Each list covers the critters, their locations, their value, and the time of day that they will arrive. In both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

May proves to be a manageable month for Deep-Sea creatures in the Northern Hemisphere. Only one creature is leaving, and those that are arriving are here almost all day and are fairly slow or noticeable. If you need a few extra tips on how to catch creatures such as the Gigas Giant Clam be sure to check out last month’s Deep-Sea Creature Guide. As part of that guide includes a few tips for catching the larger and faster critters. Next up on the Animal Crossing New Horizons: May Bugs and Fish Guide lets see what is happening for our friends in the south.
