It's October, which not only means Halloween is soon approaching, but also there are new fish and sea creatures to catch in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

It's not just fishing, either; there are all sorts of weird and wonderful creatures to snag from the ocean floor while diving.

On the bug front, October is a bit disappointing as it only adds one critter to nab - but it is one players may have missed the first time.

We've covered all the new bugs that will be dotted around your island here, so give it a read.

Diving

  • Seaweed: available all day. Its large shadow won't move when you approach it.

  • Spiny lobster: available from 9pm to 4am. It has a large shadow which will move quickly away from you.

  • Venus' flower basket: available from 9pm to 4am. This one has a medium shadow, look for quick long lunges when you approach it.

In terms of fishing and diving, that's everything new coming to your island this month.
