Animal Crossing: New Horizons sea creatures guide and complete list

Date:

Animal Crossing: New Horizons players can now go diving for new sea creatures.

Once you equip a Wet Suit, you can press A against the ocean to leap into it and swim. You can press A again once you’re in the water to swim around and press Y to pick up any critters you find. When you dive down, you’ll see bubbling shadows. Swim up to these to pick them up.

You’ll be able to find critters like Starfish and Oyster, along with Scallops. Finding a Scallop will summon Pascal, a red sea otter who will desire the delicious critter. He’ll give you DIY recipes for mermaid furniture in return.

These critters can be donated to the fish section of the Museum and have their own Critterpedia page on your Nook Phone. Like fish and bugs, certain sea critters only appear during certain seasons and times of the day. Sea creatures are a separate type of critter from fish, meaning that C.J. will not buy them from you nor will he turn them into models.

Check out our table below for info on when to find the critters. We’ll be updating the table as we find more sea creatures.
