Several types of Critters are found while exploring the Biomes in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but players may not know that some of these creatures are actually rare and worth paying more attention to.
Rare Critters are creatures that can be seen only once weekly in a specific time frame. Dreamers are allowed to feed them once each week in Disney Dreamlight Valley and need to repeat the process to gain the rare creatures as companions, which means it's harder to pursue them compared to the common counterpart.
8 White Squirrel
- Biome: Plaza
- Day: Sunday
- Time: 12 AM - 6 AM
Squirrels are generally easy Critters to approach and feed as they don’t run away or act skittish. Simply walk towards the White Squirrel and interact with the animal to feed it. The Squirrel’s favorite food is Peanuts, and it will accept most Fruits like Apple, Banana, Blueberry, Cherry, etc.
To get it as a companion in Disney Dreamlight Valley, players need to feed the White Squirrel at least two times to gain enough EXP. The feeding process usually rewards Dream Shards and Memory Shards.
7 Calico Rabbit
- Biome: Peaceful Meadow
- Day: Thursday
- Time: 8 AM - 2 PM
Catching a Rabbit in Disney Dreamlight Valley is like playing tag. Players must follow the Critter three times back and forth before it allows people to catch it. Interact with the bunny and offer a Carrot since it is considered Rabbit’s favorite food. As for liked foods, the Critter accepts a variety of Grains, Spices & Herbs, and Vegetables.
Similar to Squirrels, the Calico Rabbit needs to be fed twice to obtain the bunny as a companion. Since it’s a rare Critter, players can only encounter the Calico Rabbit on Thursday between 8 AM and 2 PM.
6 Black Sea Turtle
- Biome: Dazzle Beach
- Day: Monday
- Time: 10 AM - 4 PM
While having leisure time at Dazzle Beach, Dreamers can try to befriend a Sea Turtle by gaining its trust. The Critter is very shy and will immediately hide inside the safety of its shell until players go away. To interact with a Sea Turtle, stay by its side until the creature gets out of the shell.
Black Sea Turtle is the rarest breed of Turtles and like the others, it enjoys Seaweed the most in Disney Dreamlight Valley; Seafood is also acceptable. Feeding it three times should unlock the turtle as a companion. The sea creature is available from 10 AM to 4 PM on Monday.
5 Blue Raccoon
- Biome: Forest of Valor
- Day: Wednesday
- Time: 4 PM - 10 PM
The Forest of Valor is inhabited by sketchy Raccoons of all types. The Blue breed in particular is extremely rare and can only be seen on Wednesday from 4 PM to 10 PM. Dreamers will need to get some Blueberries to feed the Blue Raccoon its favorite food, and they may also bring Raspberry and Gooseberry as alternatives.
To feed the Blue Raccoon, approach it carefully and wait until the Critter notices players. Next, stay still once it raises its head and move when the Raccoon lowers its head. Keep repeating the steps until interaction becomes possible. The Blue Raccoon needs to be fed a minimum of three times to get it as a companion.
4 Pink Crocodile/ White Crocodile
- Biome: Glade of Trust
- Day: Saturday/ Sunday
- Time: 6 AM - 12 PM/ 6 PM - 12 AM
The Glade of Trust costs 5,000 Dreamlight to unlock, so make sure to save up some Dreamlight before attempting to befriend Crocodiles. The process is similar to the Raccoons, kind of like the game Red Light Green Light. Approach the Crocodile when the head is down, and stop when the head is raised.
Pink or White Crocodile is not that common, and if Dreamers wish to get it as a companion, the Critter must be fed at least four times. Its favorite food is Lobster as well as Fish and Seafood caught from the Glade of Trust.
3 Orchid Sunbird
- Biome: Sunlit Plateau
- Day: Friday
- Time: 9 AM - 3 PM
Unlike other Critters whose favorite food is only one item, Orchid Sunbirds actually prefer a variety of flowers. Anything pink and purple is welcomed and Pink Bromeliad in Disney Dreamlight Valley is probably the easiest to grab since it’s in the same Biome as the bird, Sunlit Plateau.
Dreamers need to feed the Orchid Sunbird four times minimum to gain its trust and obtain a new Critter friend. This type of rare breed only appears on Friday from 9 AM till 3 PM.
2 Red Fox
- Biome: Frosted Heights
- Day: Saturday
- Time: 2 AM - 8 AM
Although one is a predator and the other is a prey, players can befriend Foxes using the same method of approaching a Rabbit. The Red Fox will jump joyfully upon seeing the players and then run away. Follow it three times back and forth to finally catch it.
Upon approaching the Red Fox, offer a White Sturgeon in Disney Dreamlight Valley as the Fish is its favorite food. To obtain the Critter as a companion, feed the Fox White Sturgeon at least five times. The Red Fox comes to Frosted Heights between 2 AM and 8 AM on Saturday.
1 Brown Raven
- Biome: Forgotten Lands
- Day: Tuesday
- Time: 6 PM - 12 AM
Ravens inhabit one of the most expensive Biome in Disney Dreamlight Valley. The Forgotten Lands cost 15,000 Dreamlight, and Sunlit Plateau calls for 7,000 Dreamlight; this area contains the only two paths leading to the Forgotten Lands.
