Critters

Critters Tag Icon

Critters can be caught all around Friendship Island using the Net and Bubble Wand. Different critters can be caught in each region, depending on specific location and time in the Day Cycle.

Each critter has a particular rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Legendary.

Usage

Critters can be donated to the Nature Preserve, the Cloud Island Critter Corral, and the Merry Meadows Critter Corral.
Critters can be placed into terrariums in Visitor Cabins for display.
- Land-dwelling and flying critters can also be placed directly into the room without the need for a tank.
- Water-dwelling critters need to live in an aquarium.
