Critters

Critters in Dreamlight Valley are the small animals which populate the Valley's different regions.

These small animals can be interacted with, and when fed food will offer rewards. Each critter has a favorite food, and feeding them that specific food will trigger a friendship effect and log it into your collection. Critters also have a chance to drop valuable items when fed their favorite foods.

Each critter species has a number of color variants, but species area and favorite food is the same across all colors of a critter. Different colors appear on different days, so filling in the critter collection will take some time while waiting for each color to appear.

Players can view if the critter has spawned in world by checking the 'Critters' section of the collection menu. If an animal color is unavailable the Schedule will read 'Not here today' when the critter is selected.

After a critter has been added to the collection, friendship with it can be further increased and it will follow the player as a companion. To add it as a companion - feed it twice (it can be any food, it does not have to be their favorite). Each critter can only be fed once per 24 hour period, so collecting them as a companion will take multiple days.

Critter Schedules

Each color of critter follows a specific schedule - only appearing during certain times on specific days of the week. Sundays are the best day for critter variety, as almost all color variants have a chance to spawn in either the morning or afternoon. Some rare critter colors only spawn on one specific day of the week for a window of only six hours.
