Animal Crossing: New Horizons players get to interact with a bunch of different critters throughout the year. They can catch these critters and then decide between donating the items to Blathers at the Museum or selling them to the Nook brothers or C.J., whoever offers them the highest price.
However, the critters that players get to see on their island change every month. Here are all the different critters players can expect to see on their Animal Crossing: New Horizons islands in May 2022.
