After months of waiting diving has arrived in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. With it comes a whole new set of creatures to catch, all residing under the water. We’ve shown you how to swim and dive, but now it’s time to get into what you’ll be catching while you do it. Below you’ll find the entire list of underwater creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons including the price and when to catch them.
Underwater Creatures List
The list is sorted alphabetically since there’s just too much going on to sort any other way. You can see that many are available all through the day and any month of the year. For others though, there’s specific times and dates you’ll need to watch out for. Just be sure you’re checking the right hemisphere as it’s different for each. Once you identify if the desired underwater creature is available just get out and swim as much as you can to get them all. Some prices are based on previous games and will be updated when more info is known, so don’t be surprised if you go to sell some and it’s a little off.
