April is almost up, and for Animal Crossing: New Horizons fans that means making sure all critters are accounted for as a new month rolls in. Here at The Gamer, we'll always have you covered when it comes to this.
In this guide, you'll find lists of all the new sea creatures coming to your islands this May, as well as all the sea creatures on their way out at the same time. As always, our guide is split up into separate lists for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, so make sure you're looking at the correct ones for your own island!
New Sea Creatures In May - Northern Hemisphere
We have a handful of new sea creatures coming next month, and they're mostly worth quite a lot. The Gigas Giant Clam and Vampire Squid in particular can fetch you a good 15,000 and 10,000 Bells, respectively.
Here they all are, along with the size of each creature's shadow, their swimming speeds, the time of day you can find them, and their sale values:
- Vampire Squid | Medium | Quick | 4 PM - 9 AM | 10,000 Bells
- Spotted Garden Eel | Small | Slow | 4 AM - 9 PM | 1,100 Bells

New Sea Creatures In May - Southern Hemisphere
