With the month of November, a number of brand new sea creatures not yet seen by players in the Northern Hemisphere can now be caught in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and luckily, they will all sell for a pretty penny.
Even though the days are starting to cool down and it's the last month of fall, Animal Crossing: New Horizons players can still take a dip and go for a swim, meaning that they can also hunt for sea creatures sitting at the bottom of the ocean. Lots of critters can be found throughout the month of November, with 25 out of the 40 total available in the Northern Hemisphere and 22 out of 40 in the Southern regions.
While all of the normal sea creatures like Seaweed and Pearl Oysters are still catchable in November, this month will see several firsts for folks who play New Horizons in the Northern Hemisphere. And, save for the humble Sea Cucumber, they are all worth a large number of Bells if any players need to make some extra cash. Luckily, there's only one crab that's going away at the end of the month, but the Gazami Crab has been in the Animal Crossing oceans since June.
As for the Southern Hemisphere, they also have access to the boundless number of Sea Anemones and Acorn Barnacles, but will also get a few sea creatures worth hefty prices throughout November, including the Gigas Giant Clam that's worth 15,000 Bells and the Vampire Squid, which can only be found at night. Both are very quick specimens, so players should be on their toes when hunting for these rare critters.
The Dungeness Crab is leaving at the end of November, so make sure to catch one and donate it to Blathers before the month ends. Below is a quick overview of all the sea creatures that are new this month.
