All GTA Online Possessed Animals locations during Halloween 2023

GTA Online Halloween 2023 event is in its final week, and players will encounter various elements in the game’s open world, including the newly released Possessed Animals. It is a seasonal random event introduced as San Andreas Mercenaries drip-feed content, and Rockstar kept it completely distinct from the other Halloween-themed random proceedings.

Players can find Possessed Animals on the streets of Los Santos or Blaine County, all of them turning black with blood and wounds. These vicious creatures could be anywhere in the open world, making it necessary to know their spawn location.

To that end, this article shares all types and locations of GTA Online Possessed Animals currently live during the Halloween 2023 event week.

GTA Online Possessed Animals is one of the best Halloween modes introduced in 2023.

GTA Online Possessed Animals: When do they spawn during Halloween 2023?

The Possessed Animals may appear randomly in the locations mentioned above. However, they generally spawn during a particular in-game time. Players should be careful between 8 pm to 1 am in any kind of multiplayer session. While it’s true these creatures can appear in all lobbies, certain conditions must be met for them to spawn:

Players must not be inside any building but Free Roam
Players must have joined the session for at least 16 minutes
Players must not be inside a vehicle but on foot
Players must be near the predetermined locations

Once these conditions are met, a Possessed Animal will appear, looking completely normal from a distance but quickly becoming hostile in the ongoing Grand Theft Auto Online Halloween 2023 event.

With Rockstar making so many additions to the current game, fans shouldn’t expect Grand Theft Auto 6 anytime soon.
