Where to find ghost Zero Fox Critter in Disney Dreamlight Valley
The Ghostly Zero Fox can be found wandering around The Haunted Floating Festival island endlessly. This Critter doesn’t have a singular fixed location and instead patrols around frequently, making it a bit tough to track down. Luckily, this Ghostly Critter has a glowing blue and white appearance that generally makes it easy to spot around the otherwise dark island. This Fox is quite fast, though, so you might want to eat some food so you can glide or fly to keep up with it.
