Every biome within Disney Dreamlight Valley has a critter that lives there. After feeding them enough times, they’ll become a loyal companion that follows you wherever you go. On top of this, there are multiple varieties of each critter. Don’t worry if you’re confused—we’ve got you covered.
Each critter comes in various colors and design patterns. Some are rarer than others, but most only appear on specific days of the week or times of the day. There are also rare variants of each critter that are only briefly available once a week.
It can be difficult to determine when you need to log in if you want to track one specific critter. Thankfully, their times are set in stone, letting you work towards your perfect best bud once you’ve memorized their spawn times. Here’s a complete breakdown of every Disney Dreamlight Valley critter and their spawn schedules.
