Sea creatures are the third type of creature you can collect in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Like fish and insects, sea creatures can be donated to the Museum and have a Critterpedia page to keep track of which ones you’ve already caught.
Unlike the rest of the wildlife, which can be safely captured from the safety of your island, you must swim in the ocean to find the sea creatures.
The sea creatures you can encounter will also change with the seasons, as will the fish that share its waters. The list of sea creatures in progress on this page focuses on when each creature can be found in the Northern Hemisphere.

Sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons explained
You can find sea creatures in the waters surrounding your island in New Horizons, and like art, insects, fish, and fossils, they are one of the collectibles you can donate to the Museum.
These creatures have their own page on Critterpedia and can be sold at Nook’s Cranny.
Pascal might also offer you the chance to trade one of these creatures for a special DIY recipe.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons: sea creatures and price list
Like fish and insects, New Horizons sea creatures are seasonal, meaning some won’t be available during specific months of the year.
This means that it is impossible to find all the sea creatures in one day. Instead, you should make sure to explore the depths of the sea all year round, even when it turns icy in winter.
Below you will find all the sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, including the months they are available, in the order they appear on Critterpedia.
It should be noted that the following are for the northern hemisphere. For the southern hemisphere, each set of dates will differ by six months.

The Animal Crossing 2.0 and Happy Home Paradise update is here! We can help you with the new additions, including where to find Brewster, Gyroids, new villagers, ordinances, new fences, storage shed, new hairstyles, Froggy Chair, group stretches, and Kapp’n boat tours. Cooking can now be unlocked, so you need to know how to make flour and sugar, as well as how to grow carrots, potatoes and tomatoes. In the meantime, if you’re new to Animal Crossing, our New Horizons tips can help you with the basics. From the beginning, there are fish and insects to catch, flowers and fruits to grow. A long-term goal is to increase your Happy Home Academy score. Finally, you need tools like the new ladder and pole to fully explore.
How to catch sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons explained
If you want to start collecting sea creatures in New Horizons, you must first purchase a wetsuit. Using one of these will allow you to venture into the sea surrounding your island.
Once you are among the waves, swim until you see a series of bubbles rising from the bottom of the sea.
Look for the bubbles.
Head to these bubbles and then start diving. Doing so will change the camera angle, giving you an aerial view of the sea, allowing you to see a shadow sitting on the sea floor.
This shadow is the sea creature you are hunting, and to catch it, you must bring your avatar closer to the creature.
Dive into the water to find deep sea creatures.
If you do this correctly, you will automatically swim back to the surface to reveal your catch, which you can then find in your inventory.
Good luck finishing the Critterpedia page on sea creatures!
