play through the story until you defeated the 4th World Eater, then you can still go around the open world to reach all Characters. During the story you are directed to many side characters automatically.
None of them are missable. However, after the story there’s no free roam and you get put back in the main menu to start New Game+. Make sure you keep a manual save after defeating the 4th World Eater boss, then you can reload this save to continue free-roaming and talk to all Characters.
When you meet a new character a short cutscene will play that zooms in on them and shows their name. Also talk to them afterward to make sure it definitely counted. Once you’ve discovered them, they will show up on the map with their unique character icon.
This guide lists all character locations in the order they are closest together, going from south to north.

Note: Requires Heatzone Suit. To get it you must complete Side Quest “The Heatzone Suit”, which you get automatically when entering this area (or any other Heatzone) for the first time. You can track it from the Pause Menu > Map > /
Journal > Side Quests > The Heatzone Suit. It marks a waypoint called “The Heat Zone Pingdish” which requires you to use a big satellite that reveals the Heatzone Suit location. Alternatively, you can also put on other armor pieces that give Heat Resistance and upgrade your Resistances with Bio Points in the Upgrade Menu (Character > Mutations > Upgrade Resistances).
Character #23: Sol
Located in Out-and-About.
Note: To reach this place you must complete the side questline from Lobo (the other side character found in the Kluppy Dones Heatzone). This will unlock the blimp which allows you to fly to the island where Sol is found.
That’s all Character Locations in Biomutant. After finding them all you should earn the Social trophy or achievement.

Does Chu-chu actually give any side quests? I found him working on a train car but he doesn’t give me any quests..
Pooh says
He is connected to the last World Eater so you have to push the story a little.

Sol is reachable without the blimp if you approach from the east, there is a billing with a tight rope line that will take you over to him.
