New Bugs, Fish, Sea Creatures In October For Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Northern & Southern Hemisphere)

10 months ago

Autumn is coming into full swing as we approach Halloween this month, so it’s time for a New Bugs, Fish, and Sea Creatures Arriving in October Guide for Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH)! We’ll tell you every new critter joining your island this month in both the Northern & Southern Hemispheres.

Each and every month in Animal Crossing: New Horizons brings a different set of fish or bug creatures that can appear on your Animal Crossing island depending on the current month from the real-time clock.

That means you can potentially discover a fresh new batch of fish, bugs, and sea creatures on your island to catch when October begins that weren’t previously available to catch in September!

So if you want to catch every single creature to complete your NookPhone’s Critterpedia for getting golden tool items and donate every critter to the Museum, it’s important to know which critters have arrived this month and make sure you catch them as soon as you can to get an early start.

This guide covers both the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere islands — you’ll find the Southern information below the Northern sections.

For folks in the Northern Hemisphere, October is a relatively uneventful month of creature changes in Animal Crossing with so much change last month in September. For Southern Hemisphere players though, they can look forward to quite a few Spring creatures coming into play during October!

Note that creatures are the same between 2020 – 2022, so you will see similar critters if you have played for a long time. This guide is written inclusive of no matter when someone may have started playing or taken a break, so repeats will show up sometimes!
