Quick Links
There are several types of Critters inDisney Dreamlight Valley. Each one resides in a specific Biome and cannot be found anywhere else. Moreover, these animals have a schedule for when they appear in the valley.
As players may know,to gain any Critter as a companion inDisney Dreamlight Valley, the creature must be fed multiple times to gain its trust. According to the internal game timer, Dreamers are only allowed to feed the Critters once every day, and it resets at 12 AM. It’s possible to interact with them and feed them again, but the animals won’t offer any gifts like usual. So, it’s best if players know when a specific creature becomes available in the village to catch it.

Updated on Jun 09, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:The Storybook Vale paid expansion pack adds three new companions, which are Baby Dragons, Baby Peagsi, and Owls. Dreamers will need to figure out how to approach each of these cute creatures if they wish to bond with them and unlock the Critters as companions that follow you everywhere. Additionally, keep in mind that each Critter have different variations and some are rarer to encounter than others.
