Okay, so, I’ve been playing a ton of Animal Crossing: New Horizons lately, and January’s been a pretty chill month for sea creature hunting. I wanted to share my experience and what I’ve managed to catch so far.
First off, I geared up in my wet suit. Then I dove into the ocean around my island. It was pretty exciting, not knowing what I might find!
Creatures I Caught This Month
- Seaweed: These were everywhere! Super easy to spot with their long, flowy shadows. I caught tons of these and sold them at Nook’s Cranny.
- Sea Grapes: Another common one. Their shadows are smaller and they don’t move, so they were a breeze to catch.
- Sea Star: Found a few of these little guys. They’re slow-moving, so once I spotted their small shadow, it was easy to dive down and grab them.
- Sea Anemone: These don’t move at all, making them super easy targets. I found a bunch just chilling on the ocean floor.
- Sea Slug: These tiny creatures are kinda cute! Their shadows are itty-bitty, but they don’t move fast, so I managed to snag a few.
- Pearl Oyster: Now, these were a bit more exciting to find! Their shadows are medium-sized and they move slowly. Snatching one up felt like a mini-achievement.
- Mussel: These are pretty common too, with their medium-sized shadows that don’t move. I picked up quite a few while swimming around.
- Oyster: Similar to mussels, oysters have medium, unmoving shadows. I added a couple to my collection without much trouble.
- Scallop: Pascal loves these! Their shadows are medium-sized and move slowly. Whenever I caught one, I made sure to give it to Pascal for some cool DIY recipes.
- Whelk: These little guys have small shadows and are slow-moving. I grabbed a few while exploring the ocean depths.
- Abalone: A bit rarer than the previous ones, with their medium-sized, slow-moving shadows. It took some patience, but I managed to find a couple.
- Gigas Giant Clam: These are huge! Their shadows are massive and they move slowly. It was quite a thrill to chase one down and finally catch it. I must admit that I only found one in January.
- Sea Pig: These are pretty rare and fast! Their shadows are small. It took me quite a while, but I finally caught one. It was worth the effort, though!
- Sea Pineapple: These are also stationary, but a bit rarer to find. I was pretty stoked when I stumbled upon one and added it to my collection.
- Spotted Garden Eel: These guys are so unique! They have small shadows and sway back and forth. I was lucky enough to catch a couple.
- Vampire Squid: This is a fast one! It took many attempts to catch it and at the end I caught just one of it.
- Firefly Squid: Another one I have caught in January. A little bit smaller than vampire squid but also very fast, so be prepared!
- Spider Crab: It is big and fast, I caught one after many attempts. It’s very rare, so I recommend don’t miss it.
- Slate Pencil Urchin: I also caught one in January. It’s a medium-size and medium-speed sea creature.
- Dungeness Crab: It is a medium-size but fast-speed sea creature. It took some time for me to catch one.
The experience was awesome! I really enjoyed diving into the ocean and discovering all these different sea creatures. It’s so satisfying to fill up the Critterpedia and learn about marine life. I spent a good chunk of my free time each day just swimming around and hunting for these critters. Some days I got lucky and found rare ones quickly, other days it took hours of searching. But that’s part of the fun, right?
I hope my little adventure inspires you to dive into your own ocean and see what treasures you can find. Happy diving!
