All new critters arriving in Animal Crossing: New Horizons in October

Every month in Animal Crossing, certain critters leave and are replaced by new ones. All critters, whether they are sea creatures, fishes or bugs, have a set time when they spawn in the game. The exodus of critters is more drastic when seasons end, and that's what is happening now.

September is the last summer month and October is the first fall month, meaning a lot of critters will be leaving when summer officially ends, but new ones will be arriving as well. With September almost over and October just over the horizon, here's a list of what critters will be arriving when the calendar flips over.
